Pamięci..., a photo from Wielkopolskie, West

Photographer's Note

Air Show - 21 may 2011 rok.
Marek Szufa - aeroplane Christen Eagle.
Village Michalkow, near Ostrow Wielkopolski - aerodrome.

He was the captain of LOT Polish Airlines, where he has been working since 1979, flying various types of aircraft, including Boeing 767. He had over 20,000 hours spent flying aircraft.
The greatest success of the sport achieved in gliding acrobatics, he was the second runner-up in the world and long-time member of the national team. He was also a multiple runner-up in Poland in aerobatic acrobatics and a multiple champion in aeronautical modeling in the F4G class.
He repeatedly participated in air shows. He died tragically on June 18, 2011 during the 5th Plock Air Picnic. His plane, Christen Eagle II (no.: N54CE), after performing a few aerobatic figures at low altitude, crashed on the Vistula, hitting the water mirror.

Bonjour, cher Christophe,
J'adore les avions, celui-ci est de toute beauté et en plus un excellent avion pour les acrobaties aériennes.
Il faut avoir les nerfs solides pour réaliser de telles prouesses.
Trčs bon sujet.
Amitiés.
Philippe

Hello Krzysztof,
A wonderful gesture to the pilot, who gave you a glance from the cocpit. The small plane wellplaced within the pic. frame, fine ots contourlines of the fuselage wings and rotor. Intriguing photography session.
Regards,
Ike

Witaj Krzysztof,
A poignant image featuring this brave pilot who unfortunately died less than one month after you made this capture. The tight framing puts the accent on the pilot and his aircraft. The image is very well realised.

Hi Krzysztof,

The tight frame is putting the aircraft in evidence. The close-up point of view is showing the details of the Christen Eagle II. You also have capture the serious expression of the pilot. Have a nice day.

Pokazy lotnicze sa atrakcyjne, ale tez niebezpieczne, parę wypadkow sie wydarzylo. Ty tu przywolujesz pamiec pilota, historia jest niesprawiedliwa, takich ludzi malo kto pamieta, a duzo gorszych osobnikow czci sie pomnikami
pozdrawiam Ryszard

Ciao Krzysztof

What a cute little plane. I don't think I'd like to fly in it though, it does not look very sturdy. Beautiful colours, sharpness and light.

Excellent work
Lisa

Hello Krzysztof,

Punchy light contrasts, and at least he sadly died doing what he loved most as depicted here, which was flying all types of aircraft. Good sharpness and excellent framing and composition. Tfs!
