Outliers | B-25 Crawlway The B-25 Bombardier’s Crawlway looks like a tight squeeze and a bit daunting. Entry to the bombardier’s nose compartment is through the tunnel beneath the left side of the flight deck. Although it’s called a “crawlway”, the easiest and fastest method to get through is to lie on your back and pull yourself along the sheet-metal deck using the yellow hand-rails overhead.

Nikon D3x Bread Sticks | Kelly D Experimental The Kelly D is an experimental aircraft made by Noll Roddy Brooks in 1988. It sort of looks antique, but notice the engine, a Lycoming 0-290. None the less, it’s one of the many beautiful planes attending the AAA Fly-in. The experimental airplane must have inspired a bit of artistry in this image. For a photographer, Antique Field at the AAA Fly-in provides nice backgrounds to explore.
