48hr Photo Comp: Undersides

[LN Strike Eagle]

[plug]In the latest UKAR Podcast, Sam surmises that - photographically speaking - the cockpit of an aircraft acts like the eyes of an animal and that a photograph without the cockpit visible "isn't nearly as satisfactory as one with, like a topside".[/plug]

Let's test his theory - show me shots of the undersides of aircraft, with the cockpit obscured or completely hidden from view.

Maximum of three images each.

What a great counter-intuitive idea!

I support the competition setter's hypothesis:
