These shots are about two years old now, but I thought that they looked good enough to upload. The aircraft is a Fairchild PT-26, a World War II US military trainer. I believe the white one is a Cessna 180.
(Also got to ride in and take the controls of the PT-26!)

Thanks for looking!

Wonderful shots! Just awsome.

And the white one looks more like a 170, on account of the rounded trailing edges of the horizantal stabilizers and wingtips

Nice! Even though it's a bit washed out, I like the perspective in #2. Cool

You know, other than the sky being completely white, I like the hazy washed out look in #2 Cool
