I took this with a Sony A7 and a Sony FE 200-600mm zoom lens.

Fun fact: one of them is named Spirit of Kitty Hawk, after the place where the Wright brothers flew.
Another fun fact: Apollo 11 (first humans on the moon) brought with them a piece of the original Wright Flyer. So that scrap of wood was both a part of the first powered flight and the first landing of humans on another world.
The piece of wood is currently on display at the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum, right next to the rest of the Wright Flyer.
War is bad, but I love the planes.
