lucky

near Beatty, Nevada

seems this airplane crashed here in 1977, during a promotional stunt by the brothel (this is Nevada after all) itself...the pilot survived the incident, so must have thought he got lucky that day

for a more astute look at the plane itself, here is a link to Dan's image: http://www.pbase.com/image/162446905

Triste photo

Funny photo. Looks like the old C-47 (DC3). Maybe the guy was in a rush. Vote.

Guess Angel's ladies must have brought him luck that day! Love the details on the original image. V

Nice capture from this perspective, David. Lucky to have survived, or lucky to have landed near a brothel? ;-)

Julie Oldfield		27-Jan-2016 02:54
Awesome! Love the composition and light shining on the plane. Hope the pilot had better luck with the ladies! V

A brothel promoted by an air stunt !!!!!? Neat how the plane picks up the sky V

I think this view tells the story the best. Great color and contrast that bring back the feeling of being there on that beautiful, yet chilly morning. ~BV~

Read "Angel", sorry...

Seems a Guardian Angle must have been in the cockpit with him. Serendipitous juxtaposition of two totally unexpected subjects. "V"

Wonderful image of this wreck in a wonderful location, lucky for you ( and no doubt many other intrepid photographers ) that they have left it in place.

Fascinating tale, and now it could be seen as an art installation! V

This is great. Well photographed and ...educational

Some pilots say that any landing that you walkaway from is a good landing. An image with humor and a must shoot image since you were there. I know that you were just passing by when you saw this photo op. Beautifully composed with excellent details and lighting. VVV

Respite for the lonely and sore traveller. Great image, David, it has me laughing. :)
