The shadow on the roof looks like a Piper of some sort.
Aircraft 1 is a 1946 Piper J-3 cub, registration N92030, serial #16463.
Aircraft 2 is a gray jet.
The photo was taken from the back seat of Aircraft #1.
What did I win?
Tim
I guess we weren't clear on what we meant by "where it was taken." Your claim has been forwarded to the Jury.
I think that qualifies as a near miss. Quick reaction by the photographer, though.
Another thing you "weren't clear" on is there is only one aircraft in the picture. There is also a large gray pointy lawn ornament. Maybe your question writers should stick to flying.

owlshead?
Nope.

It's an all expense paid breakfast at Lumruss on February 13. Congratulations!

volunteer ofthe year-
with a brand new set of (2) applicator pads, I'll have to do the dishes. !
