Welcome to our latest Caption Contest at Air Facts, where we post a photo and call on our very talented readers to provide a caption for that photo. Check out our most recent one below and if an amusing or clever caption comes to mind, just post it as a comment. In two weeks, we’ll cut off this contest and the staff of Air Facts will choose their favorite caption.
You will be rewarded for your effort! The winning caption writer will receive a prize: a personally autographed copy of Richard Collins’ latest book, Logbooks: Life in Aviation.
Good luck and have fun!
Update – we have a winner!
Congratulations to Ian Flint, who submitted the winning caption: “Perhaps I didn’t make myself clear. The ace is supposed to remain in the cockpit.”
Coming from an aviation family, John grew up in the back of small airplanes and learned to fly as a teenager.

WOW! The Caption Contest winner Ian Flint with the photo and caption, ” Perhaps I didn’t make myself clear. The ace is supposed to remain in the cockpit,” is GREAT. I flew in the Air Force, Mass ANG and private sector for almost 60 years…. have taken over 35,000 saved photos, and an ‘Aviation Nut’. I would like to contact Ian to ‘chat about his photography ‘work’ and Aviation. How can I do that?
