This contest will be about people who are aircraft pilots. They can be fictional characters or media portrayals of real people. The aircraft should be real-world types, commercial, private or military. Fixed-wing, rotary, lighter-than-air, all acceptable. Spacecraft also count if they are real, not fictional. SF/F is OK, within those limits. Entries should fit the "classic" avatar standards, 150x150 px or 140 kb max file size. Please post only the image you are entering. The thread for entries will be open five-ish days. I will not enter nor vote except in case of a tie. Thanks for participating and best of luck!
Maverick, aka Lieutenant Pete Mitchell (Tom Cruise) US Navy pilot from "Top Gun" Plane : F-14 Tomcat fighter aircraft
- Dennis Quaid as Gordon Cooper in The Right Stuff (I was originally planning to enter Yeager or Glenn, but out of the images I found for The Right Stuff, I liked this one the best, so Cooper it is! )
Yeah, that's supposed to be the whole image. If that one were sized down to 150px wide, it would look like this: Also, in the OP I said the subjects should be "people," so robots would technically not count. But it was a robot in the form of a person and played by a human, so I am inclined to let it go and let the voters decide.
My first wish was to show Will Smith in Independance Day, but Imcould not find an image! Thanks for the "exception", J.T.B., and thanks to Avro for the Assist! Here we go, again!!!
Same problem, again. I think it's something with your image host. I went ahead and cropped it down and uploaded it on my Imgur, feel free to use that.
