Paul Fleming and James Lake Flight Test the XP-72
On Thursday, July 25, 2019, the XP-72 underwent further flight tests at Sanderson Field, Shelton, WA. The plane suffered a landing gear problem at the end of the flight; however, I am sure it will be ready for more flight tests in the near future.
The images below are 1400px wide and are best displayed on a desktop monitor. The images will, however, scale to small displays.
I hope you enjoy these images as much as I enjoyed capturing them.

About the Images
The images were taken with a Canon Rebel T3i. I used Canon 60mm and 100mm macro lense for the images. All images received simple processing in Photoshop and were saved as low-resolution JPEG images that were optimized for the Web.
