Goal of the Photo
Renowned air show pilot Skip Stewart performed a series of amazing aerobatic maneuvers while flying at the 2021 Decatur 75th Anniversary Air Show. This maneuver showed off the knife edge flight capabilities of his modified Pitts Special called "Prometheus". With this photo I wanted to show off both the power and agility of the aircraft as well as a different perspective than one might see in a more typical aviation photo.
