View Full Version : Time on my hands - two files attached

Attached are two files, an original black and white and a photoshopped 
version of the same.
The building is the original terminal building at Fort Worth's municipal 
airport, sometime in the late 1930s.  It no longer exists.  The airplanes 
are era-specific and were added just for fun.
Conversion was made with Photoshop's "colorize" feature plus a few other 
tricks.
All comments are welcomed - cheers, jeers or ho-hums.

Nice work overall though the planes are an obvious paste up
 But thats cool because it looks like the art work for a retro post card or 
advertisement

I agree with Clairbear about the great postcard look of the aircraft.  The 
colorization is very good.  I particularly like the attention to detail of 
colorizing the 2 windows you can see through the building.

I suspect the tri-motor was photographed on the ground, otherwise the
full down elevator and left rudder with neutral aileron would make
life interesting ;-)

Gee...I thought no one would notice.  Here's the original.
Notice it is marked American Airways - the predecessor of American Airlines 
which was founded in Fort Worth at Meacham Airport.
