The Indianapolis Motor Speedway is turned into an airport for the weekend. These daredevil pilots take off and land in the racetrack.

Wow! What fun! More fun to pilot the planes than watch from the stands! I took flying lessons in the 80's. I passed the written and solo'ed. I used to fly a lot of "touch and go's" and I did 2 - 100 mile trips, (100 miles each way Worcester, MA to Manchester, NH, plus I flew to Block Island from Worcester, MA also).

That about equals my flying experience. After getting my private license, I decided that I would leave the flying to the pros. After about 100 hours, I decided to stay on the ground. I could drive in a lot of crummy weather, but flying in that stuff was not for me.

Great photos with the 3rd one doing it for me.
Thanks, that one did come out well.The shutter speed was 1/320, which gives some blur in the prop and shows a little motion. Thanks for looking, appreciate your comment.
