I am pleased to inform you that I am the author of this picture shot on 8th October 2007 over the western Swiss countryside. Raymond Oostergo was crew chief of he DC-2 on this flight Geneva-Amsterdam. I shot quite a series of pictures from a Yak-52 base at Bex aerodrome. We had a phone briefing to arrange the air-to-air photo session with Raymond. You might add now Copyright Joe Rimensberger. Thanks + best regards.

Cheers,
Will
