This photo, which I call Skim The Water, captures a bright yellow vintage aircraft cruising low above the shoreline during the Huntington Beach Air Show. With the deep blue ocean stretching out behind it, the plane glides just above the waves, creating the illusion that it’s almost touching the water. Below, spectators line the sandy beach—some standing, some seated, and others aiming cameras skyward—as they watch the aircraft sweep past. The vivid colors and close-to-shore flight path create a lively, energetic scene that blends aviation excitement with classic California beach culture.
