This vintage Red Bull airplane hasn’t flown over the US since the 1950s – so an artist captured the flight with an equally vintage camera from a WWII bomber

Photos from the Red Bull Flying Bulls Douglas DC-6B flight shot using vintage cameras.

The DC-6B, part of the Flying Bulls' vintage fleet of airplanes, was built in Santa Monica in 1958, but the plane hadn’t returned to American soil since. When Red Bull brought the 1958 aircraft for a flight across the US, the team opted to record the flight with vintage camera equipment.
