Decided to have a go at this, duplicated the pic, desaturated the new layer and then did an equalise and set to overlay and reduced to 50% opacity. On a copy merged layer, ran a highpass and set to overlay mode. You could isolate the affect just to the plane with a mask |

I extracted the plane, set a Curves AJ to really lighten it. Duped, High Pass to sharpen.
On a background duplicate, I did a Lens correction vignette, and then a G blur. Made a gradient mask so the blur would not affect the foreground as much.
If I had time, I probably would have replaced the ominous sky. |

Here is another look that I thought you might like. brightened the plane slightly and faded the background in the first one, and faded the background a little less in the second one, but desaturated it completely. |

Dave... I must have been a great inspiration, cause your fleet of Cesnas is cool! Great job on the propeller motion blur! :-) |

Swampy it would be good to see your plane nose diving towards the ground with smoke coming from the engine.
Dave how did you do it? |
