My little walk

Postby Gunny04 » Mon Dec 25, 2006 12:33 pm

I decided to take a walk to the local airport, its about 2.2 miles from my house one way so its a pretty nice trek up there.... anyways when I got there I was quite fortunate to catch a plane actually landing. Here are a few shots of my walk.

Such a nice day... Bout 40ish or so with a little breeze
Image

Hmm my camera seems alright with zoom/auto focus
Image

Took this picture with my maximum 8X zoom from about a quarter of a mile away or more (Across that dirt patch and a road)
Image

Airplane!
Image

I couldnt get a picture of it landing, a hanger in the way, its a Cessna 172M (I looked it up)
Image

From an angle
Image

Not sure what this is. Any ideas?
Image

Putting her up in the hanger, the pilot (guy in bomber jacket) Told me I had to leave, your obviously not aloud inside the fenced in areas...
Image

Have a nice one, I took 40 pictures in all, most came out, Have a good Holiday!

Thanks for the comment, yea if you can actually get it to focus and see the LCD in the sunlight you can get some good results.

Your mystery plane looks like an early model C172.

Could be warmer, 3-5 weeks ago there was more than a foot of snow on the ground with temps in the teens (about 10ishF or less)
