Not your typical shots...

Just thought I'd share some of my more unique shots from my SJC ramp collection.


Sometimes, on very rare occasions pilots will seem to "forget" to raise the flaps after landing.  It looks SOOOO cool to see the planes at the gate with flaps fully dumped.  Shortly after this shot was taken, the captain raised them.  Seeing and hearing them work from this vantage point was just AWESOME!

These next two shots were taken from the access road as we rode back from the Fed Ex ramp.  Not everyone's typical view from a road!  hehe

This shot was taken while I was standing in the main landing gear bay on the #1 side of a 737-700.  This shot looks directly through to the other side.  Notice the strut of the #2 main landing gear.
Image

This shot was taken at the end of the night from the "T-Point" and baggage claim belt area located under the terminal.

I miss SJC.  Hopefully I'll be able to get some pics from SAN to share with you guys.  We'll see.
