Sunday spotting- Alexandria p.1

Postby flyboy 28 » Mon Nov 27, 2006 6:49 pm

After work I decided to head to Alexandria (N85) and Sky Manor (N40) to see what was happening. A normal day considering the fine weather.

First- Alexandria. The setting sun proved to be a challenge, but I think I handled it alright. I have to spots, one is a cauldisack at the end of two-six, and the other right on the tie-down ramp. The owner of the airport came out and asked me not to walk around the ramp because of saftey, homeland security and whatnot. So that spots gone. :P I got some good shots from there though.

I posted a pic earlier this month of just the runway at sunset, with no plane. Well, now there is one. :)

This Cub came in and I couldn't get a good shot of him landing because he was coming in on eight, before the wind changed to two-six. Notice the sun. ::)

This lovely RG took off in a hurry. Very clean. :)

By far my best shot of the day. I heard on my scanner that this Cessna twin was coming in. I just had to get close to it. Wow, was this thing loud, even at idle. :o A shame I couldn't catch the vertical stabilizer. :-/

Next, more N85!
