KTUS Spotting (lots of pics)

Postby BAW0343 » Fri Feb 23, 2007 3:38 am

This was my first time out. Found a beautiful spot at the end of runway 11L. A dirt patch almost directly under the glide slope and I was as close to the airport as I could get.  ;D I was pretty happy  ;D  Now for your viewing enjoyment 11 photos,

First one up high to get us started

Airbus?? Cant quite tell and I have no idea what airline (its heading south over Tucson if that helps)

Now for the landing aircraft,

What is this?  :-? ^^^^^ Its cool  ;D

Personal favorite airline:

After I had been there an hour they decided to change runways on me... I wasn't too happy, a Lufthansa was due to land which I didn't expect to see here and I had to race about 5 miles to the other end of the airport. I got there in time to see a Fedex land but didn't see the Lufthansa so I'm not sure it made it in  >:( Either way its was really fun to go check out the area and it was fun to use my camera for the use I intended it for  ;D

And yes post is under 500kb  ;D

Yea Arizona is known for that  ;D  When it rains there are 2 reactions:
#1. What did we do wrong!?
#2. THE SKY IS FALLING THE SKY IS FALLING!

#2 is my personal reaction  ;)

Its funny I see these all the time, I love seeing European planes, thats why I was disappointed when I didn't see the Lufthansa  ;) Anyway I'm happy to share  ;D
