An evening I simply could not resist

Postby flyboy 28 » Sun Apr 22, 2007 8:17 pm

I just had to head back to the airports this evening. The weather was too good to pass up.

Caught this Cub coming in to Alexandria. The lighting is phenomenal.

My best shot of the day, if not my best shot ever.

Then to Sky Manor. I need to become friends with this guy. :)

Beech E-55 rolling out. My second best shot of the day.

I wish I could post this one too. This was at Alexandria as I headed home. The perfect end to a day of spotting.

Second shot is awsome James, but the linked shot of the Cessna is absolutely stunning :o :o

Cheers,

You've outdone yourself this week!

Takes nerve to try to shoot in that light- the ugly flipside of dusk lighting is poor focus. But you did OK... ;D

Whatever happened to your girlfriend?

Traded her in for more time for spotting? ;D
