LFPG to KIAD

[Triple_7]

Well, its been awhile sence I have been able to fly anywhere.  Its been a hectic couple weeks of more computer problems and working.  But things are slowly getting back to normal.  For now.  I decided it was time to take a small trip back home.  I made it to Washington Dulles Intl. earlier today.  

Its 10:30 AM as we hold short of runway 8L.

About 2/3 down the runway AF28 heavy begins its 8 hour journey to Washington.

Cruising at 36,000 feet not long after entering Canadian airspace.

Touchdown runway 1L KIAD.

12:05 PM and finaly parked at the gate.  We arived about 40 minutes early.  I'm heading for a hotel then its off to my home town.  After that I'm not sure

Nice shots, but your takeoff at LFPG looks strangely like your landing at KIAD.

Nice shots, but your takeoff at LFPG looks strangely link your landing at KIAD.

I never noticed that till now.  Taken almost 8 hours apart and still look similar.  If it wasnt for the scenery change and the smoke it would look almost like the same shot.  Flying that route I only lost 2 hours so its almost the same lighting.  Guess I'm going to have to try more angles for every shot.  But they really are 2 different places and times

Thanks,

Well I finaly made it home.  I took off from KIAD at 8 this morning in a Lear bound for Fort Wayne, IN.   About a hundred miles outside FWA I had to divert due to a storm that had moved in.  Sence the storm was mostly in FWA I decided that I would just go ahead and change my coarse for Wabash.  It was only 30 miles out of the way and it was closer anyway.  But I cant say the weather was a whole lot better.  High winds and a sudden downdraft on aproch nearly sent us crashing to the ground.  But we made it to the runway safely.  So I'm now spending a couple days visiting then I decided to treat my self to a 3 day vacation to St. Maarten.  But then its back to Washington and finaly Paris.

I only have 1 shot due to some computer problems so here it is.  

On aproch to Wabash Mun.
