Remarks: This was a shot I had been dreaming of a long way back, I was just so fortunate enough to get it on the DC-8's final week of service with Arrow. Dedicated to all the Diesel-8 lovers out there! [Canon EOS 350D Digital Rebel XT + Canon EF 100-400mm f4.5-5.6 L IS USM]
Remarks: This is one of my fist night shots! Fortunately it stood a few minutes on the runway to warm up the engines. I made a 30 seconds exposure but it accelerated a few seconds early so the AN seems like a ghost and you see the terminal in the background.
Remarks: "Phillip Island" also known as "Oneworld" logojet prior towing into Gate 121 at the Tom Bradley Int. Terminal after completing Qantas Flight # 108 from New York JFK.
Remarks: Visitors have gathered at the observation deck at NGO on a beautiful sunday afternoon. What impressed me is that they actually bring the whole family and stayed there for a long time looking at every single aircraft taking off or landing.
Remarks: Voted by all in attendance the "money shot of the trip." What a beautiful display of color, aerodynamics, and vortices. Climbing out from 12R in the early morning light. As Adam Wright said, "Fedex always pleases," and they sure do. Canon 350D
