IAD/BWI 2/20

Hi gang!

I will be heading to DC area this weekend and was wondering if anyone would like to meetup for some spotting next Monday!

Cheers,
Dennis

I'll possibly be around. I'm down for any airport (BWI, DCA, IAD).

Possibly count me in for Monday. I have it off, and me thinks I deserve some spotting for my 18th Birthday.

Sounds good! Winds are probably coming from north Monday so I may start at BWI friendship park and end the day at Udvar-Hazy. Hope to see you guys there.

You probably already know this, but the light at BWI's Friendship park is horrid in the morning. Not sure if it would be the best place to be if you are after pictures.

Assuming the weather holds, I think I'll be at IAD all day. Daily 2 in the AM, UH in the PM, assuming the 1s are active.

Thanks Nick, I guess unless there's something worthy in the morning, I might just go IAD straight.

IAD gets PAINFULLY boring in the morning from around 9:30 to 11. I went a good 45 minutes without seeing anything yesterday.

Hate to say it, but I'm out as far as tomorrow is concerned. Richmond has been "paralyzed" by this snow storm, the roads here are a disgrace to mankind. Me thinks the next time I'll be up will be with the new camera, however :)

OK here are my shots from that date, I was so happy (NOT!) when I saw the Ryan A330 landing from MD-175 and Delta 747 landing one traffic light before Friendship Park. I pulled into the park just as about 10 spotters or so putting down their lens.

Dates are limited on these awesome DC-9s
