PHL 3/23/13- Get your US On IMAGE HEAVY

Finally finished editing, we had some nice light and half a dozen people out at Philly on Saturday afternoon. Although we should have been shooting video with the way the winds were gusting on final

A nice Pilatus

...which seems to have only one tip tank??? Wouldn't that cause balance problems?

I don't think this guy cares how many tanks he has based on his look to me

Forgot one- AS sent a -900 our way and I was looking forward to getting the Disneyland scheme in good light finally. Until I was told AS has 17 -900's

Wait, we're allowed to park along Hog Island Road? What in the world is going on??! :confused::tongue:

That may be a weather radar installation on the Pilatus, not a fuel tank. Single engine, they can't put it in the nose...

Moose is right, that is indeed a weather radar on the PC-12. They're very well designed aircraft and are built like tanks, I'm certain the presence of the radome is perfectly compensated for.

Thank you gents! Mystery solved, very interesting. Now I'll go correct my online database(dropshots).

Cary, had I shown up 45 minutes earlier, I would have told that cop "Don't you know who this is? It's the Cary Liao.":cool: I'm sure that would have satisfied his need to maintain law and order. On a serious note, you didn't miss any specials, AND you got that Il-76 down in BWI AND the 747SP just a few months ago, both in great light. You are doing well my friend

Outstanding! I've vowed to get out there and film when it gets warmer...

If you mentioned my name, he would have gotten out of his car and started beating me :) Glad you weren't harassed, but I do wonder what the same cop would have done, had he come across a group of 5-6 people :)

I will come out there sometime soon
