Nice set William! I know the feeling when heat haze ruins many shots.

Thank you Mark, it seems like it's almost always a tradeoff- enjoy nice temps but the pictures suffer, or freeze our a**es off but get good photos.

That last shot is fantastic

Great shots megatop; it was a really nice day. Clear blue sky and as you said hardly any heat haze.

I headed to PHL that day after spending the first half of the day at the Allentown Air Show.

It was nice to go back to PHL after not being there for nearly a year!

Some head-on shots from the pond:

US A321 overhead.

*Random, but I spotted this strange ball of small catfish at the edge of the pond…

I almost missed this one thinking it was just another US E-190 but it’s my first JetBlue at PHL.

I was pretty happy to get back to PHL and I love the new variety of traffic. Also I guess this is old news but Qatar might be starting service to Philly? That would be awesome!

Great shots William! I like how you caught that A319 dropping a little red bomb. :tongue:

Great shots William, I also really like the blimp shot!

Cary, that head on shot of the AA Md-80 is awesome.

William, that A340 departure shot is killer!
