Thanks Jeremy...
I just changed my typo from 767 to 757 which is what it is :-) it comes every so often from Bradley and never direct from Louisville or Philly which are the other cities along this route ... UPS 1121 or 1122 are the numbers I know of
Thanks John... I know it.. not because of time of year but PERIOD! I hear it is often not used for long periods... The wind on Saturday was PERFECTLY eastward :-) I totally lucked out but the light just dropped off in 15 minutes of me getting there.Quote:

UPS arrives from Bradley around 6:30am Tuesday - Saturday and departs to BDL around 8pm Monday - Friday. There's also a 757 that comes in from Louisville at 3am and departs at 4am to SYR (I don't have any photos of that flight :cool:). We'll get some additional UPS flights this time of year from other locations for the Christmas rush - in the past those were often with DC-8s but I don't know if they operate those any more.Quote:

Cool i will see if i can catch the 757 on film!
LOL Manny, "But honey, there were planes there!"
Surprised you had such a tough time fitting a lens through the fence gap, Manny... both my 70-200 f/2.8 and the 70-400 G fit through the fence gaps at ALB all right... albeit with limited panning range. Great shots! I was out at ALB yesterday, and 01 was in use. I love getting shots of jets turning on to TWY alpha, though a few got off at rwy 28.

Daniel saw it LOL. At Panera a few months ago when it was still relatively warm enough to hang out and chat. Yeah forget the 200-400mm f/4, no way... the 70-200 does it but I can;t pan and that is just bad for me. I made a couple of mistakes and did not stop my very limited pan and then the fence did its job and the lens made a nasty crunching sound... not happy at all hahahaha. I guess a high position far from the fence will give a good view of the runway. I still don;t get why the fences are so high. I mean, if someone really needed to get into the perimeter, they could easily do it at current heights. All it serves is to obstruct the views for legitimate spotters.
I wish every airport would adapt "The Holes" :-)
