LGA - 3/28/07

I went spotting yesterday for the first time since September. Seriously. Man I missed it.

Got some LGA action. There were a LOT of private traffic that really surprised Tommy and I.

I did loose edits on soe of my shots, but here's some of what we got:

I FINALLY got the Astrojet. It took YEARS and taking pics of it literally a dozen times before I either got it right or had good weather. I've seen it through windows, during haze, backlit, and even accidentally underexposed it -2 once from this same spot. Well, it's finally in the bag with a shot that I'm pleased with...I shot RAW + JPEG this time to make sure. :)

One of many bizjets from the day.

We got some good banks, but many planes went wide.

This was a nice surprise. I'd forgotten all about it.

Great shots Phil. I was at work when you shot those, I got some nice shots of the Eagles 319 but the AstroJet had her reversers open and spoilers up and slowing down before I saw her so no shot for me. One of the drawbacks of shooting at work.

Cheers
