DCA - 04/15/2011

While waiting for my flight I was able to get a few shots off. Unfortnately it seems like airports never clean the glass in the terminals. Sorry for the poor quality and the heat waves.

A pleasant surprise (I saw this come in but didn't have my camera out)

Great stuff Mark ! Today was airTran day or something .... lol

Manny, that would have been perfect for me that you are only going Saturday since I could not do the Friday, BUT of course my "luck" my 1st year anniversary with my wife is the 23rd so that weekend is pretty much a no go for me :(

You forget what I think was Texas One at TPA. Whichever the SWA bald eagle one is. Cant remember off hand. And yes they dont seem to clean windows at airports. But at one point I had windows so clean I was fighting glare from INSIDE the terminal :eek: And I swear the AA One World is stalking me. Its at the AA hanger at JFK and I just got back from ORD getting it.

WORK IT OUT dude, that's what I did. Tell "her" that you will spend a beautiful Sunday in Washington DC and you just would love to visit the show on Saturday. You can have Saturday night in DC and then all of Sunday. I am sure you can manage to take her somewhere special in DC... Anyway, that's what I am doing, takign wife and kid and spending Sunday with them in exchange for Saturday in Camp Springs MD :tongue:

Nice shots, Mark. I had been contemplating going out to Gravely Point all year and finally decided to take advantage of the nice weather and took the metro out there yesterday. Unfortunately the clouds rolled in within minutes of getting there but it was still an enjoyable experience! It was really crowded.

I've never had the opportunity to make it out to Gravely Point. I'm hoping one of these days to make it there to enjoy the surroundings and of course the spotting!!!

I've been there once, while I was waiting for my girlfriend at the time to fly into DCA. I got there late in the afternoon, and only had about an hour of light left. They were using 1 instead of 19 so the planes were taking off over me. It would have been better if they were landing over me instead.
