Hope you enjoy the shots!

The last Shots in the Evening Light are killer... :biggrin:

Markus

Thanks Markus!

Outstanding set! I absolutely love that last QATAR shot!

I really like my new body's ISO performance vs my old one, makes shots like those somewhat doable!

I like very much that Atlas Air...and what airline is that B-747? - great shot too...

And a lot of other very good shots, nice airplanes

Thanks Gintaras! The head on B744 is China Cargo Airlines.

a lot of nice shots there

Gee … what a awesome set. The light is awesome on the last set of images.

Thanks guys! Yea luckily the light was nice most of the day!

Wow! Awesome snow shots, amazing set!

Thanks so much!

Excellent set(s) of images! Those are definitely some killer spotting locations!

It doesn't get much better than being right next to the runway!

I'm planning a trip out there in Oct. I might have to have you meet me up there and show me some of these spots.

Good stuff Alex. I need to get to ORD for some serious spotting. It is on the short list for 2014.
