    U.S.A Jet DC9-15 at FRG

    Yes it has returned and my camera will be coming with me to work tomorrow, hopefully it will still be there! I've wanted a picture of this classic for the longest time.

    do you mean a DC-9-15?
    it is mathematically impossible for either hummingbirds, or helicopters to fly. fortunately, neither are aware of this.

    According to Flightaware, she left around 4:00pm today.
    Shoot first, ask questions later.

    Here are some shots from today. I only had my P/S camera so the quality may not be that good.

    4:05, to be exact...







    Fred called me as he passed on his way to work, so I headed on down. Just as I pulled in to the lot at Sheltair, the sun came out, directly behind her. Saw she was buttoned up with the engines running, so I ran around to the terminal lot, pulling in just as she was taking the active for a 32 departure. Of course, just as she did, the sun went back behind the clouds :(

    Tommy, haven't I taught you anything? When you work 3 blocks from FRG, you always keep the camera in the car!

    Nope, you have more than 150 posts, you are no longer a newbie.
    30 cracks over the head with the wave in wands! j/k
    I worked @ FRG for 4 years and often left the camera at home.
    It took the last 6 months I was there to learn.

    BTW, nice catch Moose! The dark clouds behind it really make it jump.

    I concure Moose, love those shots in unique and challeging light, you did great !

    Now do any of you remember some short lived DC-9-10 passenger service at ISP in the mid 80's ? Here's is a clue, it was sub-service for an at the time significant ISP carrier ?

    Cheers

    Moose, those are AWESOME captures! Kudos!


    Ron, I'll guess....Mohawk? :oops:
    And I, I took the path less traveled by
    and that has made all the difference......yet...
    I have a feeling a handle of people are going to be very interested in what I post in the near future.

    Mario, Mohawk operated the BAC-1-11 and ceased to exist in 1968. This was in 1984. Try again Doctor.

    Moose, Did you photoshop that sky? :twisted: :borat:

    Outstanding! You really nailed that one :borat:
    The three most common expressions in aviation are, "Why is it doing that?", "Where are we?" and "Oh Crap".

    Great shots Moose! :borat:

    One of the USA Jet DC-9-15's was at AVP this summer - I couldn't get a good shot of it because of the heat haze :evil:
