Sunset as we climb out of Missouri, St. Louis at the tail, Charlotte on the nose. On the way to STL the Captain and I were talking when I overheard a unique callsign on the radio. I held up my hand, "Did you hear that? I think he just said 'Air Force One''. Sure enough, the next transmission was Air Force One confirming a frequency change with the Air Traffic Controller. Huh. Kinda cool.
This one's for you Jennifer! On the ground in STL, a C-17 Globemaster cargo plane sits with Missouri Air National Guard F-15 Eagle's visibile behind. I wouldn't mind driving either.
Enroute from Colorado Springs to Phoenix, crossing the southern end of the Rockies. Cool how the broken cloud layer extends eastward from the mountains, while the west side is clear.
Another shot of the snow-capped Rockies as we near the border of Colorado/New Mexico. The night before, a 100 knot wind was at our tail pushing us towards COS at over 550 knots across the ground. In the morning, we have 120 knots of wind directly on our nose, struggling to do 380 knots over the ground.
Washington Dulles playing hide-n-seek in the fog.
'Uptown' Charlotte, trying its best to hide in the low fog layer. Approaches down to just above 'minimums', but luckily everyone was getting in.
5 points to whoever can guess where this picture was taken. Oh, and the points are redeemable for... nothing. Ha.
Can you spot the plane? If you can, you should point it out to me, then have your head checked because I'm fairly sure there aren't any in either of these pictures!
Just bored, playing with my camera and a pretty shot of the leaves changing outside of my apartment.
