This is a great shot of the RJ.  Too bad the shadows masked the antenna farm on the belly.  Regardless, this is a wonderful shot of a special aircraft.  I wonder how much drag is created by all the stuff hanging off the belly?

Thanks.  Was at 25mm and kinda-sorta squinting in anticipation (unlike 99% of my sun-crossings, this was intentional), so it wasn't too bad.  Had I been at 500mm and not expecting it, I'd probably be wearing an eyepatch today.

I'm surprised you lasted that long.  I stopped by on Tuesday on my way home from work and lasted about 40 minutes for the same reason.  My last two  KC-135R shots were actually taken from inside terminal 4 as I was waiting for my flight to Baltimore.  The only thing one has to deal with there is window flare and fingerprints.
