Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport (AZA, KIWA, IWA) "Willie"

[Scott Youmans]

The much sought after Willie take-off shot! Great catch.

[Chris V]

Thanks Scott! I haven't been out much lately so when the Black Knights did a fly by over our house I decided to check it out 

[Joe Copalman]

So sharp I feel like I can shave with that leading edge root extension.

Killer shot.

Thanks Joe!!

Down low, with the tripod leaned against the fence, the Auto Chinon Multi-Coated, 50mm, f1.7 at around f2.8.  I like that this lens is small enough to shoot between the wires in the fence.

Not a shot that I would look for, but I really, really like it!  Nice work, Anna!
