Great shots all.  It is amazing that an airplane that big can be so agile.

Awesome series Jay.  Interesting that he taxied past the FBO - normally he turns off at Kilo.  Did he land long, or just on one of the far runways?

[Jay Beckman]

Thanks!  

They landed 30L but as they turned off, I moved down to the fence and over on the sidewalk SE of the picnic tables for the "formation" shot.

It's probably impossible to read at this size but the name above the forward boarding door: "Spirit of Ronald Reagan"

Killer shot John.  That light is amazing.

Killer shot John.  That light is amazing.

Thanks, Joe!  I agree the "Golden Hour" light (to steal your phrase!) is usually killer.  I am a bit unhappy about the slight vignetting, but I am slowly getting over it.

I also wish I had a 600mm lens to catch the paras it dropped a ten minutes earlier!
