Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX, KPHX)

Here's the final version of shots at 70mm.  I have another 30-45 minutes worth shot at 135mm.  I'll get to those later in a different compilation.
This photo represents the South runways traffic at Sky Harbor on Feb. 24, 2012, between 8:00 and 9:09 A.M.
There are 51 airplanes in this compilation, not including the ones on the ground.  There were a couple planes, all general aviation I think, which climbed too quickly to go thru the frame.
I count 7 airlines represented, counting United/Continental as one, 4 bizjets, Turboprops and general aviation planes, a USAF Tanker, and a MD-11 FEDEX.
There is one special livery, the Alaska Idatarod paint scheme.
The dominance of Southwest and USAirways really shows.

Awesome, really nice work, Bill!

...very cool!

[Brian Lockett]

That's very illustrative of how busy Sky Harbor is.

[Jay Beckman]

Totally poster worthy!

Looks like a typical morning at Sky Harbor.

Nice shot Matt. I like that you can see the extreme dihedral and the Phoenix skyline.  No mistaking that it's a 787!

So Scott caught the front half of Camelback Mountain...and I managed to grab the back half...


Taxiing between the two 07 runways, almost all the way to the west end...


...before making the final turn towards Cutter.
