While waiting for the 777 to return to PHX today, caught these guys.

Any idea what the USA VIP jet was doing in PHX this weekend?

[Paul Dumm]

McCain in Town?

[redsox223]

He was, but he was for his own campaigning, would the govt pay for that type of trip.

[Joe Copalman]

C-37A from the 89th Airlift Wing.  Could be any number of VIPs.  Anyone know if there's any brass in town?

Some stuff from today, working on the 'Smokin the Mains' challenge...

Trying to catch the Delta A330 this morning, I got some more practice on this month's challenge.  Unfortunately, the A330 landed long and I wasn't able to get a shot.  But I was able to catch these guys:

Care to share were you located yourself for these?

[Dave S.]

Mitchell,

Sure thing, I'll send you a PM with some details.

Great panning shots Dave!

Tried a new location at Sky Harbor today.  Although it was breezy and the temperature seemed pretty cool, there was quite a bit of heat haze for stuff on/near the ground.  Here are some shots showing off the new location.  I'm really liking the reflection of the runway in the AA 737's belly.

[CJPalmer]

Those reflections are very cool.

[Rob Silliman]

Those reflections are very cool.

Only possible on the AA 737's.  The MD-80's would still be trying to get off the ground.
