Loving that backlit sunset shot, Chris. I tried to do something with that, but it didn't come out nearly as good. I think I at least got the Hang Loose thing in the cockpit.

Making a run for it.

Danish. Known for pastries and....helos?

A sunset taxi for the carrier's taxi...

I really like the light on this one Dave. Was that on their taxi to the west EOR? It almost looks like 'head-on' sunset light is hitting the front of the fuselage and props. Again, very nice.

Jeff,

He was on the taxiway parallel to the runway, headed to that west EOR. This is the same taxiway that is in your shot of the KC-10 . When the C-2 did his full stops, I ran over to the south boundary of our 'photog box' and grabbed some frames as he was headed west.

I do like the 'sun in his face' illumination.
