This one fills the frame! "5" stars, Gary!!!
Thanx, Cliff. And Howdy to you.
I actually got captures of this same aircraft three times in less than six weeks. I caught it landing at Travis (KSUU), here at KRNO, and also at its home base (KTCM). I decided to post this snap of it because in this instance I was actually on the airport grounds so it passed over me very low.
And Cliff, I'm away again this week on two single-day, out-and-back "banzai" photo trips, and then I'm away on a week-long spotting trip, but after that, I'll finally have time to start sending along a bunch of excellent snaps. So around about Oct 10th, be expecting email pics to begin arriving. Only a couple a day so as not to overfill your mailbox. (Thumbs Up)
