Having to wait while "Emilee" was pushed back meant that I was unable to get between the parallel runways in time to get captures of it taking off from that viewpoint, so my departure snaps of this one taking off on 16R had to be clicked from this perimeter road. After "Emilee" took off, permission was received from the tower to move down between 16R and 16L and set up my photo position next to the ILS equipment in the NTZ.

Gary... that's another 100% solid photo capture!

Thanks for sharing this one with us and the "backstory" too!!!

TYVM again, Cliff. And also, on Tuesday I had said I was going to post two pics on Wednesday, but I only posted the one very early yesterday AM. I was hosting a visiting spotter and our day was super ... and it stretched out into some evening spotting too. Most around here want to run home if it is too hot, too cold, too dark, too windy, too wet, too far to walk, too early, blah, blah, etc., etc, so it was great meeting someone who doesn't care about any of that and just wants to do aviation photography no matter what. So I'll do two posts today, this one and one more. And while I'm on, I want to wish you, my other FA friends, everyone at FA, and all FA members an enjoyable ... and SAFE ... Fourth of July holiday. GBA!

Gary, you're very welcome and thanks again for your good words.

Not to worry on Wednesday's photo "count"... one quality photo capture is worth more than a dozen mediocre photos uploaded... :-)

I hope You and yours enjoy a most memorable and safe 4th of July holiday too!
