Greetings,
Flew to DXR today to get some shots of the final to runway 35 at Danbury, CT (DXR). A while back I flew this amazing approach between two FootHills or small mountains that rise on both side of the approach to runway 35 at DXR. I was happy to get back there again to get some pix this time. Unfortunatly I forgot to take into account the time of day and the shadow the mountain would cast on itself.
I usually don't shoot much when I fly but I have started doing it more often now.

Heres a few shots from today.

Hi shots, Senga! I used to be based out of DXR for a while, and it is an interesting airport as captured by your pictures.

Where do you fly out of? I only ask because I recognize the aircraft you were flying as possibly a Panorama Flight School aircraft (Dual KX 155-As, KLN-94, KMD 550 MFD)? I recently solo'd (http://www.pilotsofamerica.com/forum/showthread.php?t=10797) yesterday out of HPN in N5286C, which was a pretty awesome thrill.

Fly safe and will listen for you on the frequency,

Thanks guys,

I think I do see the school. I always like to see places I have been from above.

Ron, Yes can you belive it? I actually managed to take a picture when the sun was visible! I still can belive it.

Jason,
I am based out of HPN also. And yes, it is a PFS aircraft :) I rent from them. Good eyes good eyes!
I was going to fly yesterday and book N5286C but I see why I couldn't! LOL Was that for first solo?

I added 2 more pix to the set

Most likely, Senga. I booked the plane from 8am-12pm and flew with Richard from 8-10am, and went solo afterwards.

See you around the airport.

I have talked to Richard on the phone but never met him before.
I think I saw your name on the schedule.
I'm sure we will be at the FBO at the same time sone of these days.

Senga I slept most of the day today and now I'm catching up. Just wait for shots from Kingman - oh wait, do you want heart attack? If not viewer discretion is advised (TWA L1011s) :)

Hi Senga,

I went on the schedule the day you posted the pictures and found out on my own it was 53524. :lol:

Anyhow, Signature doesn't have an FBO in DXR. You may have been thinking of Relient or Executive.
