I haven't seen a dual approach in awhile. (27R and L)

That Dornier is a great catch. Good stuff.

That first shot with the simultanious approaches reminds me of SFO.
Nice job with all of them!

Sweet captures! Keep up the great work!

As I'm not an expert on 737. Is that the way the door handle is supposed to be on the SWA ??? Just doesn't look right.. Thanks

[PhilDernerJr]

That does happen on occasion. The passenger rep that closed the door didn't do it properly. There's not negative effect from at all though. I am surprised that the wind didn't straighten it out in-flight though.

No, it doesn't look right - couple of photos I have of 737s show it horizontal, stowed in that inset area.

Sweet side by side, over under US shot!
