LGA 4/18

[PhilDernerJr]

Matt called me and said he was headed to the marina and I had just enough time to join him. The late light was gorgeous, but we were battling many clouds that made it difficult to get planes that were lit up. The more it set, the more I had to tweak my settings and many shots still came out blurred. But it was still a great time.

Scary clouds...

I didn't even realize this was the yellow ribbon until I edited it.

The last plane we shot before leaving. From a distance I thought it was a Shamu, but I'd actually prefer this. The color scheme makes it like a more modern Trump plane to me.

"Hope" title of some sort near the nose.

No sun on it but the 400th E-Jet titles look nice.

Thanks guys!

[Mayi757]

Beautiful light. Especially love clouds on the DL 75 and the bank angle on AA MD80.

[PhilDernerJr]

Gothamist used one of Matt's photos from yesterday!! http://gothamist.com/2010/04/19/extra_extra_1585.php

Congrats man!

[Matt Molnar]

w00t thanks.

I was too tired to label any of those last night. Ooops.

Re: the photo of the water spraying was a tiny waterspout/cyclone thing that formed. It kept going for about 30 seconds until it moved onto the shore. It was a little breezy yesterday but nothing crazy.

Also, there was yellow schmutz all over the USEX CRJ in the last pic. Is that what it looks like when the paint peels on a CRJ or did someone pee on it?

[cowens727]

It looks like someone puked on that US Airways Express CRJ...Great shots guys!

[NLovis]

Thats what happens when you dont take care of you planes. They bite back at you. That US CRJ looks horrible. If I was a new person looking for a flight I would stay away from US. If the outside looks bad so does the inside. Let me see what United has to offer :mrgreen:
