Sure, it's a scheduled flight, but I'll be leaving Albany for the summer.

She seems to be trying to elude me. During my first attempt she flew right over my car on approach.

The second time it was completely sunny as I left for the airport, but right next to the airport I hit a wall of fog. RVR was less than 1000, and FDX1570 diverted to SYR.

Today, being my last day in Albany I was determined to get this flight.

Finally grabbed her on my Fuji F10.

Backlit and a bit grainy, but the sound of reverse thrust on those JT8D's made it all worth it.

Yes, I too covet the elusive 727 shot at ALB. Summer is the only time that you can get it. It is tough battling the fog though. Nice attempt!
