I finally caught this beauty! And again, totally by accident. I had the day off yesterday as I had some personal errands to take care of as well as Parent Teacher meeting etc. In the middle of the day I had a big gap so I decided I would go and try to catch a few shots of the Emirates A380 taxiing. When I got there, winds were gusting at 35knots! Anyway, I was totally surprised to find the TAM parked on the ramp. It was in a tough spot but I got lucky when they moved her to my favorite gate :cool:

I had to leave at 3ish so I could not stay to catch her in flight. Did anyone catch her leaving? Mark!! ??? That's your specialty... lol
I also learned another lesson... DO NOT miss an opportunity. I shot this guy coming in far away just to zoom in and identify. On the viewfinder all I saw was Turkish air and ignored it. Then at home I realized it was a special :mad: Taken at 200mm on a full frame sensor. Not very croppable at 12MP either... she was about 1 mile out
