Happy Memorial Day from cloudy/windy Minneapolis.

Had the day off, so my son and I met up with another spotter and got the heavies that arrive when we are usually working.

Nice set. Where are these shots from? I'm weather permitting going to head up to MSP in a couple weeks for a day of Delta spotting.

Doug;

The location is just east of Taft Park in Richfield, MN. Great location from about noon until sunset for 12R arrivals. A 70-200 will suit you perfectly at this location. An occasional Richfield or State Police might stop by, but have ID, answer all their questions and there is no problem spotting there!

Give me a call/PM when your plans firm up and perhaps we can meet up.
