Phoenix 12-16-2012 (Nice an sunny and not just Sky Harbor)

[steve1840]

After the soaker we had on Saturday the sunshine was definitely a welcome change today. I didn't get in much spotting today since I was off photographing the Apache Trail, but I did manage to get some good shots in today.

And on to the "other" aviation photography I was doing today. I had been wanting to get out to this location for a while now and never was able to. Thanks to my friend Jared out here, I was able to go this trip. Definitely lovin editing these photos.

Above exceptional to all the pictures. Though my personal favorites are the boneyard sightings. :biggrin:

Quick question, yesterday I saw the US Air aircraft that is in the Arizona Cardinals livery parked at a gate!! Saw it the last time I was in PHX a month ago departing. Is that aircraft used by the team, regular flights or both? Cardinals were at home yeserday also.

[eric8669]

Great set Steve.... I have to get out to PHX again at some point.

[megatop412]

Man, they need to send those AW legacy paints to Philly!

Great job Steve, it must have been like being in a time machine standing next to those old hulks in the desert, where they've been to, and thinking about all the people who flew on them

[steve1840]

Thanks Guys!

Gerard-the cardinals logo plane is not used by the team. Generally the team charters a United 764 like the Lions had in town with them for the game this weekend.

William - standing next to those relics was amazing but not nearly as amazing as climbing in one and making my way to the cockpit :cool:

Cool thank you!!

Oh and one more question for you PHX guys...is there a power plant NW of Phoenix? As we were banking for a turnout to the east I saw three plumes of steam/smoke rising up from that area!! Thanks.
