KBOS 11/5/2011

I headed up to KBOS on Saturday to meet up with Rich and Gene to do some spotting. I gotta say it was a pleasure to finally meet you too. Had a great time spending the day up there hanging out and catching some great views of Logan International And a great Pastrami sandwich too.....

On to the planes...

Rich B

dude that DC10 depaaaaaaahture shot is BADASS!!!!! was boston john on frequency? Looks like some sweet distortion off the right wingtip too.

Thanks guys. Rich, nice shots on Flickr.

And Rich, I think I may take a trip to Boston just to go to Royal!

Amazing angles Steve. The FE take off is just ridiculous!

Thanks Kenny. There are some awesome angles up at KBOS to be gotten. The only problem I had was a lot of heat shimmer which reduced the amount of good angles by about 50%. I have a lot of shots I took that I scrapped because of this. Oh well, I still had a great time and got a bunch of good shots!

Hey Steve, great finally meeting you as well and what great shots especially the Frontier 319!
Gene

Gene it was great to finally meet you as well. Will definitely have to head up that way again soon. And thanks for your kind words.
