KBDL 2/24/2013 - New AA Livery

Despite the weather conditions I headed to BDL for some afternoon spotting to try out a new "morning spot" since it was overcast and I didn't have to worry about shots being backlit.

Not much traffic, or at least not much exciting traffic. Except for a pleasant surprise at the end of the day.

Was not expecting this girl since N908NN was headed elsewhere. This is supposedly the second painted 737-800 in the new AA livery, N803NN, on it's first revenue flight after leaving the paint shop at Roswell on Saturday.

Great capture of that new girl on the block! Did you have to shoot over a fence from your truck?

Great shots Steve, despite the overcast

Nice!!! Glad to see more American with the new colors emerging...

You did great considering the conditions ... Nice job my friend !

Overcast days can be very forgiving with backlit situations. Looks like you made the best of them.
Hmmm, a Compass bird with a 7xx registration...they must be getting some new ones.

Nice shots Steve despite the weather...

Nice set Steve! If and when I am in the area I will definitely contact you for some spotting.

Thanks for all your kind words guys. I truly appreciate them.

Don, yes i was shooting from on top of the bed rails on my truck. This weekend i'll be putting my spotting platform back on so i dont have to balance and i can use my step stool as well to get about 10 more inches of clearance over the fence.
