    Bunch of Old Spotting Photos

    I was looking through my dad's old hard drive for photos of my dog and came across a bunch of old spotting photos from JFK and even from my trip to LAX of which I thought I had lost!

    Hope you enjoy!

    Airports are JFK, LAX, AMS, MAD, and SJU.

    Photos are in no particular order but the locations are pretty easy to tell. The reason why that blury Iberia A340-600 is in the batch is because it was my first ecnounter with the beast.

    Those are some nice shots. :)

    I really miss spotting from Customs. You get there early in the right time of yer and it doesn't get much better.

    Thanks for sharing!

    the 2 shots of the 744s rolling out are pretty cool, notice all the dust getting kicked up by the reversers.
    it is mathematically impossible for either hummingbirds, or helicopters to fly. fortunately, neither are aware of this.

    You know, I love these pics. It's nice to see a variety of photos and I love seeing the content regardless of the clarity or the conditions. Thanks for sharing.
    Where was PHKCF taken? That is 3 holer heaven! I love it!
    And I, I took the path less traveled by
    and that has made all the difference......yet...
    I have a feeling a handle of people are going to be very interested in what I post in the near future.

    Amsterdam of course! Unfortunatley Schipol isn't as much as a 3 holer heaven as it was four years ago when the photo was taken. :(

    I sure do miss customs to!

    I'm gonna add some old stuff from my collection to this post :) Recently I scanned some old stuff from DCA, BWI and IAD. Pictures from the mid and late 90s. All are scans from prints.




























    Take care,R
