Well John Klos is officially the new good luck charm! I would love him to fly out here every week because after a gloomy day Saturday, Sunday was a day we dream about. Myself and John Klos took Dave Budd out too dinner the night before and we discussed how the winds may give us the elusive runway 1 configuration LAS spotters hope for because of the hotet backdrop you can get departures with and the perfect light. When I got up I was listening to liveatc.net and thought I wasn't the most coherent it sounded like the normal 25 stuff. As I got in my car in and pulled on to LVB John Klos called and gave me the news that our prayers were answered and that the 1s was in use. I pulled into a Jack in the Box to grab some food and found John waiting on Sunset and we sped over to the parking garage where Dave was in place and enjoyed some of the greatest shooting you can have. Perfect sun and subjects rotating right in front of you. It was a nice experience. I then was blessed with Shamu landing. She has been on my list forever and though she took forever to turnaround the light was still cooperating and we got her leaving. Afterwards we introduced John to IN-N-OUT burger for lunch and then went to the viewing area for afternoon shooting and once again were blessed with a C-5 Galaxy landing. Couldn't see what came out as her cargo though. Here are some shots from the day.
