    STUNNING Photo From LAS

    It's not often that I post an aircraft photo from a non-NYCA'er or someone I don't know, but it's not often that I see a photo that makes me say "holy $#@&!" This one did, click it for full effect:

    Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem.
    All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control.

    I agree, awesome shot.

    I saw it in the top 24 hrs photos at a.net and clicked on it. I was guessing that it was Chad Thomas even before I could scroll down and see. With that angle and closeup - it had to be with major telephoto.

    Chad is one of the few that I'm aware of that regularly use the 500. He gets some great shots.

    That Delta is stunning and so sweet to see.

    Almost brings a nostaliga to my eye.

    I notice it is an ex TW Bird, N704. Been on that plane a couple of times!
