Catch of the Year!

[NLovis]

Id say this is my catch of the year

[jerslice]

Ive been spotting all over this year with over 500 photos this year alone (not counting the 100+ i have to sort when i get back to NY)

Generally I've been keep it around 300-500, with airshows maybe, maybe getting up around 1,000 - I'm way less trigger happy than I used to be. (Look at my myaviation account with 5000+ photos - 2500 of which (at least) look oddly like the one before it). Once I realized I could trust my gear to pull another "W" into the right column I didn't feel the need to spray as much anymore. But always pray :-)

First time seeing an SP or catching a Saudi - I'd say it ties with the L-1011

Nice shot Jeremy!

when were you at IAD?

i was just spotting there today- the photo looks familiar:)

when were you at IAD?

My wife and I were there for about 2.5 hours yesterday on a stopover on the way Seattle to Boston. I had to find my way over to terminal A from D which it turns out is a challenge when you don't know your way around (I used to live in DC but always flew out of DCA & BWI).

On a separate level that most of you probably won't care about, it was great to actually be sort of successful spotting IAD. I visited 3 times during my time in DC (no car made it super hard to get there from the city proper) and each time was a dismal failure.

Great catch Jeremy! Glad you didn't miss your flight to BOS to catch it. :)

What was the other Saudi plane behind the SP?

Ah okay Jeremy..

Yeah it was alright for spotting- I spotted from the daily carparks.
Unfortunately runway 1/30 was I'n use so missed the international traffic besides ual!
