Amazing angles Steve. The FE take off is just ridiculous!

Thanks Kenny. There are some awesome angles up at KBOS to be gotten. The only problem I had was a lot of heat shimmer which reduced the amount of good angles by about 50%. I have a lot of shots I took that I scrapped because of this. Oh well, I still had a great time and got a bunch of good shots!
