Similar to TJK's 'spotting from home' thread is this one, shots taken from my balcony with a great view of 27R approaches into Philly using a Sigma 150-500mm(one reason I bought it for) and cleaned up as best I can. Not trying for anet standards here, just enjoying the convenience of editing shots within minutes of taking them.
We get some interesting traffic in here at times, like the Super Guppy, 787, FAA Convair 580, An-124's, F-18's, C-130's, and C-17's as well as AF1. Planes are pretty much on finals or turning onto finals when they pass over, some lower than normal which makes for great shots(if I'm in position). My house also seems to be under some helo routes which is a bonus. Not as close as being on Hog Island Rd of course but saves the $5 toll to get over to PHL haha. Mark let me know when I can borrow that 500mm from you for a little bit
Some from the last few days to start:
UAE C-17, although you can barely make that out due to the heat and the angle
these are from this morning, lighting/sun angle was crap:
And finally, one I've been after for a while now- callsign is "Cappy":
