    Nice shots. No one invited me out. :( I sat at home all day bored out of my mind.
    It's hard to take chances but sometimes it's better if you do

    Whoa! Where the heck were the first two shot from? I've been looking for a decent Rwy 13 spot.

    Nice catch on the Kuwaiti, Mark.

    TJ, there isn't a spot for 13R other than Bayswater in the afternoon for departures.

    Those are awesome photos. I'm going to have to try there for the 13s. Thanks.

    Only 13R departures from Bayswater... for arrivals, you may take a chance somewhere along the approach path but the angles will be tough. For 13L approaches, they share the same path as 13R until the very last mile where they split up. For 13L departures, well, there aren't many and usually 13R has to be either closed or some other miracle. I have seen it but it is rare.

    That is a really gorgeous G5.
