Good seeing you guys today. Sorry to shoot and run but I had a baseball game to get to.

It's hard to take chances but sometimes it's better if you do

Sorry I missed the event, but it looks like you guys did a great job catching LOT! Pictures look great
The anti collision beacons on the 787 use LEDs for the light, rather than traditional strobes, so they do have different characteristics than strobes.Originally Posted by Aviation.High.Guy

They don't rotate like the beacon strobes, as Moose pointed out, but rather pulsate. The average "strobe" if you will is substantially longer than a traditional beacon...so catching the blinking beacon isn't too much of a challenge with the Dreamliner. It's easily timeable once you know about it!Thanks. I also caught the red beacon in multiple exposures yesterday and today. Got me wondering if the 787 strobes are firing at a faster rate, or if it was just luck.
My 6-2-13 787 Arrival catches, along with a few bonuses. I think Eric and Don are my unofficial spotting good luck charms as I'd never gotten the KAC 777 or the Royal Jordanian before.

Hey TJ- It sure was one of the most rewarding half hours I have ever spent at the mounds. Good meeting you. See you again sometime.
