Having seen this thread...I think I will exercise my professional discretion and not compete with these shots so as to not look a fool, awesome work guys!

Come on, Nick, you certainly have shots worth posting here!

Some of my more memorable shots. Loads of new "Garbage" for the year. I will omit most of that in favor of more rares and unique aircraft.
Another slow and another frustrating year for me. The best catch for me (after 10years if trying) was the Open Skies TU-154. Definitely my shot of the year. The Gambia IL-62 is NOT new however the livery is different that the one I already had. Took a flight down to MIA to shoot the Congo 707 ONLY to to have it show up at JFK a few months later...talk about demoralizing.
