    IAD-12/20/2013 (Image Heavy)

    Hello All,

    Finally getting around to posting my final spotting outing from 2013. Sadly the weather did not play ball throughout the 3 days I was at IAD, and I only spent the morning of Friday the 20th spotting, opting instead to do other things in DC rather than take clouded-out photos. So, I hope you can pardon the image quality, it was beyond dark that morning with the clouds and low sun, but I think I managed to salvage a few semi-decent images.







    It was the morning of the A310 at IAD due to the Christmas rush




















    A highlight, my first UPS 757







    And the day's real gem, a Luftwaffe Transall C-160. He sat at Cargo 6 with the engine running for over an hour before finally taxiing, I had begun to lose hope. But thankfully he taxied by, and away he went.




    2013 was a great year of spotting, and here's to hoping that 2014 is just as good! Thanks for checking 'em out.


    Nick

    Great set.

    Did you take these from a parking garage?

    Nice shots given the conditions and nice C-160 catch. The ETH 777 touch-down shot is awesome!
