Well I pulled into IFP today, 3 days of driving. I actually had to divert south in PA to get away from some rain and took I79 south through WV. I actually drove through that county where the miners were trapped. I must have missed the explosion by an hour. I stopped in Bowling Green and slept. I pulled into Amarillo and checked in to a motel 6 the second night and planned to shoot at AMA early the next morning. Garri told me the sun would be up by 6:30 (she lives in AMA) I wanted to shoot that 727 that's sitting there and any other plane I could before I had to hit the road. Well Garri was way off! I left Amarillo at 7:30 and it was still dark. I shot this out my car as I high tailed it west on I40. BTW these pics suck cause I shot them out my car and did not edit them.

I got into NM and put the cruise on 90. The landscape is so beautiful. Look close and notice the 75MPH speed limit, we need that in NY!

AZ is also beautiful, I was about 20 mins from getting into Flagstaff here.

After making great time I pulled into IFP. The new terminal seemed like it was close to done, my friend Terri must have left early because the office was locked but some girl working the rent a car desk said it was open. I shot this pic on my out. A G4 bird was sitting on the tarmac.

The pic sucks but I was in a rush to get my first stop on the NV side of the river! This one is for Tommy!

All in all it was a fun trip, my spotting at AMA went out the window but that's ok. SCX has added a flight here in the morning, it's 8 something so I am not sure the sun will be good. If I can get up that early I may go over. I need a SCX/Transavia hybrid shot with the new winglets at IFP.
