The Weather channel said the sun would be out so I headed up to IGM. I only had the morning since it was championship day in the NFL. Well I got there at 8am and was met with nothing but clouds. :x I drove to my favorite spot and noticed they moved the TWA tristar (N15017, I think this regi has been reassigned) to the other end where the other one is (N31023) While I was driving I saw something new.

It was great to see, the regi is N870TV and is actually still valid.

While driving to another good spot I shot it from the other side. You can see the DHL 727s behind it.

I sat in the car and waited to see if the sun would come out, no luck. While waiting I shot the Kitty 722 (N901RF)

The sky was horrible so I headed for Route 66 to leave and saw they cleaned up around the EAL Jetstream fuselage I shot last year, so i took a quick one for the road.

That eastern shot is worth an upload to jp (meaning it has a fraction of a chance)

Nahh, too dark. Just shot it for you guys, especially Fred. He would appreciate it. There is also a museum there. Going to take that in next time too.

I just clicked it and it worked. If it doesn't work for you put in N400MX in the search box.

I think you should get a Canon quick....everyone knows that it is the
camera.

I really liked the shot of the Eastern carcass. Did you get any of the TWA
for me? That is one that I can never get!

I hope you get some better light, a rent a car.... 2 days and a Tuscon trip
going soon. That should surely be the highlight of you adventure. I
never thought it was possible to get so close to the aircraft there. Did
you walk along the fence? and most important...can you share a few
more??? those were sweet!.

I got my car with me Fred. I am considering a drive down to PHX, so If I do that I will go down to Tuscon too. Right now I am planning a trip to Area 51 for early Feb so I am not sure. I am hoping for the sun this Thursday to return to IGM so I will get you more pictures.
