Today I went to Datona Beach (DAB) for the first time. I went to get some shots of the NOAA WP-3D Orion that arrived there at around 9am this morning.
I have been wanting to get shots of this aircraft for years and am glad that I finally had a chance. I was not aware that there was a tour going on until I turn in my scanner to NOAA to get an update on the fires in the area. When I arrived ar DAB I noticed that any kind of decent shot was plauged with humans gathering around the aicraft. In the long run a few min photoshoot turned into a 5 hour long wait for them to clear the "CRAP" from around the plane so I could get some clean shots.
Anyway heres the trip pix
Taxiing to runway 7L after the tour.
