So... randomly I went to PTK with a friend this weekend. I was surprised how busy it was. PTK is Pontiac airport, probably the largest General aviation only airport in Michigan. Lots of business jets! I also got to fly an interesting airplane, but that is for another thread.

Unfortunately, for most shots, I forgot to get my camera out of ISO 800... :(

Here are a few shots:

Very nice shots there, Matt. Your camera did very well with the high ISO in terms of not much grain!

Did you happen to see this A319 there? Its owned by Daimler Chrysler and flies about every other day to and from EDDS.

Yeah, I know about the DC A319, it wasn't there. They did build a one gate terminal there for it, its pretty strange. I have pictures of it if you would like.

EDIT: actually, found it on Google Earth, with the 319 attached!
