Yes it has returned and my camera will be coming with me to work tomorrow, hopefully it will still be there! I've wanted a picture of this classic for the longest time.

Here are some shots from today. I only had my P/S camera so the quality may not be that good.

Fred called me as he passed on his way to work, so I headed on down. Just as I pulled in to the lot at Sheltair, the sun came out, directly behind her. Saw she was buttoned up with the engines running, so I ran around to the terminal lot, pulling in just as she was taking the active for a 32 departure. Of course, just as she did, the sun went back behind the clouds :(

Tommy, haven't I taught you anything? When you work 3 blocks from FRG, you always keep the camera in the car!

Nope, you have more than 150 posts, you are no longer a newbie.
30 cracks over the head with the wave in wands! j/k
I worked @ FRG for 4 years and often left the camera at home.
It took the last 6 months I was there to learn.

BTW, nice catch Moose! The dark clouds behind it really make it jump.

moose, i love your shots! especially the sharp contrast between the light colors on the fuselage and the dark surrouning it! great IMO!!

[LGA777]

I concure Moose, love those shots in unique and challeging light, you did great !

Now do any of you remember some short lived DC-9-10 passenger service at ISP in the mid 80's ? Here's is a clue, it was sub-service for an at the time significant ISP carrier ?

Cheers

Moose, those are AWESOME captures! Kudos!


Ron, I'll guess....Mohawk? :oops:

Mario, Mohawk operated the BAC-1-11 and ceased to exist in 1968. This was in 1984. Try again Doctor.

Moose, Did you photoshop that sky? :twisted: :borat:

Outstanding! You really nailed that one :borat:

[Chris102]

Great shots Moose! :borat:

One of the USA Jet DC-9-15's was at AVP this summer - I couldn't get a good shot of it because of the heat haze :evil:
