Got some more shots yesterday. Crosswind made for some interesting approaches.

Nice shots Eddie. A lot of well known photogs are in town this weekend for the annual slidefest, bascially a small convention of airliner slide collectors/traders/photogs. Did you meet any of them at the holes ?

Cheers

Very excellent shots man!

MIA is always a nice place to spot to get the Latin America planes.

I noticed a few special stickets and schemes too. Good catch!

What is that sticker on the AA bird? The 738.

Look it up Man ;)

The sticker represents the "Working Together, Wining Together" Logo.

I was there with Eddie that day and while the approcahes werent out of this world tricky they were no where near normal. The low around Florida this past weekend shifted the winds to North (340/350 at 15-20kts) and when MIA only basically has East/West Runways it made for some interesting approaches. The Shuttle American E-Jet was one of the more eye openers! Pics to follow eventually....
