Nice shots guys. What's the deal with no one being up on the mounds?

Some of us was at the mounds alright,

Well going up on the actual mounds, shooting is a bit difficult/obstructed due to Trees...

[JerseyFlyer4]

Haha was I the only one who has sun burn on the back of my legs from standing on the mounds?

But I can't complain about today, the weather was perfect :lol:

[moose135]

Great seeing everyone today - the beautiful weather got a big crowd out.

I've caught the QANTAS One World, but another first for me...

Some of the group braved the weeds and ticks to go up on the mounds - this is the only shot of Kenny I can publish on this site :shock:

But Eric found a more relaxing place to shoot from :D

Damn..I'm so envious of you guys - great shots - looks like a perfect afternoon - while we were sitting in thunder and rain in South Florida.. :(

Too bad we didn't get to enjoy all of it. Tower did a 180 runway flip as soon as about half the group (including myself) showed up at Firestone, going from the 31s to 13/22. We eventually went over to the Mounds, until they decided to go to just the 13s, despite the 14 knot direct crosswind.

Still, it was good to be out again and to see everyone, and even if we missed a bunch of stuff we did still manage to catch Star Alliance, Skyteam, and OneWorld birds.

[planelove]

It was really great to meet you guys. I hope to join you guys again soon.

Nathan.

Great shots and great get-together. Feels like UN weekend already!

[lijk604]

Hell why bother posting my shots....everyone covered the good stuff already. LOL!!! Actually, I'm just lazy and have not edited them yet. Got home way too sunburnt, so last thing I wanted was to sit in front of the computer all night. In due time...

All in all, it was a good day...would have been great if we could have figured out why the tower was hell bent on using the 13's with the winds blowing 210@14. But...I guess they needed some crosswind action for their tower shooters. ;) It was good seeing the old faces and meeting some new ones. Til next time.

[flyboy 28]

this is the only shot of Kenny I can publish on this site

Now I'm curious. :lol:

Think "full moon" over the mounds. :lol:

[MarkLawrence]

Ahhhh...Kenny being...Kenny...LOL...

Till next time.

[PhilDernerJr]

Good stuff, guys. Glad so many got to capitalize on the great weather.

The SkyTeam scheme finally makes Air France look good!

[Matt Molnar]

So many A330s nowadays!
