Monday afternoon Justin Cederholm, a local spotting buddy confirmed the plane was coming back for a 2nd visit that day. Tried to give him advance notice from miles out but it ended up landing on the opposite runway too far away so he missed it. I then went to the airport myself for the departure, as we hunted it from different spots (his shot is on JP and A.net)

Low light and having no IS made it tricky (adrenaline helped also). Half of the 6 shots were too blurry

Suddenly appearing behind the trees, either the camera didn't have time to focus or I was shaking too much (or both) :mrgreen:

Thanks Matt. Alright at least ONE person found this brand new special scheme interesting!...

Just in case, only pics around are my friend's shot the same day and a sneak peak in bad weather somewhere.

Thanks Tom! glad you guys caught the 707 (wanna trade? :mrgreen: ) The scheme is basically the same as Falcons One just diff. colors but it's colorful and that's good, no all-white fuselage here.

Having noticed that any gray military plane, warbird or generic bizjet seems to spark more interest I'll probably just keep my stuff to myself next time like I usually do :wink:

Also VERY similar colors to a certain Milwaukee-based airline that will soon disappear.

I was wondering if that was coincidence? Nice touch by AirTran if done on purpose.. but why would they paint a plane to resemble Midwest? I see Frontier doing it but not AirTran.
