This is what happens when I don't edit in order, I end up forgetting about spotting trips, like most of my time in Jan Juan :cool:.
For anyone who hasn't been, its a great airport to shoot at. Interesting traffic, if a little biased towards the little stuff. Mornings are better than afternoons, especially in the winter.
Now for some pics! This is a motley bunch of shots from throughout the latter portion of November.

US Airways sends a fair amount of heavy metal to TJSJ. The final day I was there it included 2 767s, 1A330, and 3 757s, in addition to some A320 family members.

A 100% magnification of this photo reveals what seems to be a cracked windscreen closest to the camera in the cockpit.

A black Gulfstream with a Tuskegee Airmen P-51 in the tail gets my vote!

Iberia only landed on the close runway one day I was there. Fortunately I was ready for it!

Not the best edit ever, but the light was super harsh that day- My first 727. Only took me 18 months of trying!
