Alright, it had been a month since I had last shot anything new to post here on NYC, so a trip to my stomping grounds up north was in order. The weather was favorable, the traffic interesting, and the company pleasant. What more can a guy ask for? As I'm using a recently calibrated lens, and a new workflow, any critique's would be awesome!
I started my day early (2AM) and ended it late (11PM); so at 21 hours I believe this counts as my longest day "in the field"
Anyhow, I decided to try and capture the beauty of Dulles' iconic Terminal Building at night. The coming sunrise helps to do her justice.

The next two were taken ISO 2000 at 1/40 and cleaned up quite heavily. That being said, both were new type/airline combos for me. And they didn't come out halfway bad for being taken 25+ minutes before sunrise...

United kindly sent us a 767-300ER and a 757-300 during the morning's finest light.

No clue what it is, but its avoided me since September.

This is the day's mystery happening. This A310 put the main gear down several thousand feet back on the runway, and while rolling out, suddenly smoked the crap out of the right mains. No audible sound to indicate tire burst. Stuck break perhaps? They did seem to inspect the gear before he left a bit later...

Battleship Grey is getting so hard to come by these days...

The United 777 pilots now how to treat a photographer to a nice wing dip...

Finally, a different Austrian 767. I was beginning to think they only had one.

KLM's newest type, the A330-300, only delivered a few months back. Named "New York"

This plane doesn't rotate, it allows for Earth's natural curvature and rotation to separate it from the runway. It is a rather slow climb.
