ADW spotting on the Ides of March--IMAGE HEAVY

[megatop412]

As Fasil mentioned in his Washington thread we met up to shoot some Andrews AFB action on Friday. They were shooting the 19's, and the clouds that prevailed up north actually broke for us, and there was excellent light later in the afternoon. Which was perfect, as we were treated to an assortment of military traffic including POTUS. Unfortunately, my classic bad timing kicked in and I left to find a restroom- and in that time I missed an EA-6 Growler- a nice one with a painting of Darth Vader on it. I should be getting used to this by now. The heat haze was also especially notorious.

Anyways, thanks to Fasil and Rafael for showing me around down there!

William you did bring luck with you on this day as it was very productive. The sequestration is in full swing at Andrews.

Thanks guys....2013 may not end up as epic in terms of spotting as 2012 was(Space Shuttles, 787, UN Week with the Tu-154) but it sure got off to a nice start
