[deltaA330]

Thanks Markus!

[Jared Blech]

Outstanding set! I absolutely love that last QATAR shot!

[deltaA330]

I really like my new body's ISO performance vs my old one, makes shots like those somewhat doable!

[steve1840]

Excellent set(s) of images! Those are definitely some killer spotting locations!

[deltaA330]

It doesn't get much better than being right next to the runway!

[steve1840]

I'm planning a trip out there in Oct. I might have to have you meet me up there and show me some of these spots.

[JDANDO]

Good stuff Alex. I need to get to ORD for some serious spotting. It is on the short list for 2014.
