Hey Guys,
After something of a hiatus these past few months, I am back! While I still have a backlog of photos to handle from my last few days living in Dallas, I thought I would start with 4 quick photos from my time back here in Virginia. In the leadup to this year's UNGA I decided to try my hand at finally catching an Air China 747-400 when Xi Jinping made his state visit to Washington DC. Sadly, having never been there before, and because I was required to lay low to not attract attention, I misjudged my location and wound up UNDER the plane. Oh well, I can still count this right?

As for Richmond, my home airport, not much of note ever really comes in, and I hadn't been over with a camera since January of 2014 when I was run off by a rent-a-cop who stated that the "FFA" has banned photography at airports. However, as a 737 Classic fan, I was seduced by the prospect of shooting a new livery and braved the tedium for a chance at a shot, Luck was on my side, with 1 runway closed and a strange southerly wind that was not forecasted, delivering me arrivals on runway 20.
