[jerslice]

Bored again - and sort of wishing I shot more than planes sometimes. I need to do more non-aviation shooting.

Digging up some "older" shots today too:

JFK 8/08








BFI


SEA (me on a Virgin A320)


ORH

[Planesntrains]

Great shot of the Blue-T. Good stuff!

It's true, I've been turned down only once that I can remember in the past 4 years - by a US EMB170 captain on a PVD-PHL run in Oct. 08. Other than that, every time I've asked, I've gotten the access and the shots.
