    I was in the car right next to Conrad, I saw you drive by a couple times.

    Mark, it looks like BAW 747 was the only that delivered a decent position for a great shot. Although I like the way the Evergreen came out :-)

    I hope tomorrow's weather predictions are wrong... light today was simply amazing as was air quality!

    Thanks Manny! I actually like the way the Evergreen came even though it was back lite. I did some post processing to cleanup the EV image and give it some better lighting. The Evergreen rotated and banked early. On the otherhand the only thing I like about the FedEx was the way the wing was luminated. I only hung around till about 10:30-ish before I had to leave.

    I hear you Mark. I have many shots in my personal collection of HoBe throwaways because I like a reflector or an angle that would never be liked in the wild :-) I was at 31L spots by around 12:00pm and had to leave before 3:00 because my commute is so long. I stuck around until 3:40p and paid the price for it. Ten minutes to JFK Cargo Area on Rockaway Blvd, then 30 minutes on the Van Wyck - Grand Central. It ws bad... from there, another 10 getting through the GWB exit on I-87 and then flew home from that point. By that time my wife was waiting behind the oor with a rolling pin LOL. Seriously we had dinner plans with friends and we are usually on-time! So I probably got a few points deducted today and likely won;t be allowed to play with the other children for a few weeks.

    Hiss Srq.....just like when ships enter the harbor a pilot gets on board and helps navigate the ship through the harbor, maybe the Kuwaities need a pilot to get on board as well to help navigate in and around the ramp. :)

    I can help the Port with that job, and I'll take rights to photograph from the ramp as payment
