Airport pics

m4a1mustang · 06-21-2009, 08:57 AM

Was out in Crystal City yesterday and decided to stop at Reagan to take some pics of the planes coming in. Kind of a hazy day and these pics are unedited, but it was fun. Also some guys spent about 5 minutes checking out the Z as I was off about 150 meters away shooting.

Sometimes the planes take off headed in my direction, but that wasn't the case while I was there. Hopefully I will be able to get some front-on takeoff shots in the future.

Nice. Always good to see them landing. The taking off is the easy part.

Love the guys checking out the Z. Hilarious!

Pilot?

Only a passenger here but I loved taking off towards DC because of the steep climb and left bank.

Love the pics. I'm a corporate pilot and it's been years since I've been into Reagan. Just got back from Fresno and Vegas. Great day except I get back and its raining and I have the 370 in the hanger and of course I just washed it yesterday. I hate how a clean black car makes it rain everytime.

Cool! Any ATC feedback? I'm terminal only, tower and approach/departure control.

I LOVE that picture of the everyone looking @ the Z.

My brothers a pilot to I should send him over some pictures

Pushing_Tin · 06-21-2009, 05:17 PM

Nice pics! I'm lucky enough to see them every day!

m4a1mustang · 06-21-2009, 08:17 PM

Much respect for you pilots!

I really like Reagan. Watching the planes land looked like it was one of the more challenging approaches... not a typical straight shot.

Anyone ever flown into the tiny Airport in Salem, Oregon? If so you've probably come close to clipping my house. I have planes go over all the time and i always feel like ducking just in case because of how low they are in their descent.

I hear Reagan is one of the toughest places to land. I always love flying into that airport. Because of the strict no-fly zones around DC the planes have to fly right over the Potomac. It's usually a cool view.

Jackson hole is pretty fun too.
