I have 2 Tokinas, a 12-24 f4 (DX/Crop) and a 16-28 f2.8 (FX). No major complaints on either lens, solid build, sharp; they do have a bit of color fringing, but that's fixable in post, it's a 2-click...
Went to the airport to catch this 757 that flew in empty from DFW. It's supposed to fly 2 CMH-DFW charters tomorrow for the Oregon-Ohio game on Monday.
...
Thanks everyone!
I saw that and/or Spatula Special somewhere, and the name stuck.
Ran to the airport today and managed to shoot for 10 or 15 minutes before the clouds moved in. My goal was to get the PSA CRJ-900 and the Super Spatula (Eagle E-175 N4xxYX), but the latter went to...
Beckley? I wonder if they're doing EAS flights. I saw that Brasilia around the ramp both days when I was there last week, but I never saw it fly.
Went to the airport this morning

A few from when I met up with Moose earlier today.

Sounds good. If the weather isn't terrible, I plan on being there around 2, I'm currently in Charleston WV and will begin driving shortly.
There's a Compass flight now? nice, I haven't seen one in ages.
I love those last few shots. I'm definitely looking forward to pushing the limits on the 7D2, last time I was out there I was capped...
From last August's trip to CLT.

But it worked in Kerbal Space Program...
Darwin says it's ok to proceed with the launch.
I knew that they were going to ramp up the painting after Labor Day, but yes, they pretty much have one plane going into the paint shop before the fumes from the previous plane have dissipated.
...
Thanks everyone.
That was indeed my money shot (and PSA too). I was debating between leaving or not, as I wasn't sure if the E190 was going to be house colors or one of the two AM Connect planes...
Went to CMH today (as usual)

Yeah it went back today and it should have arrived a couple of minutes ago. This is only day 3 of revenue service, it was ferried from AMA to PIT on the 11th and started flying on the 12th.
Sounds like I beat Moose to the 1st US Airways E-170/175 to receive the silver treatment.
Arrived from CLT as RPA3266 and is currently taxiing out, on its way to CLT.

InselAir used 18C last Saturday when I was out there, and then JetBlue on Sunday. I was very pleased.
Yep. Forgot to post this.
I will be spotting, weather permitting, on Saturday and Sunday afternoon / evening at the CLT overlook. Sunday morning at the RDU overlook.
Wow. That was fast. When they retired the 733s from PHX they thinned the fleet down to 2 or so over the course of a few months, so I was expecting to see them a bit longer. I'm going to look at maybe...
I don't think I've posted these here before. 2 MAFFS birds from the 146th AW, based at Channel Islands ANGB flew a few missions out of Prescott during the Yarnell Fire containment effort, just 3 days...
The last 2 are pretty cool. I'm still missing Panthers.
That's a nice looking CRJ too. I saw the first 3 Mesa planes that got painted when I was in Phoenix and they really look nice. This plane...
Went to CMH for a couple of hours since the south runway was supposed to be closed and I figured there could be some interesting shots until they reopened it (which was ahead of the time stated in...
Columbus has ALPR and when you get your ticket it is printed there, the receipt won't show it though.
