Thank you! I was in awe when I got it. I think that was my first pan shot.

My favorite is probably the Delta B738 on rotation. That was completely unedited. The sun just popped out at the right angle. I didn’t even see it until I went back through my pics.

Ameriflight has a small hangar in the center of the airport. Plus, FlightAware was good at telling me what it was. I had no clue.

Oh! I forgot to include this in the original, but it’s poll time.

Should I stay or should I go?

  • Try new spotting area (i.e. Runway ends, parking garage, etc.)
  • Stay in the official viewing area

It’s always good to try new locations. It’s better than the same shots from the same angles!

That’s what I was thinking, but the “official” spotting location is really nice. It’s right in the middle of 18L/36R and 27/09. You get a nice view of the cargo and pax terminals (they are equally spaced with one on the right and one on the left). But I think the parking garage might be cool too. We’ll just wait and see :)

Our official spotting location at IAH is backlit the whole day, which is why us spotters decided to find some new spots!
