Hello community, I’m back at DCA—specifically at the marina since Gravelly Point is temporarily closed… didn’t originally plan on catching departures but I think they made for some decent shots ![]()
Anyways, i’ll let you be the judge of that, enjoy!
Spotting gear
Canon eos rebel T5/Canon 1200D
Canon EF-S 55-250 mm f/4-5.6 IS STM
Starting off with this American Airlines A321N departing into the sunset for a flight to Los Angeles
After that came Chester, smiling away in the sunset as he departs to Portland
Shortly after that came this Delta A319 going full TO/GA for Detroit
After that came a PSA CRJ-700 my camera was struggling to take… I believe it was departing to Norfolk
To (unoficially) close off this topic, a United A321XLR going to Chicago, surprisingly my first time spotting it
Bonus photo
About 10 minutes later came this Jetblue A220 departing to JFK, a route previously flown by Jetblue’s E190’s before their retirement (@Anthony_Gulluscio summon)
This was the first flight out of DCA for around 12 minutes after a temporary TFR due to presidential helicopters nearby
Thanks for viewing ![]()
