    Good one Robert Spears. I saw you there yesterday… :) 

    I was aiming to capture with contrails, but was not quick enough!

    Perfect with the plane in the shot. It was a stunning moment to be so close to it, for so long. Happy to see so many people enjoying the sighting!

    Great photos, Robert Spears!  Especially “the eagle has landed!”

Sorry, comment time is over.
