Well the Christmas Rush is in full swing!! I had a customer to go to today and low and behold he is only five minutes from PHL!! I stopped at the house and picked up my camera and made a quick stop at my customer's to solve his problem and then over to PHL for a little spotting.

Catch of the Day: Tradewinds Cargo B742

Enjoy!!

Damn Pole!!!! I didn't notice it until I downloaded the pictures!! Angry

I love cargo planes...don't know why.

Great shots, I'd better go spotting before I leave for europe so I can catch the rush!

Nice catches there, Cory. I have yet to get a 727 at ABE yet. I can never get up early enough in the summer (only a few weeks where the light is good enough) to catch it.

Very nice shots indeed. I simply adore cargo planes. They just look so... clean without all those windows. Grin
