Lining up
Just after a Lufthansa Boeing 747 took off from Runway 18 at Frankfurt, this Lufthansa Cargo McDonnell-Douglas MD-11F did the same. Luckily the jet wash was mostly gone when it did.
A Mitsubishi Heavy Industries CRJ-900LR (reg N554NN) passing in front of the Sun, seen through thick clouds Saturday.
American Airlines flight 5110 was flying from Charlotte (CLT) to Freeport (FPO) at 25,000 feet and 442 knots as it passed over the Space Coast.
The clouds were *really* thick and I was hoping for a break that would allow a clear view of the Sun. When I think a transit might be possible, I'll usually adjust the exposure settings constantly to keep the Sun visible, mainly for planning purposes. For this, I had bumped the ISO to 25,600 in order to keep the shutter speed high (1/1000). At first, I thought the image to be unusable, but in black and white it sort of captures the mood of a cloudy day.
