I've discovered a new activity for my 2yr old: we park in the long term parking lot at SFO, right at the end of runways 28L and 28R, and depending on the wind direction we can see few or many airplanes taking off. It's hard to believe how excited he gets by this. I'm not exactly a plane spotter, but I had the usual teenage fascination with airplanes. So I had a camera along and when I saw the bright orange C-130 go by I couldn't resist taking a picture. Of course the camera was loaded with B&W film so the day-glow orange finish is rather lost in the result! Since it was on Monday afternoon I have to wonder if this wasn't Gary's airplane??? I've posted the picture on http://www.rakitzis.com/c130.jpg There's hardly any photographic merit here, but the coincidence was curious enough to me that I couldn't resist posting this. The plane is called "Sacramento", by the way. It was nice to see that detail revealed in the neg!!! Byron.
