My sister and her family often drive down near the end of the Portland Airport runway with bags of Burger King Goodness and watch the planes come in. I’ve been in the area for more than 20 years and have never been down Marine Drive, so tonight Tami and I decided to borrow Amy’s idea and see how the kids liked it. We stopped at Little Caesar’s for a couple of “Hot-and-Ready” pizzas (”hot,” but 15 minutes from “Ready”), and then crossed the bridge to see if we could find plane-watching nirvana. It wasn’t all that busy tonight with incoming flights, but we did have a blast and will be doing it again soon.

Pictures tonight were a bit of a bomb. I found out that I have a rather large piece of dirt on the 18-55, and getting lighting right with the setting sun, shadow, and bright sky was impossible. But I was able to grab a few shots that weren’t completely awful.
