This picture was taken in Ontario just before takeoff. We just had about four days of rain a few days prior but it was still cloudy and very windy. Normally we take off to the west at Ontario but this was one of the rare times we took off to the east. But I think it had more to do with LAX changing their takeoff direction rather than the wind. Not sure.

My home airport! It's fun to fly over the 30 numbers when a commercial jet is landing!

The shadow looks like an F-16.

I just love how those wings tear themselves apart when they decide they're done flying.

I believe that is Lemoore NAS.

That would be Oyster Bay Shoreline Regional Park along the shoreline before landing. Nice place to take an evening walk with the dogs after work.

I find landing in SFO somewhat scary. There's always that thought of "what if they muck this up?"

Always thought it was really cool to see through the actual wing areas when landing.

Regardless, it still happens.
