Runway 13

Getting a shot from the window of a plane is dicey. Usually the window is dirty (grease marks from the last guy who rested his head on it while sleeping) or potmarked and scratched. Sometimes you get lucky. This isn't a great image or anything, but I'm happy that it turned out okay. This is runway 13 at Laguardia (looking SE toward Flushing Bay).

    I would not have known you took this thru a window. This looks lower to the ground than I thought it would from sitting in the plane.

    You got the timing right. It looks as if it was taken from the cockpit. Well done.thumb.gif

    Very nice, Jeff! Looks like you caught someone departing off in the distance as well.

    Thanks, everyone. Yes, there is a plane that has just taken off in the air just above the horizon.

    Oh, did I forget to say that I'm a co-pilot, and that the grease stains on the window are from the pilot falling asleep with his head on the windshield? rolleyes1.gif

    Didn't you listen to the flight attendants... please make sure all electronic devices are turned OFF... tsk tsk tsk.

    I was going to ask "howd you get a shot on the runway" then read you were in the plane.... looks pretty good to me
