Janet N662BA at Palmdale

Palmdale airport is open to the public again since there are scheduled commercial flights. (Skywest from the Bay Area.) I shot these on 12/01/2008. You are still pretty far from the action. These were done with a 400mm f5/6 lens with 1.4x teleconverter. Most are 1/3 frame croppings.

The color is off the charter since I was dealing with smoke from a fire in Lancaster, sun through coastal fog, and late afternoon light.

The Janet does not go to the terminal. Rather, it is met by a white van. These Groom Lake guys are just so anti-social!
