I love this time of year...
Just a tip for everyone taking pics from the cockpit... If you can't shoot through an open window, get the front of the lens as close as possible to the window you're shooting through, as this will blur any bug splats/scratches and eliminate the relections from the inside...
My normal work day is 8hrs skids up. I've averaged over 150hrs/month since June...
carefull..... Flight & Duty is going to get you
