In this life, you have to think ahead to survive, not just on the flightdeck.

I'll go for this one.

This is at Boston. The building in the background is the Federal Reserve building - no surprise there, from Smurfie's original post.

It's a matter of perspective - in the real Boston it's not that close, but it's an impressive piccie nonetheless.

You can take the girl out of the F16 but you can't take the F16 out of the girl !! ;)

Its amazing what you can do with a tele-photo lens. The angle is distorted too as the actual building is to the right of the flightpath (at least 1/2 mile away). The take-off procedure does not call for a left turn until 2 miles after departure.
