Touchdown! Greaser!
It's up to you, New York, New York...
What a fabulous sight! Good guess on RWY 30 - the airport tweeted that it would be 30 at about 8 AM this morning. I knew where I wanted to be, just wondered if I could make it there from my breakfast at Tyson's in time.
I was the geek that had 2 aviation radios (one on West Ground, one on RWY 30 Tower) as I was driving out to the appointed spot. I found a parking place near about 10 others doing the same thing just as Nasa Heavy was saying they would be ready in 5 minutes.... and as other airliners were asking "how long" and taxi positions where their pax could see the takeoff.
Heard the TO clearance, and waited for Enterprise to appear above the trees.... here are two of a series I took.
Hope y'all in NY got a good view - it should be on the ground by now.
