There was something blocking part of your lens. I cleaned up the image a bit so everything was visible. You're welcome.

Shawn, snerk!

So, was she Angel One or Two?

And I'm not seeing the deathray lasers anywhere on the bottom there. You know, the ultra uber-secret defensive and offensive capabilities they built into them. Are you sure you got the right plane? Or was it like when Bush came in for a local talk and they used five different helicopters (4 decoys). :)

It's sad, but after the first shot my eyes went to the container port. As an importer I guess I'm more concerned with that than the freakin' President of the United States.

Shawn, that image will remain burned in my brain for the rest of the day. Thanks...jerk.

Chris, my wife works for one of the shipping companies in the port. Which is why they were in a position to take the pictures. The approach is a high security area, pointing anything at the plane other than a camera is likely to result in your untimely demise.

Ah, I was wondering how you got those pics without some twitchy security people thinking you were a terrorist.
