My sincere Thanks to Frank, Bobbi, and Thomas for permitting me to be at the runway's edge for Doc's arrival.

Even tho it was around 20 minutes to 6 (PM), it was still hot and the heat was coming up from the ground, resulting in a bit of heat shimmer. And no, there was no water on the runway.

With that amount of evident heat, it's a darn fine shot to not have 'Doc' completely distorted. Great pic all round to have a scene, not just a plane. I reckon most shooters would go for a big zoom on the plane and miss the beauty around it. Well done sir.

Magastic shot of this classic and mountain background! All 5 and deserves many many more.
