This is an absolutely gorgeous Challenger, and for the first time in over a week the sky was cloudless and blue and the morning sun was in a perfect location. The conditions could not have been any better to get outstanding clicks of this fabulous aircraft as it came screaming past me.

"5" stars on this one, Gary... and a fairly new registration change on this aircraft for N5G.

Awesome picture Gary! I was the Captain on this flight. Was wondering if I might be able to contact you regarding getting the file for getting the picture printed, etc.

Roy, Greg, Dave, Cliff, Sparkie, and Ryan T.... Your comments & complis are very much appreciated, guys. TYVM. (Wave)
Ryan T. >> Twenty-eight photos in the complete set ... taxiing past me on Charlie; then approaching, passing, and climbing away from me while departing on 16L. All shots are in both max res JPEG (original right from the card - unedited) and also RAW data formats. Saved on recordable disk for you. Also, signed photographer's release authorizing your full use of all photos on the disc. Email me at OldeCarl@gmail.com with a snail mail addy and it will be enroute to you within 72 hours. Glad you liked this shot -- you'll like the next two in the series after this one -- just the Challenger and the Sierra Nevada -- no terminal or ground objects. That is one awesome aircraft!!!! (Tip of my spotter's cap to you)
