Trips to the threshold at Jerez

[Mikebert4]

About once or twice a week I take a walk around the primeter fence at Jerez and hang out at the threshold for a while. Below are some of the (better) captures I've had whilst down there.

C&C very welcome

nice set, esp. #1 as the pilot seems to be waving for the photo (could be pre-flight checks though..)

also like #4, the red and rich blue sky really work for me (in my humble opinion)

Thanks pepper!

The Captain was indeed waving at us

The Pitts Special is actually being flown by the CFI at Flight Training Europe (where I'm training at the moment) - he usually takes it out once or twice a week and throws it around the sky, it's great to take a break from study and watch his antics up and down the runway. I'm with you on the colours in the photo. It's surprisingly difficult to get nice skies down here, the atmosphere is nearly always dusty and murky *sigh*. At some point I'll go through and 'shop all the skies to a nice blue.
