The photos in this gallery are from the bus #2 airfield tour of MIA that I conducted on Friday, January 16, 2015 in conjunction with the annual Eddy Gual aircraft slide gathering of aviation photographers from the US, Europe and Asia. The event is now administered by a local convention committee headed by Eddy Gual and the name is Florida Aviation Photographers (FAP).
Bus #1's tour was conducted by Norman Hegedus from the Airside Operations Division at MIA. Bruce Drum, retired Deputy Director of Aviation Department, was unable to make the event due to the bad weather and driving conditions earlier in the day. Ralph Cruz from Airside Operations was our guide/chaperone on Bus #2 to make sure we complied with airfield safety rules. We sincerely thank Lonny P. Craven, Airside Operations Division Director, for his continued support of the annual airport tours by providing buses and drivers for the tours. We also thank his superiors at the Miami-Dade Aviation Department by allowing this annual event to continue.
We all had a good time on the airfield despite the cloudy weather for most of the tour. But we had a period of sunshine late in the tour while parked near the midfield 12/30 tunnel and I'm sure many photographers ended up with some beautiful photos of aircraft in action on runway 30 and the adjacent taxiways.
(This Gallery is under construction with more photos to be added in the future)
