Cleared for Takeoff and Land

Thanks to Claudia of BleuEvanescence http://www.pbase.com/ckoi7lumiere and the Flying Dutchman http://www.pbase.com/flying_dutchman/airfields for this idea for my current gallery. These are some of the various airports I have landed or takeoff over the years. Many are in Washington state but there are others from flying trips. Hope everybody enjoy viewing this gallery. Cheers, Long

This is a great gallery.
A feast to the eyes of all of us air-photo nuts.
Keep on takingof-landing-picture-taking! VV

Much more fun than looking at approach plates. I really enjoyed your images of the NW approaches. I used to fly from Arlington down to Harvey's to get breakfast when Dick was still with us. ~V~

A very nice collection. I enjoyed viewing this very much ~V~

The approach pictures are very useful to a student pilot like me. Your amazing shots help me visualize what a correct glide slope should look like. You're providing a great learning tool as I being cross country training into unfamiliar airports. Please post more when you have a chance.
