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

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.
