This is a jet at the Colorado Springs airport as the sun was coming up and I was waiting for my departing time. This isn't the plane I flew on, but I liked how it looked against the rising sun.

A truly fantsatic shot!! I'm into planes and if you want to give this shot more exposure, try posting it to www.airliners.net which has a database of around 400,000 aircraft images.

You should sell this to the airline for a advertising shot. It is great!!!!

Beautiful capture.

I agree with you that this looks great with the sunrise in the background. I am surprised you weren't stopped while trying to take this... I have no luck with my camera around airplanes.
Guest 17-May-2004 20:47
Outstanding Paul ... the colors are just beautiful
Guest 17-May-2004 20:45

Karthik Raja17-May-2004 20:38
Yup.. I love the way it looks too. But then I am very biased towards plane shots! I just love them!
