The skies in the background are an angry pink as we get ready to push flt 553. My only regret is that there wasn't any lightning in the background, but I figured this might do. Shortly after we pushed this bird off of our gate, it began to rain in buckets! At least, we all stayed dry in the end! I used the hood of one of our tugs and a couple of coins as a tripod for this shot! Ahhh the beauty of working for an airline!!

Taken at the 2006 Goodyear Balloon and Air Spectacular held at Goodyear Municipal Airport! I dedicate this shot to my Grandfather, who is the inspiration for this shot as he helped to defend freedom during WWII in this type of aircraft! He's also the inspiration for me trying to become an airline pilot myself! This one's for you Gramps!

You would think that there would not be that many swimming pools in people's backyards in the Buffalo area! This shot proves otherwise! WN flt 2768 turns base for rwy 32 at BUF over Cheektowaga with a large number of swimming pools shown
