Gorgeous shots Will!  I especially like the over water landing shots.  And that livery was awesome but I know first hand how difficult it is to keep aluminum shiny like that.  It's extremely labor intensive as they have to use pneumatic buffers with polishing compound on every inch of exposed skin and that can also lead to aluminum degradation due to it removing slight amounts of metal with that abrasive.

Thanks PM, working jets for so long I saw a lot of interesting things.  I miss it.

I worked, DC-9's, MD-88's, MD-90's, 717's (which are really MD-88's), 727's, 737's, 757's, 767's, 777's, L-1011's, A310's, and MD-11's.  I had my A&P license so I worked all systems such as sheet metal, engines, flight controls, landing gear, but I was trained as an avionics tech.  We had to know more than the pilots.  It was the most rewarding experience in my entire life.
