PHOTOS: PHL - July 31, 2009

Very active hour and a half at PHL. Two Alert One's. First a Southwest
with a fuel emergency. It landed on 27R. Then not to long after, a
second Alert One. This more serious (if running out of fuel isn't
serious enough). The left engine was out on a Delta DC-9, I mean NW
DC-9. Both landed without incident.

When I first arrived the sun was out, not for long. But as the AF 744
was on final, it became darker, and fast. Camera setting is now down
to ISO of 800 and still needed some photoshop brightening. No more
than 90 secs later, the skies opened up. Visibility was zero. I was
looking for Toto, things got that bad.

Anyhow, I expect a better photo of the AF 744 departure tomorrow @4pm.

As always, great work!


Looks like the pickup-truck needs a flag-car escort.
