Captain's Log is the true story of a commercial airline pilot. I have logged more than 20,000 hours over 25 years. I have fought a war, delivered humanitarian relief, supported the U.S. President on visits to foreign lands, flown over 100,000 people like you, safely, to destinations large and small. I want to share normal, boring, odd, hilarious, and seat-of-the pants flying experiences. I thank you for your trust in me and humbly tell you my story.

These pictures were taken on final approach to Tampa International Airport. I was able to set a timer on my camera which automatically took several photos during our approach. The picture on the bottom shows us about 3 miles out.
Great shots of the approach! How long did you have to sit on the taxiway when you finally got down?
Last time I was there we had to sit for 60 minutes before we could cross the runway and get to our gate.
Then on the way out there was an inbound emergency (smoke in the cockpit) so we had to wait another 60 minutes for departing aircraft to start taking off again and we were 25th in line.

ReplyDeleteI'm an aviation photographer just back from TPA. It's a fantastic spotters' airport, with the best position atop the northernmost parking garage.
ReplyDeleteNice variety there as well.
