My broswers caan't load this one, but you should be able to save it
and open it up with irfanview or perhaps another photo editor.http://www.lazygranch.com/images/ttr/july2009/ttr_pano_07282009_large...
Nice work! Good to see you're working hard to maintain your high
placement on the Fed's shit list.
Is that a parked, head-on Janet I see, to the left of your "special
building" and to the right of the long hangar row?
I don't think it is a Janet. The area looks well lit at the time of
the photo, so I would expect the plane to look Janet white. You can
see one section of buildings that look almost gray because a cloud
interfered with the sun and I didn't notice this when shooting.
BTW, a fatal accident at the TTR today. A fuel truck overturned,
killing two contractors. I find that a bit perplexing since I don't
think a fuel truck would be moving particularly fast, nor doing sharp
turns. I suppose the truck could have been avoiding an animal on the
range, but most people know these days you just whack the animal
rather then try to steer around it, especially in a truck.
I had two bird strikes leaving the range for Vegas. I still have
feathers in my drivers side mirror, but I did better than that bird.
The first strike hit the lower passenger side of the front windshield.
Speaking of traffic hazards, besides the usual cattle in the middle of
the road (which at least you can see and avoid), I had a pack of prong
horns cross in front of me. I never saw them coming since their
coloration matches the desert. Once on the road, they were visible, so
I slowed down to avoid them. Probably not necessary since they crossed
so fast they were gone in a flash.
