Boeing 737-700 (16-6694)

COVID has really caused the military to discontinue many of the annual training activities that were normally conducted in this area. As a result, the number of visits of military metal has decreased dramatically also. I'm looking forward to 2021.

Neat Photo Gary............

Love the wet runway as you bet I would.

Face to face - nice one Gary! I am also looking forward to 2021!

Darryl, Thanx, my friend. Man, somehow, someday, we have GOT to link up "face to face." I'd truly enjoy getting together with Beantown's most devoted "aviation-photography" shutterbugs: John M., Dave S., and you. How cool that would be. There are no photogs here (in this immediate area) that are truly devoted to aviation photography. (Some will SAY they are but their actions - AND their photos - speak waaaay louder than their words. lol) The closest photog I know of who is indeed an honest devotee is Tom Vance (aka: Alien), but he lives a few hours away to the west in Redding, CA. If I ever get back near your turf, we have GOT to meet if even just for a couple hours. And if you ever come out here, you'd sure nuff better tell me you're coming. Give me as much advance notice as you can and I'll take you to plenty of airports and fine spotting locations at each ... including airside at some. (Thumbs Up)

I'm with Ken, love 'em in the wet. Great pic.

A beautifully composed photo portrait. Mahalo!

Ken & Gavin ... Thank you, guys. Ken ... Great to see you back. I'd wondered where you had disappeared to. (Wave)
Douglas ... Thank you very, very much for your kind compliment. There aren't an awful lot of folks who are appreciative of inclement weather clicks. Ken, Darryl, and Gavin are three of about two dozen or so. I sincerely appreciation YOUR comment. (And man, I so badly want to visit Hawaii again. Wife and I met there 48 years ago and we want to relive the first moments of what has turned out to be a fabulous half ... almost ... century.)

Gary. As you may be aware, life as we know it has been abbreviated greatly here in the islands. Hopefully when it is once again safe to travel we will be glad to welcome you and your wife back to celebrate your special anniversary. Stay well and be safe.

This is a really really view Gary. Not common for many to see. Thank you for sharing and maybe someday FA could add some sort of messenger piece to this site so we could all keep in touch.

John - what a great idea, rather than post after post.

Great photo Gman and kind words...thank you - A neat idea you have is we can all meet - maybe something like the next March 2021 SFO Airline Collectible show - plenty of Hotels in the area and planned properly we can get a "California Triangle" SFO-SJC-OAK photo run,,,,though OAK is a terrible airport photog wise it is last on my list to film at. There are other opportunities, or all meet at RNO, plenty of Hotels and Gman Tour guide ......just a thought....the years are advancing and I know I am just a few years behind Gman in Calendars .... we have the SFO airline Collectible show 2x a year ( search Facebook) and funny - just thought, today is 9/26/2020 we were supposed to have our fall Show but we cancelled due to Covid of course...Waaaa

Tom, count me in! Even if we just met in Reno, I like the idea! Oh, and great shot, Gary!
