Look at the lift arc over that wing. Man, when it comes to aircraft (and software and entertainment; not sure of anything else) USA rules!
That smoke in the shot is generated, right? It's not coming from pressing the air.

Certainly not. It was a very humid August morning on the beach in Atlantic City. If you want generated smoke, I can do that, too:

And usually, where there's smoke...

...there's fire.

I would like to see Taipei 101 while it is still the tallest skyscraper in the world

Here we go again with DEQMs... :rolleyes:

:rolleyes: x2

True. I'll still enjoy the MMer repercussions, though...

Not as sharp as some of the others, but I got a few shots of the Blue Angels at the YYZ Air Show last weekend:

Looks like I may hit Platinum and the better half may make Silver.

You took that shot from the ground? Very nice! What kind of equipment did you use?

I wonder how far above 150k I'm going to get...

Agreed, though what it really means for me is that I have to decide if I want to MR or not. I have a whopping 1662 miles booked on CO right now through EoY. I guess I've got another FLL trip worth ~2K that will add to it. I'm just not sure it is worth it only for MMer.

Now I just need Marriott to do another double elite night promotion.

That's some sweet vapor trail. ^ I didn't go to this year's ACY show...it was only the Thunderbirds, and I have a few shots in my gallery of them embarrassing themselves in comparison to the mighty Blues.

With the new elite tier coming , we should welcome DEQMs

That is the only upside that I can see. The downside is that everyone boarding a plane out of EWR (and probably IAH) is going to be Platinum if they keep this up. :rolleyes:
