Under the Big Curve

Coming out of Harrisburg, PA, the train passes under this overpass. I have always enjoyed figuring out where we are and if I've ever been here using any other mode of transportation. I'm weird that way. This is the Airport Connector (it's actually called that) which is the main entryway into the Harrisburg International Airport. Having flown out of there on many occasions it gives me the hat trick: planes, trains and automobiles. Weird might be putting it mildly.

The Taxi, 3, Cleared

The third installment in our series, this is the scene as we are about to take off. It is absolutely my favorite point in any flight, the moment of anticipation of that incredible acceleration that always brings me back to neighborhood drag racing. Not that any of my clunkers were anywhere near this fast.

This is the second painting from the "Scenes From a Plane" series. It shows the continuation of our approach to the runway and just how much air traffis there is at Sea-Tac International Airport (Seattle-Tacoma).

It's a good thing that my wife doesn't really like the window seat or I'd be out of a job. This is the scene that was out my window as we were taxiing out to the runway at Sea-Tac International Airport (Seattle-Tacoma). I was struck by how colorful the tarmac was. More to come.
