Photo of the day

Planespotting at Miami International.

If you love aviation, planespotting is fun. Besides photographers, every day I find families with children looking at landings and takeoffs. With the economy as it is though, I find, particularly in Miami, a very marked slowdown in traffic. It used to be years ago you could see three or four planes in the landing pattern for each runway. Nowadays there are times when you can have 15 minutes or so without a single plane. Tough times.
