Boeing 737-900 (N461AS)

Excellent head on takeoff shot! Seen in Daily Newsletter!

Thank You .. Even though I was NOT even on airport property, I was challenged by police, because they had received telephone calls and I was shooting from (De La Cruz Blvd - Highway US 101) overpass .. In the end .. it was "Ok" ... (flashing Media Credentials helps) I was actually looking down 12L to get this shot of the aircraft coming up off of 30R for departure.

It's a fantastic shot Clement although I must admit when I first saw it I thought someone had uploaded a Screenshot from a Flightsim! Is it just a trick of foreshortening or do those buildings factor into the approach?

Mark .. The buildings are consistently over flown ON FINAL .. that is THE REAL down town SAN JOSE in the background .. I have only ever, put up one aircraft image that IS NOT of an actual operational aircraft.
