A massive cloud and fog bank is rolling in from the Atlantic. I'm giving Blue some exercise on a back road just East of the Halifax, Nova Scotia airport. I could hear this aircraft, very loud, but couldn't see it. Then it was right in front of me, emerging from the fog, nosing in for a landing, only a few hundred feet above, and a quarter mile distant. Three very quick shots and it was totally enveloped again. I didn't hear the tires squeal but did hear the engines slowing as soon as it touched down. This is the only shot that was even close to being sharp.

Cool shot, Doug and yes excellent timing.
I am a white knuckle flyer to start with . When Dan and I went to HI we had a landing that was extremely rough and very loud . I got off that plane swearing never again.
However I did return to the mainland !

That's a really cool shot of a United airlines coming through the clouds. I know the design on the tail, they have many designs.

Really nice catch Doug - I'm with Marsha on this being a white knuckle flyer.

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB

Good timing with the capture and good composition of the scene.
