|  I Love Evening Flights
How you doin' JC'ers, Had to head back to Tampa on Tuesday. Lucky for us, there was a nice overcast layer to climb through which had a gorgeous sunset awaiting us on the other side. It was such an amazing break through on top, I haven't been treated to a sight like that in quite a while. Everything is pretty grainy, my camera is craptastic in low light. Going to keep them smaller this time, I'm just too embarrassed about the graininess to show them any larger.  Just a few photos and two videos.   Love this shot!    I can't speak highly enough of Jet Center at Tampa. Love em. Had to level off to our assigned altitude right at the break out point-- ATC got to us just in time and let us keep going! EDIT: Forgot to add this. The ATC goof from our arrival back into Melbourne. "Cleared to land...I guess" BTW, that's my friend on the radio, not yours truly.  We were at a loss for words which explains our silence.We both looked at eachother like WTF?     Apologies for the lame quality again! Jppppaxxxxx.

Tampa Jet Center is top notch. They highly deserve the Corporate Aircraft Assn. rating. It's funny when we take our Hawker to the service center there. Signature tugs it to "the line" and unhooks, then Jet Center hooks up and tugs it the rest of the way. What a pain in the ass. |

Nice pics (grain not withstanding). What are those funny TV set looking things on the panel and where did all the round dials go?

Man, all those blue circles in that third picture, I'm sure I would get busted for doing something wrong. Nice pictures!
