A beautiful day to fly!

For the first time in a very long time I was on a flight today that wasn't packed and actually took off on time. For the 10 of us (yes, just 10) on the Comair (Delta Connection) Canadair Regional Jet that normally holds 50 passengers, the trip from Trenton to Boston was delightful. I wasn't bashful in taking out my camera and snapping some very nice aerial shots.

This is the Delaware river and Trenton, NJ, looking to the south. Pennsylvania is on the right side of the photo, while New Jersey is on the left. The northern-most (lowest) bridge is the Calhoun Street bridge. The next bridge to the south is the famous "Trenton Makes The World Takes" bridge. Next up is the Trenton-Morrisville Route 1 Toll Bridge. And the last bridge (farthest south) is a railroad bridge. In fact, if you look to the right of that bridge, you can see an Amtrak Acela train headed for Philadelphia that recently crossed the bridge.



I also got a unique shot of runway 22 at LaGuardia (LGA) airport.



Here is the Hudson River, Central Park, and most of Manhattan.


The other quite spectacular shot I got was of the George Washington Bridge (center of photo) and Yankee Stadium (lower right-hand corner).


I hope you enjoyed these photos as much as I enjoyed taking them! Overall, the flight was teriffic. We even arrived 20 minutes early (gasp)! Of course the ground crew was nowhere to be found since we were so early. Oh well...
