Airbus A320 (N632JB)

I've caught this one previously and normally once I've captured a scheme I don't make a special trip in to RNO to get it again. But THIS one deserves a special trip EVERY time it visits.
The pilots were taxiing north at a pretty quick speed so I was clicking snaps in bursts of 3 or 4. As I was taking this burst set, I noticed the pilot looking over at me so I gave him a wave and as I did, I realized the jet was slowing down. As it continued past me, it was barely moving. Then, after it had moved beyond me, it picked up speed again and continued its rapid taxi to the terminal. But in the few moments that it had slowed down, I had taken 44 photos -- all premier pics. It was only after it had moved beyond me and increased its taxi speed again that I realized that the pilot, after noticing me taking photos (above), had most likely slowed down deliberately so I could get some perfect pics. Even the pilots are proud of this gorgeous liverybird. And their pride is definitely justified ... this one is stunning!!

Fantastic shot of 'Bear Force One' Gary!

Very cool, Gary!

Fantastic pic. That livery ALWAYS stands out but very nicely captured. Great angle, superb light, great luck getting it all there to work with (and help from the pilot).
