That was a developer for over 20 years and I guess some habits die hard? I'm keeping a change log (yes ironically)

Thought maybe a fellow dev may see this and appreciate it with me.

I am using as much salvage and scrap material as I can. This is basically a 3D sketch

My setup: OM-1 Mark II with a 40-150mm pro 2.8 and a 2X teleconverter... I didn't really need that much zoom lol. The platform is literally like 50 ft from the runway. 😍🤩

Of course at Love you're going to get mostly Southwest 737s and a variety of corporate jets. But it's really good for practicing your focus, your panning etc. however, I would recommend you bring a small stool even though you can see over the fence line. It's right there at at runway level if you're under about 6 ft tall.
