I live about a mile inline south of the runway at the end of Collins.
I've seen many planes come in to land for the Super Bowl this week over our house.
I'm sure there are more than usual and thought it would make a great event photo taken today after most land ...with the sun still up. That would be a good picture to share online at your website for anyone (like me) who is proud of the Arlington Airport and how they are handling all the visitors in a positive way.
Have you considered taking this important photo?
Thanks.
