There is a very cool airplane just inside the gates of Andrews Air Force Base. I’m not talking about Air Force One, but rather about what must be a vietnam era plane that is mounted on a stand to appear as though it is just taking off. While it is on the grounds of the base, it is clearly visible from a negihboring road, which I used to take home from work every day.
One day last year, during that brief annual five day period when sunset coincides with the commute home, I thought it would make a great picture. Unfortunately, as my flash couldn’t reach through the fences and couldn’t traverse the 50 yard distance from the road to the plane, what I got was a shilouette of the plane against an extremely strong background.
That picture always bothered me. However, when I came aross it the other day, I wondered if maybe there could be a way to salvage that unique sunset. That is what we have today.

Was the sunset really that yellow? Cool. How long has the new slogan below MDP been UP?
