Close call at the Airport and The Cornelia Marie.

One of my housekeepers was flying out today on vacation so I decided to go up and say goodbye then swing by Delta Western.
Heading down to Delta Western Fuel Dock the gates on the road closed and we waited while a Coast Guard plane tried Twice to land and skipped off both times. Then the gates opened and the traffic was once again moving. Imagine our suprise when you see this out your window out of nowhere!!
Just a minute earlier and he would have hit a Horizion Line Tractor trailer and a minute or two later he would have hit one of the MAERSK Trucks.
SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Not Cool!!!
Anyway though, I still got to get some shots of the Cornelia Marie sitting at the Delta Western Fuel Dock though.
Loosk like they will be here till Saturday at least, because there is NO way Phil or Murray will leave port on Friday the 13th!! (See, I am not the only one!!)
Speaking of Which, I am taking tomorrow off so that is why the double post today.
See all of you Saturday, See some of you Friday Night (What time are we meeting up ladies? This is NOT the Final episode of Battlestar so I guess I can just record it)

Enjoy your day off. I like Friday the 13th. I used to work on the 13th floor (yep some buildings still have them). Look forward to brunch this week (actually it's dinner for my time zone).

holy damn.. someone got bitched at over at the airport and you know it! And here they have to put all the security crap back in the airport again too with all that new procedures going on with small planes and stuff now. At least what I've been watching on the news and stuff!

WOW CB... at least they didn't get close enough to endanger you!

Have fun on your day off tomorrow ;)

Wow, CB! Nothing like being in the right place at the wrong time and having your camera ready! Too freakin' close! Enjoy your Friday the 13th off - going to be a good day for me! Oh, and you/we know the boats never leave the dock on a Friday, let alone a Friday the 13th. Very bad juju!

Well...that's the Coast Guard. No following the rules there. And they probably didn't land...just a touch and go, I'll bet. They don't like landing on the 3905 foot runway. Great pics!

OMG, that must have been a shock to see that plane landing!

Does the road cross the runway?

Enjoy your day off CB,
Oh and LOL at the Black Velvet in the previous post, my brother used to love that stuff and collect the bottles, I haven't seen Black Velvet in years and my bro is no longer with us so thanks for a great memory of him!
