What fireworks look like ....

From 8000 feet, descending into Philadelphia. Fireworks near Coatesville, PA. From the ground, fireworks seem to be exploding much higher than they actually are...

Flying into Washington DC

Flew into DCA today, first time in 2 years. Its gorgeous today and the
weather allowed for some great approach shots. It's good to be in the
states for sure. In the picture taken from the east looking west, you
can see the Potomac and the DC Mall and the airport on the left, on
the far side of the Potomac. Arlington is just past the airport and
it's so clear out today that Bankdad (my grandfather and the only sane
member of my family) probably watched us land from there today. More
pics to come....
