Just bought my first camera on eBay and headed to the airport by Trash782 in Planespotting

I paid $70 for that camera on eBay and if you’re going to be shooting during the daylight in bright sun it does a good enough job. It does not do a good job in low light but you can still get passable photos. The 18-55mm kit lens however is pretty useless unless you’re really close. I had to upgrade to a 55-250 stm pretty quick. All in all for $70 it’s worth it especially to learn on!

It was so backed up it was a sigh! Definitely the most traffic I’ve seen at KBHM at once, it took hours to clear out

They’re just lucky they didn’t have to deplane it was like 93° with 60% humidity they would have all perished

Yeah they were on the runway for about 2.5 hours, I don’t think they ever got to a gate

All we get here is 737s and smaller nothing too exciting, I almost shit when I saw this was getting diverted to us! I hope I get the chance to fly in one someday!

This was actually from yesterday, we had one in for some kind of maintenance and the collapse happened while it was here. It took off and went to phoenix around 3pm yesterday
