Woke up and 6:00 AM and it was raining.    Decided not to go    Have to wait to get a weather sealed camera

Same here Midnight, I didn't want to camera to get all wet.

I went.  It rained on us real good.

Will post a few pictures.  About 40-50 people there in the rain.

Wow you really are brave Kevin    Did your camera get wet?

[aero-engineer]

Not too much.  My brother in law was holding an umbrella which helped a little.

I kept the camera under my jacket until she was rolling down the runway.

30 sec of water can't hurt too much.

lol That was smart taking someone else to hold an umbrella.

Here's the best.  Quick and dirty for you all.

I shot it with a D80, in full Auto mode, Tokina ATX 80-400mm telezoom (no VR).
Some quick basic crop and level adjustments also.

Aero, dude you are hard-core I almost went but it is 12 miles to LAX from my house. In the rain it would take like an hour to get there:'(

[NikonGuy]

Just killing time..... 

[Josh]

A little cluttered with text imo. But cool.

[NikonGuy]

Yeah bucause I resized the pic     but I printed out some cool post cards.     way better looking than the one on the site.
