Yeah ,me too. I actually had my camera in hand (shooting an event) when I saw it approach. Too bad I had a 24-70 mounted instead of my 100-400. >:(

We were in the viewing area for the airport until 2:45pm and then went to the Airetel Hotel but its last flight ended at 3:45 or so and they canceled the last one
