This was taken after my long-ago-posted flight attendant photo, just before her plane left the gate.

Pretty good shot of the N number taken from high in the Tropicana as usual.

There is a red dot on a light pole at airplane-window height, which I will have to look into. It could easily be just a hot pixel due to me turning off dark-frame noise reduction on long exposures, so that I could shoot without a 15 second delay between 15 second exposures. Or maybe it is something more sinister. :-)

I used the "hat trick" of manually shuttering the exposure with paper beyond the end of the lens, a few seconds after the mirror stopped bouncing...so the exposure may have been 4 or 8 seconds rather than 15 in reality.
