I made a trip in the USA (DC, VA, NC, TN, MS, AR, LA, AL and FL). Although this wasn't a spotting trip, I saw a lot of aircraft which I want to share with you. Since there isn't a "tripreport"-forum I'll post it here in the tattle lounge since I'd like to combine my photos with my logs. (Hope the moderators are fine with that
)We headed for Washington Dulles on the 28th of July with Icelandair, that of course meant we had to transit at Keflavik. The following was seen at Keflavik Intl.

11. But the next two made me even happier
