Photography by Michael Gordon. The drone flight required FAA authorization since it is in Class B airspace. That in turn requires a Remote Pilot Certificate. I had authorizations for two Saturdays. The first was rained out and the second, October 5th, was perfect. Approaches to Salt Lake City International Airport was from the north; taking off to the south climbing rapidly and usually turning. No aircraft passed overhead for the hour I was on site despite ADS-B showing many aircraft to the east, west and north. Wind from the south 3 to 5 mph, perfect visibility (30 miles or so).
While making the 360 degree orbit, I did not notice it at the time but the TRAX is seen at Fairbourne Station.
The following pages constitute a slide show and photo selector.
The slide show itself is intended for sequential viewing of a collection of photographs.
Each page includes in its title bar, and underneath, the file name of the photo. This is useful when corresponding to someone about the photo.
To advance to the next photo: Clicking on the photo advances you to the next photo unless you are on a thumbnail or zoomed photo, in which case clicking it takes you to the 'normal' size.
Below each photo is a set of links (buttons) to advance, return, or exit the slide show.
To download an image: Right click the image and choose "save image as."
Each photo includes a button to ZOOM to a larger size. This size is intended to fill the screen for closer inspection, or for saving as a computer 'wallpaper', or for download to your disk for use in newsletters and other medium-resolution needs.
Each photo includes a button to zoom HUGE to the largest size, usually the cameras maximum size.
A thumbnail gallery is available for visually selecting photos. If you choose this option, clicking a thumbnail puts you into the slide show at the photo chosen; from there the slide show proceeds with the remainder of the show.
