DE-ICING THE PLANE

DFW Airport

Okay, flight was supposed to leave at 9:00 this morning....didn't leave til 11:30, therefore, missing my connecting flight so now, I have a 4 hour layover here in Denver and won't get into Edmonton until 9:00 tonight. Oh well, at least I'm here and now just shooting people at the airport! This is a shot of the guy de-icing the plane before we took off.....the crap that he was shooting all over the plane caused the dirty window....never seen orange stuff sprayed before!

Canon EOS Digital Rebel XSi

Leave it to you to get a shot of a "hoser" on your way to Canada!

I'm glad to see you made it to the airport okay... I was thinking about you this morning and was a little worried about you driving on the ice to get there... be careful and I'll see you when you get back. Have fun and bring me a Canada shot glass!!!!!

A critical and dirty job. Great catch.

Best you fly into Edmonton in the dark anyway, that way the shock of cold-snow-winter will be greater in the morning ;-) Enjoy your Canadian travels. And a great out the window shot too!

Cool. Nobody's drinking Tang anymore, so they use it to de-ice the planes.

Nothing as much of a gamble as trying to fly north in the winter. Be safe and enjoy that trip.

Makes for a long day....hope the rest of your flight goes off without a hitch!

Is orange a Denver Bronco color? Ha ha!! I am so sorry to hear that your flight was delayed. Thankfully it wasn't cancelled altogether. The nice thing about photography, you can keep yourself amused for hours. Hope you get to Edmunton in time to relax and enjoy. Be safe!

I was wondering... glad you're in route.

Neat shot, Cindi. Welcome to Denver!

Trust you to shoot somebody with a gun ;-)

I'm glad you are making good use of your time with a few candids. Have a good flight.
