Boeing 757-200 (N502EA) - KSFO - Another faded negative and fence job, as I was headed to SFO for Saturday AM photos, I could see the Eastern 757 rolling to 1-R for departure, and I think I invented 'road rage' on this one..I punched it up to about 95mph to make the Millbrae Ave off from from 101 cutting people off, California stopped the off ramp, tailgated some poor grandma headed to the Terminal passed on the right nicely and made the SFO Millbrae Ave Airpark as a United Airlines 727 powered up for take off, Eastern 757 was powering up to position and hold. Luckily back then Saturday AMs at the parking lot were not full. I skid into the slot, I knew I'd miss the shot if I tried to get the 8ft ladder up to clear the fence ( tick tock tick tock) and of course no hold, as clear 28LR landing pattern, nothing so the Eastern powers up and all I could do was stand on the pickup bed railing and snap a few photos.
