15 Seconds to Touchdown!

With the Washington Monument looming in the distance, a steady stream of jetliners roar into a busy Reagan National Airport. Gravelly Point Park allows one to almost touch the planes as they make their final approach. This jet touched down just 15 seconds after this photo was taken. It is a real rush to experience this in person!!!
