Well, after going to all of the trouble of borrowing my friend's 600mm 4L, attaching a 2x teleconverter (giving me a 1200mm f8) with the ideal of capturing AF#38 (A330-200) on approach to 08R during sunset, guess what happens?.....yep....different runway! With, IAH being dominiated 5 active runways, it is usually a crap shoot as to getting what you want, where you want it and what you actually get. Suffice it to say, as AF #38 landed on 08L, (out of useful range even for a 1200mm), I once again settle for another trusty IAH standby, the, 737. Sigh....an A330 would have looked so nice there.
