I made a trip in the USA (DC, VA, NC, TN, MS, AR, LA, AL and FL). Although this wasn't a spotting trip, I saw a lot of aircraft which I want to share with you. Since there isn't a "tripreport"-forum I'll post it here in the tattle lounge since I'd like to combine my photos with my logs. (Hope the moderators are fine with that )
We headed for Washington Dulles on the 28th of July with Icelandair, that of course meant we had to transit at Keflavik. The following was seen at Keflavik Intl.

Kind regards,
