Here's the Schenectady County Airport as seen from my window seat taking off out of ALB this afternoon. This is 2 miles from home, but I couldn't quite get a picture of my house. We're looking mostly east here. I pass by opposite sides of the airport morning and evening on my commute, but don't get to see so much of the winding Mohawk River hidden behind the trees.
At top right is Freeman's Bridge; the big white building at 3 o'clock is the Glenville Wal-Mart. At 7 o'clock is the old Glenville K-Mart and if the picture went further down you'd see Route 50 intersect Route 146, which diagonally crosses the lower left corner of the photo. In the large version (click on the photo) you can also see several Air National Guard planes parked on a bright white patch of pavement. Some of these planes fly missions to Antarctica.

without your dutiful devotion to photography, I'd never have known that the Albany airport runways make a giant 'A'
That shot should September in the calendar for airport managers.
A is for airport!
That's a beautiful shot by the way.
