The moon was perpendicular to and just about at glideslope level over at the local airstrip. I had hoped to get a nice, fat sillouette of someone landing but the only approach was an awful "rag it over the fence" and they flew under the moon.

I did get this by "accident" however...

Jay, I think you actually captured the one and only crash landing on the moon! Kudos!

I think it's a new route offered by Southwest Airlines...

Dude that's SO cool.

Pretty lucky catch when you consider the dynamics. It's a really big sky up there surrounded by a whole lot more space.

I'm already thinking about where I can go to get the moon behind commercial jets that are inbound to Sky Harbor Intl... ;)

Captain Oveur: What?
Tower voice: Flight 2-0-9'er cleared for vector 324.
Roger Murdock: We have clearance, Clarence.
Captain Oveur: Roger, Roger. What's our vector, Victor?
Tower voice: Tower's radio clearance, over!
Captain Oveur: That's Clarence Oveur. Over.
