Initially, I had headed over to the east side to go out and snap them all while they were on the ramp, but as I approached the airport I saw the props were already turning. Since they would be departing on 16R, I decided to position on the west side next to Taxiway Alpha because that would put me very close to the intersection of 16R-34L and 7-25 where they would be rotating and going airborne; thus, I would be able to get excellent closeup clicks. That worked out great for me when they actually took off; however, when they taxied out on Lima (seen here), my position meant that I was shooting across three taxiways and both parallel runways and the heat waves rising up from all that pavement and open ground resulted in a bit of Q degradation.
