Being at the right place at the right time and being able to capture the moment is a real gem for an aviation enthusiast like myself. Neptune Aviation Services P-2 N443NA was about to depart when we arrived at Phoenix Gateway Airport. Standing next to the fence we were noted by the ground crew who allowed us to have a closer look during start up and taxi of the Neptune The result of which was a nice series of pictures and a fantastic up close and personal experience of a Neptune in motion.
