Notes:

VS18 from Newark gracefully looming over the threshold of 27R not long before sunset, banking slightly to the left in the stiff crosswind this evening. The low setting sun illuminating the N1 fans nicely and causing the (evidently pilot in command!) first officer raise himself in his seat to see the runway ahead better
