Southwest Airlines Herbert D. Kelleher Livery "Crowns" the Washington Monument — DCA Approach

Possibly the most precisely timed DCA shot you'll ever see: Southwest Airlines' golden Herbert D. Kelleher tribute livery on final approach, perfectly positioned so the Washington Monument's pyramid cap appears to crown the aircraft at the exact apex. Clear blue sky, razor-sharp focus, and a composition that simply cannot be replanned. A true once-in-a-lifetime aviation photograph.
