"Taken from Solid Ground"
John Barratt Patton of Chicago, Illinois writes,
"This picture is from a rock formation called Picacho Peak
in El Centro, California.  My buddy Josh is the NFO in the
first plane and explained that this was the entry for one of their MTRs.
The crew coordinated with one of their co-workers to drive three hours
then make the 30-minute rock climb so that he could take
this picture as they passed at 450 knots."
