I was getting ready to takeoff from Peter O'Knight airport in Tampa, FL when I noticed a giant cruise ship blocking the departure end of Runway 4. The airport is on a peninsula, with the end of the runway only a few feet away from the waterway. It would have been nice of the ship captain to announce his gargantuan presence over the CTAF, but then again, it's also hard to miss. Copyrighted photo by Mujahid Abdulrahim.
