The Triumphant Conclusion (TDU) - Moose4 - 07-26-2006

Making a full Category III autoland onto runway 16R at a VERY foggy Sydney International to complete the Thunder Down Under tour. This pic was taken from near the PAPI lights (using Active Camera) right as I got the fifty-foot call. Now that's foggy!
