A local Lynk Air Avanti coming into Paine Field might attract my interest, but I would probably skip it.  However, if it is going to show up about ten minutes before sunset and the conditions are lovely, that is enough to tempt me out in the evening.  (It doesn’t hurt that the journey time is really short at that time of day.)  I got myself in position and waited for the arrival from the north.

I could just about make out the plane as it approached from over the sound, and it flew a quite tight base leg which meant it was clearly visible above the trees.  Then the buzz became apparent as it lined up on final.  I was being brave with shutter speeds since the Avanti deserves shots that make it look fast.  A rapid burst of activity and it was down.  It didn’t hang around on the ground too long continuing on its way about forty minutes later, but the light was done by then, so I headed home instead of waiting for it.
