Heh - yes, in the larger version you can clearly see the plane wobble! Thanks for the information!

Airplane traversed the sky from Northwest to East. Probably heading for Denver International, which is 80 miles away. I watched the plane hit air turbulence... common over the front range of the Rockies. My Gitzo tripod has a center pole with a convenient hook at the bottom. I hang my camera bag on that hook to weigh down the tripod. It was a night of periodic gusty winds.
