At 7 pm, it was still very bright in North Texas. Thus, it was fortuitous that I had my camera with me and looking up. The crescent moon was barely visible but I was expecting it would be at the vicinity of view. To my pleasant surprise, the airplane was flying past the moon to allow for this lucky shot. During this pandemic, it is rare to see airplanes when normally at this time of the evening they will be lining to land at Dallas/Fort Worth.
