Not a good start to the journey, my flight out of Boise's Gowen Field International Airport into San Francisco was delayed by 3 hours due to reported "Operational Delays" - what ever that means.

It really wasn't a big deal for me as my flight out of 'Frisco leaves just before midnight, so it gave me no stress at all, and with the Idaho Air National Guard hangers across the runway, I got to play with my 100-400 millimeter lens.
