D-ANNA in NUE: Testing a Nikon Z fc and Nikkor Z DX 50-250mm f/4.5-6.3 VR combo

I recently splurged for a Nikkor Z DX 50-250mm f/4.5-6.3 VR lens to go with my Nikon fc. I mostly use it for casual photography, but I thought that paired with the lens, the camera would make a small and lightweight supplement to my main aircraft photography setup. I didn't have to wait long for an opportunity to put the combo to a real-world test. A Sundair Airbus A320-200 wearing a whimsical Katta macht Urlaub (Katter lemur goes on vacation) livery made its appearance in NUE.

Luck was definitely on my side this time, as the aircraft arrival was delayed, and it landed just before the rain hit the area. Better still, because of the delay, I came by bus just in time to photograph the airplane, so I didn't have to play the waiting game on the rooftop of the parking building.
