Hello all,
Spent a hectic day and a half at KIAH a while back. Finally got through all the photos, and figured I'd share 'em with y'all and inspire you to get out to Texas someday!
IAH's parking garages allow for incredible access and views of the many terminals, both during the day and at night.
This bird was a former JAL passenger bird that was slated to be scrapped. Atlas jumped in and saved her. I later found out that this was the first photo of her with her new livery
Unfortunately the weather didn't quite cooperate 100% of the time (so little light we were shooting on a tripod at 3PM ).
How does a plane get this dirty?
One of the best locations puts you right above a busy regional jet/turbo-prop area. Lots of Q400s and ERJ's for sure
I'm yet to come up with a suitable caption for this one...
If 777LR's are your thing, IAH gets two of them in a 10 minute window.
Depending on the direction of operations, you are perfectly situated to get that touchdown shot, smoke and all.
It's also a great place to shoot the elusive 757-300. They sure do look odd when you are used to -200s.

-300
I had been hunting a Cathay 747 for almost 2 years. While she's only a freighter, it still counts as it's a BCF
IAH at night is far more exciting than IAH during the day for sure.
I hope you enjoyed the set! If you're ever looking for an airport to hit, maybe give IAH a try. Although the weather prohibited it, they can get LHR/JFK style banking shots down there too.
