    Dreamlifter at MIA 2/18

    Got my kids trained well. My oldest son was dropping a buddy off at Miami International when he saw this huge plane and snapped a quick pic. He txted me "What the hell is this". It was the Boeing 747 Dreamlifter. That I'd like to see.
    Anyone spotting there today with better pics?

    It is very cool!
    The three most common expressions in aviation are, "Why is it doing that?", "Where are we?" and "Oh Crap".

    She has been there for quite a while - I got a shot back in January (http://www.jetphotos.net/viewphoto.php?id=7295171) - all the Dream Lifters are basically on the ground for a while so that Boeing can catch up with the deliveries of the 787's - as soon as the backlog starts to go out, then they will start flying again...

    Mark, they are flying regularly... I get an alert every time one of them takes off or files a flight plan :-) At least once a day.. usually KCHS PANC and KBFI of course ... once in a while they hit an Air Force Base or two like Pease but they are definitely not grounded. JFK once a month at least

    Derf's shots are actually at JFK, that is Hangar 19 in the backround. There are 4 Dreamlifters, the one in MIA will probably be there for a bit
