    IAD 12/13 Ramp Photos

    Today was just about a beautiful day for anything in Washington, D.C. I just happened to be so lucky to get out on the ramp at Dulles for a few hours this afternoon and was absolutely blown away by the light! Enjoy. :)

    Beautiful shots. I think the candy red that Virgin Atlantic uses now is my favorite color and you captured it well!

    Thanks, guys! I was really happy with how they turned out. I've worked at the airport before and have kept a few contacts there, which certainly comes in handy. ;)

    Phil, the NA 763 is among three that are based at Dulles now and replaced the Vision Air 767-200s. It's very questionable as to what and who they operate for now...

    I miss that company.

    Can I post some of mine from that day? Not all of us are lucky enough to get on the ramp! ;)

    Nice shots regardless, John! The light was perfect. Nice catch on the German Air Force plane and the United Star 777, didn't get a chance to photograph either.

    Is that a C-160? That's an amazing catch on this side of the pond!

    Phil, the German Air Force has a base at Dulles. This means that C-160's, the Luftwaffe tanker A310's, and the A340-300 are common visitors to IAD. Though it's still pretty unique to see them here.
