HZ-AFAS MD11 EWR 5/13

[njgtr82]

This has to be my catch of the year so far. I saw the MD11 was inbound as SVA008 and thought it would be in the airline colors so this was a very nice suprise. They arrived around 7:15 and were on their way out to Nice, France by 10. I hope the Saudi's keep it up as they havn't been here much lately until this week.

Great shots. I almost peed my pants when I saw her at CDG last month, couldn't get a shot of her though.

Love the night shots Bill, I have been really admiring this bird every time I see a photo of her on a.net. What a beauty. Any idea what AFAS stands for ?

Great Shots! I've gotta say that in my opinion that particular MD-11 is the best looking a/c in the world.

[Three Forty]

Thanks guys,
Ron, I have no idea what it may stand for. But the Kingdom Holding 747 that was here last weekend had names on the nose right where the AFAS is so maybe initials?

Interesting. Why is the prince allowed to have women working for him?

[PhilDernerJr]

VERY happy someone caught this on our side of the pond. That is one of the most photogenic planes out there.

Good work!

Great work Bill! EWR is locked down with you there these days. :D

Who knows, with all those Saudi VIP flights through EWR, maybe at some point one will need tech attention and they'll bring in the Saudi airline schemed C-130 with the part(s) for you to shoot as well.
