Global Rotation, 441 Flyby, Charleston

[threeholerglory]

While I was on a business trip in Charleston, we took some time to do a little photography. The 441 is the plane I fly. I must apologize in advance, but the crew specifically requested I remove tail numbers before posting any shots. That said, I have also promised not to share the owner/operator information. Needless to say, it belongs to a very large, powerful company. Enjoy!

If you're ever in Charleston, SC...you HAVE to check out East Battery Street at sunrise!

finally, my favorite shot to date...just after the wingtip went over my head (if i stood up I probably wouldn't be alive to make this post!) the jetblast hit me with a hell of a lot of dust from the new concrete runway...thankfully there were no rocks!!
