The Taxiways are definitely too small :-)

I was going under the Belt Pkwy exit taxiways next to British Air and this China Air 747 was crossing. I stuck my camera out the window and snapped a few shots... I was surprised to see the engines hanging outside the taxiways :-)

it's to give passing motorists access to the awesome sounds of those engines! :biggrin:

I see a 747 on a Taxiway about 50 feet from me and I get all emotional and excited... makes me want to reach out and touch it. I am so jealous of NLovis and even Brandon who get so close to them. I have to say when at KALB, the taxiway is close and it felt GREAT to be so close... and that was a lowly 737. I can only imagine how a 747 must feel at places that allow you to be within 24mm focal length distance!
