LOL... figures! "Which way do the planes land?"

well when we got out there they were on the 22's, so he was not sure he was going to get a landing shot. I explained the runway change was coming and the plane would land right in front of us, but he pointed his camera toward the 13R side. He eventually figured everything out.

Nice job of making the best of the weather Eric, sometimes a dreary grey day can still yield Great Stuff, you just proved that !

Good stuff Eric. The benefit of the clouds kept the aircraft from being overly backlit.

Nice shots, glad you got those wacky Germans straightened out!

[cowens727]

Utterly fantastic set....the head-on b&w as she's towed to the gate is just jaw dropping, it really shows off the "girth units" of this beast...thank you for sharing these images!

Nice shots Eric! I love how only the two inboards have reverse!

Interesting reverse(no pun intended) of the Il-62's, where only the outboard Soloviev's have reverser buckets
