KDFW-25 November 2012

[NickPeterman]

Hey Guys,

Decided to give DFW one last go before heading back down to Austin, and I am glad I did! The light kept on getting better as the day wore on, the weather was great, and there were probably 10 photographers assembled in Founder's Plaza. Anyhow, I hope you enjoy!

How to keep that annoyingly low winter sun out of your face? Why taping a safety card in the window should do the trick!

Strange to see them on the 18s

After sharing with my Father that I thought he'd like the China Airlines Cargo livery, they treat me to this...

I find the registrations used for LH's A333s to be somewhat tragically evocative of a vulgar word, but here is D-AIKA, their first A333.

And finally, another Re-match with my LH MD-11 in perfect light!

Besides the US and the LH A333, it looks very similar to the typical JFK lineup :) Nice pics.

[NickPeterman]

Thanks Cary! For the sake of y'all and your sanity, I omitted the legions of MD-80s and Eagle ERJ's that descend on DFW, including at least 3 or 4 of the Pink Ribbon liveries in a 5 or 10 minute window it seemed like

Really nice, Nick!

Your conversation in the car with your dad about the 747 and what you got is too funny. I kept thinking what went through your father's mind when he sow the all white. He probably said I think I need to get this boy checked.

Great images. Superb quality and awesome light! Glad you won you re-match with the Lufty MD-11. Thanks for sharing!

[megatop412]

The usual high quality stuff from you sir, very nice. Beautiful weather, great overhead shot of Emirates

[NickPeterman]

Thank you all, it was a wonderful time!

Now I'm getting set for LAX and JFK in the next 6 weeks
