    United Arab Emirates (Dubai Air Wing) 747-400 KSWF Pics

    Greetings,
    I went to SWF to get a shot of the UAE 747-400 (A6-HRM). I have been trying to get a shot of the UAE B744s for several years now. They always come in during the turn of the new year. So this time I was able to get up there and get it. Thank Gordon for confirming that one was at SWF- Much appreciated! I am sure Gordon will have some great night shots.




    It compliments my 747SP shot very well! :)

    Nice shots, Senga. I'm glad you caught the light!

    Here are a few from this evening:







    My first night shots with my new D90 and I am VERY impressed with how they came out.

    Bonus shot from earlier in the day:

    Nick,
    I remember that day. I was on my move to Florida when you called and let me know it just landed at JFK. if course last year they only brought in the 737 and the years before they didn't come in it seems. What a nice way to send 2009 (or is it over?) Nice shots Gordon. It really cleared up and those stars are really standing out.

    Pretty shots. My favorite of the close up shots was the one in this page:

    inbound-incoming-arrivals-to-your-local-airports-t17579s75.html

    I drooled

    So why couldn't they bring THIS to the UN instead of the stupid BBJ?

    Thanks for the comments, guys.

    Mario, the 747 was scheduled for UN week however I guess plans changed.
