Thanks for commenting , I think its only able to use 30-35 airports worldwide , not sure if thats one of them:confused:

Nice shots, Last I heard there were only 5 airports in the US that can handle it because of the weight. Runways would need to be reinforced.

man, what a big bird

[Eagle]

Nice shots. #2 and 7 rock. Are the the full shot or did you do some cropping?

[kster]

The last shot is great and provides some perspective on the size of this beast.

[PhotosGuy]

Great angle on the 1st one! Looks like a "Marauder shot". ;)

Cheers and yea I hope they sort their business out , this beast is a real sight and too nice to flop due to underlying issues.

Thanks Frank , I thank the pilot for the angle , he sure chucked it around . Cant be a " Marauder shot" though Its not cropped for the close up sans wings:p
