Looks like this one flies for Ukraine. If this is supposed to make it less visible, fail.

Damn, I delete my photos with bad heat haze. Might have to upload stinker sometime - grin! Good on ya John for another insight.

That's far more reasonable than just 'oops, we forgot'. Thanks Robin.

Nit pickers keep to yourselves. Why can't you just enjoy a great photo? Brian gives us some great shots. That's what I want to see.

That pm light is crazy. Well used in a great series of pics.

Would love to be in that location. Great shot John.

That is so much better than good - that livery is stunning, great photo.

Nice looking plane. Great shot to compliment it.

Brian Buckley - BRAVO times 3!!! Great picture. Thank you for the details. And I agree with your remark to the other individual. If I was a fussy poster, I could pick on the date format as it isn't as commonly used in the States. But, the world doesn't revolve around me and I can easily interpret the information.

It was a great to see UPS order so many new 747-8 Freighters, but I'm still saddened that Boeing decided phase out production. Given the number of recent 747-400 retirements, I hope we will see a good number of P2F conversions. With the flood of retirements, aircraft valuations must be lower than the pre-COVID business environment. As others have said, the Queen of the Skies is one fo the most beautiful aircraft ever put in service.

Low fuel, light cargo, HIGH PITCH ATTITUDE!

Climbs like a Banshee!!!!
The windscreen visibility out of the DC-10/MD-11 series aircraft is the best
Superb shot.
My gosh, love this photograph and aircraft!
Written on 22/09/2020 by ROBERT MILLS JR
Very well done.
The photographer and his tribute are simply superb!

Maybe those guys up in Alaska can use her for decades to come.
I sure hope so.
Thank you!
Superb photograph!

I remember my USAF days when the C-17 was referred to as the Airline Training Aircraft; because, the flight deck was reportedly so similar to commercial aircraft.
True?
Looks like this is a Chartered 747 with the livery being Atlas.
Written on 22/09/2020 by ROBERT MILLS JR
At least we still have one passenger 747-400 still flying.
That is wonderful to me!
So, it looks like this 747-400 had its last flight on 09.17.2020, this writing as of 09.22.2020?
Written on 22/09/2020 by ROBERT MILLS JR
Hope it is still flying.
Can't stand the thought of never flying commercial again the 747s.
Just heart breaking!!!!!
Great comment by Paul Kavanagh - Love it!
Written on 22/09/2020 by ROBERT MILLS JR
Loved flying as a pax in the Metro.
I'd sit up front if possible to watch the pilots working the yokes, etc.
Really a superb photograph!!
The "sunglasses" effect windscreen is particularly popular with me!
Written on 22/09/2020 by ROBERT MILLS JR
Love the 787-900 with its extreme range and efficiency.
What will those engineers do next?
Oh wait, I have a suggestion: 100% electric engines that extract electrical power right out of the thin air, just like Nicola Tesla did more than 100 years ago to power his automobile for forty years without ever using a drop of petroleum.
FAT CHANCE OF THAT HAPPENING ANYTIME SOON!
Yet another long-range aircraft with excessive thrust capabilities.
Written on 22/09/2020 by ROBERT MILLS JR
Love it and its capabilities.
Superb shot of likely of one of the two oldest 747s still flying.
Written on 22/09/2020 by ROBERT MILLS JR
Note the updated engine cowlings, if not also upgraded engines.
Unbelievable that the DC-9 Series 10 is still flying commercially!

There you go Douglas Aircraft - built to last and take a beating.
Also really appreciate the operator keeping the Douglas legacy alive.
Thank you Jake!!!!
Well, Robert Cowling, agreed, fascinating time to study.

Moreover, the skulls of Rah and his son King Tut were permitted to be DNA tested, and, the objective findings were that the DNA/skulls did not originate from any genome on this planet; and, were defacto extra-terrestrial.
Be sure to read the book Selected by Extraterrestrials.
Would love to spend some quality time with those Nordic Secretaries!
NOW THAT'S A GREAT SHOT!!!

Thought UAL was bucking the trend for a second or two.
EXCELLENT PHOTOGRAPH!
Looks a little late in the day for this aircraft to be wearing the custom fit aircraft sunglasses.
Written on 22/09/2020 by ROBERT MILLS JR
Such a beautiful photograph of this well-styled aircraft, especially the front part of the aircraft.
Mostly agree Cole Neill about the millennials apparently typing all in lower case; and, it being improper English writing.
Written on 22/09/2020 by ROBERT MILLS JR
As for Brian, do agree also that some information is better than none at all, and, all essential information is present to include the seldom seen DATE OF PHOTOGRAPH - BRAVO!
Meanwhile, the photograph is absolutely superb Brian - THANK YOU!
Yes, Michael McGuire, the 747 line is the most beautiful and desirable, subsonic, commercial aircraft conceived to date, IMHO.
Written on 22/09/2020 by ROBERT MILLS JR
The 747 cargo versions and the few 747SPs will be around for perhaps many more decades.
The 747-800 Cargo and Air Force One versions should last even longer.
Bravo!
Excellent photo and even better comment above by Roland Hebert!
Written on 22/09/2020 by ROBERT MILLS JR
I loved the Merlin Metroliners, and, rode in both the 800 HP and 1,000 HP versions.
Use to fly in them out of Fresno, CA (FAT) regularly to connect in either SFO or LAX to go XC to the east coast.
They were to best to me of all of the commuters; and, yes, NOISY - wore attenuating headsets as I still do always.
Seldom do such aircraft use full power on their take-off runs, so, to extend engine life and conserve fuel, usually if their load factors are less than maximum.
Written on 22/09/2020 by ROBERT MILLS JR
Such is obvious to me from my regular flights on SWA especially, etc., with the partially advanced throttles, because, all of the center seats being open per COVID19 guidelines.
I've been on fully loaded jumbos that spool-up to 100% power before brake release, so, to get off the ground in high density altitude/load factor conditions.
I been on a TIA DC-8-63 circa 08/08/1975 that spooled up to maximum before brake release, and, we barely survived the take-off out of CPH (Copenhagen, DN), barely avoiding striking the opposite-end approach landing lights.
I do also remember that flight the step-climbing all the way to cruise altitude for 62 minutes to 32,000'.
Great photograph of the most popular jumbo lineage forever, the 747.
Awesome report by Skylab72 above regarding this aircraft.

The eye of Rah?

Ahh, but it's actually Horus! Horus is the Egyptian winged God of the Sun. So cool!!! Ancient Egypt was a very superstitious area. They had numerous 'Gods', for everything in their world. But to an uneducated race, they have to try to view their world in a way they can comprehend. The Sun comes up every morning, so it has to be from a God. The crops are planted, they are gathered, they survive, all at the whim of a God. I don't know how much farther advanced we are today.
But that time is fascinating to study. Just amazing...
Daddy, can I have both of them for my birthday and Christmas celebrations.
