BOEING 767-300 (PH-OYI) - My second post into the FA gallery today is a click of TFLs sole remaining B763 in their fleet, PH-OYI, taxiing directly toward my spotting location as it arrives at Reno carrying the participants of the 2015 Gumball 3000 Stockholm to Las Vegas car race.  The Arke (Arkefly) charter parked on the Atlantic ramp.  The second passenger to emerge was Matt Pritchard ("Dirty Sanchez") and, fortunately for the members of the high school marching band and the many young children that met this aircraft, Matt had put his clothing back on prior to stepping out on the stairs so none of us had to endure any scenes similar to the photographically-documented (and now highly-publicized) actions he had performed during the flight.

Mark C and Mathias >> Thank you very much for your comments, guys. :-)
BTW, Mark, when it turned to swing around and shut down, the left wingtip was only double-digit feet away from me. It was a spotter's "rush" for me, that's for sure. :-)
Oh what a beauty!

Another excellent shot, Gary! Your shot inspire my photography! I'm wondering what this 763 was doing at Reno. Photo seen in Daily Newsletter!

Thank you, Michael Z. I appreciate your comment very much.
Dwight, that is a wonderfully kind statement. Thank you very, very much for expressing such a feeling.
TFL was the charter airline that brought the Gumball 3000 race car divers here from Amsterdam so the race could be continued from San Francisco to its finish in Las V. (Punch up Gumball 3000 on Google and all sorts of articles will pop up.) The race cars were absolutely beyond fabulous! Most of the people on this flight were, also. However, it was on this flight, just a couple hours before it landed here in this snap, that "movie star" Matt Pritchard (Dirty Sanchez) distinguished himself by stripping naked and then urinating on actor Dolph Lundgren. He then passed out on the floor of the galley and fouled himself while he was unconscious. (There are tons of pics on the web of him doing all this.) Fortunately for us here, he had been reclothed and had his pants changed before he disembarked. (And this is the type of person some folks call a "star." Geesh, eh?)
