impressive. I wouldnt boo AA though, they might eat up one of your 737's in those massive 777 engines:) and they really are large enough.
Great shots, glad you take some time out of your day to bring us these.

Awesome shots!  

Just wondering -- given the hyper-security these days, could one get into trouble for taking pictures like these? (Even if one works at an airport ... presumably you do!)

I don't know about getting in trouble.  I think it depends on the airport.  I have heard mixed things from various airports.  I haven't been told I can't.  One day, I even drove out to the middle of the tarmac near the service road that runs parallel to a taxi-way and just sat there taking pics with a co-worker.  A cop drove by multiple times and never came over to stop us.

Not that I'd wish trouble on a fellow SimVer, but it bothers me a bit that he didn't at least confirm you were a legitimate employee and leave you to it...   also, I'd check the employee handbook for any mention of taking pictures, just to cover my keister, if I were you. Someday some hard-on might decide to nail you for that, if it's officially a no-no. That's a cool job you've got- be a shame to lose it over a (politically sensitive) technicality. Thanks for the pics, BTW...

Another BTW:I'm curious;  what's your next move- flying? A&P? Management? Something completely different? Or are you content  (can't say I'd fault you for that)?

By the way.  I find this rather funny.  When I first announced to you guys that I got the job, many of you said you'd be looking forward to pictures LOL.  I was concerned at the time about getting the opportunity to take pics out there, and I was concerned about getting in trouble.  Now I bring you guys pics, and now YOU are the ones concerned LOL.  How ironic!!   :P
