KSFO Spotting, from the Tarmac!!!

Postby BigTruck » Sun Feb 22, 2009 11:14 pm

Got lucky this weekend, landed a cool spotting position, unfortunately it was a stormy weekend here in San Francisco, and water kept getting on my lense, plus I don't have much experience with photography in these conditions so sorry if they are lousy shots, but I wasn't about to pass this oppurtunity up!

Wow, nice shots! Lucky to have been able to get out there! That United 744 looks great in those new colors.
My specs... A hard drive, motherboard, graphics card, some memory, a keyboard, mouse, and monitor - in other words, nothing special.

Hell yeah, Sarge. I've been itching to get airside at JFK for months now. United's new colors still make me want to... Image

Why is both 747's and 777 of United not at a gate? :-?

Not a great day for flying in the Bay Area. Of course I live about an hour or so from SFO, nice shots 8-)

Nice shots. It's a shame about the bad weather though. At leat you get some nice water jets off the planes though.
