Cool pics. Just out of interest, what is inside the little bump on the nose? Or is it classified?

Ive only seen a 747 twice in my life (sad right?) And that girl was the particular bird on both occasions. So I guess if your only going to see one that's the one to see.

They built the runways in Midland long enough to accommodate even the big antonovs ( we had one here several years ago bring in giant oil drilling pieces I believe the 225 if memory serves me correctly). That said, the biggest we ever see is 737's, and on occasion a C-5.

Same as on the E-4B and the IRIAF transport 747s
