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.

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.
