Had plenty of time to fly but not to much time to post the shots.  So here is a few from 3 previous flights...Paris to Houston to Phoenix to Cleveland.

Lifting off from Paris.  (It was only after I landed and checked the status of the real flight that I found out it never left CDG due to the weather)

Final approch to IAH.

Pretty smooth landing.

Parked at the gate, engines shut down, and ready to unload.

Next day it was off to Phoenix.  All I have from this flight is landing shots.

Cleared to land...

Spotter shot.

Cleveland was my next stop.  Caught the red eye.  Took off around 01:15 and arrived at CLE about 07:00.

Climbing out into the night sky.

Think I will head for Newark sometime this weekend.  Not sure where I will go from there...Maybe back to Europe ;)

Great shots

But I don't like that 777 though.  Those engines are way oversized.

Thanks :)

I think a lot of that has to do with the angle.  Even on Anet they look huge sometimes and small others.  But GE-90 has around a 10.5 foot diameter....

And yes its a Meljet ;)  Other then shots i stuck inside the cockpit for everything but I'm now addicted to the 777 again :P  And the 737-800 is moving up on my list :)

Heading to Newark later today and then not sure...Possibly Tel Aviv ;)
