Boeing 747-400 (N668US)

Tremendous capture, John.

Excellent shot John!

WRONG AIRPLANE! THIS IS A 400 NOT A 200. DELTA DOES NOT HAVE 747-200'S.

Excellent! Do they do a runway inspection after takeoff looking for the chunks of ice/snow that beast kicks up?

thanks Rich. that always happens. it's an input glitch on their back end. thanks for noticing that minor detail but did you like the picture ?

fantastic shot! 5 stars!

Nice shot!, Too Bad Delta is retiring these beautiful birds.

Love the snow being kicked up!

thanks Japanjeff !!

damn shame these magnificent planes will be fewer in number with scheduled airlines. When these 747's came out, National Airlines had a pair of them, and I was number 3 or 4 behind one of them going into Miami International Airport. I stayed above the approach profile for 9-right and it seemed that I was water skiing behind a whale. A view that is memorable still to this day. These have become obsolete but still fly well. These defined comfort and class until the A380 came along.

Wow, I would freeze to death planespotting in the winter, congrats for not getting frostbite XD, I live in NH

Brrrrrrrrrr!

I am probably wrong, but I was not aware the Delta Airlines ever had any 747's in there fleet. Unless possibly it was a cargo configuration.

Speedtrap, they were inherited from Northwest Airlines when they merged.

Nine still flying for Delta (N662US, N665US, N666US, N667US, N668US, N669US, N670US, N673US, and N674US). The most recent flight of N662US (the one shown in my folder) took it to Narita.

Delta was one of the original operators of the classic Boeing 747. In 1970, Delta ordered 5 747-100 series, and operated the type from September, 1970 to April, 1977.

You are one truly gifted photographer John!!!

Amazing Picture

John - that's a fantastic shot. I just picked up a cut out segment of the fuselage from that jet with a mirror in the window - and I was looking for a picture of the section in her former glory - and you nailed it. Much appreciated!
