Boeing 747-400 (N465MC)

This beautiful Atlas Air 747-446 N465MC seen here at Des Moines having just picked up the Iowa State Cyclones to face Norte Dame in the Camping World Bowl in Orlando. Larger aircraft get use for bowl game charters as the entire team, support staff, cheerleaders, etc are allowed to go on the one group flight. The flight departed 1 hour & 3 minutes late as Atlas Air 8786 on Runway 23. For the first time I spotted at the North Parking Garage, and pretty much the entire DSM spotting squad was there as well!
