A few we don't see anymore

Being sick this weekend, I had a chance to go through some old files, and I found a few that some might find interesting.
I only wish I was able to shoot more back then.
Please remember this...
These were all taken in 2003, about 2 weeks before I was furloughed from UAL.
These were all taken with a very crappy 2MP Sony point and shoot camera.
Topaz Denoise3 helped get rid of a lot of hurt.

John, POST MORE! I love the J41. Somthing about those lines and colors. Seeeeexxxxyaaaayyy

I miss the Do' Jets badly. :(

Thanks for sharing, John! If you have more, please post them!

I remember the DO jets very well - about the time you took these John I used to commute from STL to CVG to CAE on DL and the majority of flights that were CVG-CAE were the DO jet - I used to enjoy flying on them!

Here's four more. I have a few old prints (late 1980's) which if I ever get my butt in gear and get them scanned in, will have a few more surprises.

It's really a shame those 757 special schemes are gone; Spirit of Columbus; Nevada Battle Born; Arizona Cardinals...

I'll also never forget getting off an AA MD80 at STL in 2007 and seeing two Champion Air 722's sitting at the D gates...made my 5 hour stopover nearly worthwhile. :D

I guess in the age of cookie cutter pictures in aviation photography its sometimes nice to see something that doesn't like its just another shot.

I'm glad you feel that way, now I don't mind posting these from the Pan Am Terminal Rooftop in July 1982.

Maybe someone here with a good handle on photoshop can edit some of those for you, if I wasn't a noob at PS I'd love to give it a try.

TAROM IL-62 WOW that's one sexy subject :mrgreen:


ps: great stuff John, I'd also love to see your prints from the 1980s. It's amazing how much things change, 2003 wasn't even that long ago.
