Nicely done Manny.
Great shot Manny.
Where were you? I was in the Port Authority maintenance parking lot and got the same shot, will post later.
Did you hear the UA pilot on 22R? He was given clearance for take off but when he heard that the 787 was landing he requested to sit in position for 30 seconds to watch it land.

I heard that! It was so cool.Quote:

Yup, tons of it... JPG reduced and sharpened... will happen every time. ...and of course haters will hate :tongue:
Thanks guys... Unfortunately, I was listening to Approach and then when they switched to tower, I tuned out...
AJ, was that you in the Mercedes? I think I saw someone else shooting but again, I was really scared where I was and ran out shot and ran in and took off quickly!
I was in the black Explorer. Of course an FJC Security car drove up as the the 787 was on short final. He didn't notice a thing.

Nice shot Manny!
Good job guys getting out and risking EWR!
RE: The UAL pilot requesting to hold, everything stopped in Toronto for the 787. What a showstopper, props top the pilot, i'd do the same!
First time I believe I've ever heard the callsign "Experimental" over my scanner
That thing was absolutely beautiful! Airbus eat your damn heart out. Gonna pull out the Jack Daniels Green Label tonight

After landing at Newark

Parked outside one of the Continental hangars. Wouldn't be surprised if some flights were delayed this morning because it seemed like every ramper, fueler, security guard, etc, was surrounding the plane.
There were three threads on this so I merged them for housekeeping. Please post photos in this one.
Awesome work guys.
I wish we'd had some access at YYZ. Ah well.
Rumor is there might have been some ATC guys as well, can't confirm nor deny at this time!Quote:

Nice shots Manny!!!

Nicely done gentlemen! I was there in spirit with you, unfortunately I had to fly down to Richmond (RIC) this week for work. Looks like you guys had some great conditions while i was in the snow here for a good part of the day.
Thank you sir... but I wish I was as fortunate as Bill S. :smile:Quote:

Great stuff, guys. Love you pre-touchdown shot, Bill!!!
I know we did this with the A380, and maybe I just like the 787 more, but what was it like for you guys to first see and shoot a new plane like that for the first time?
I like how everyone on the ramp shows up for stuff like this...the inner geek comes out for those that aren't even enthusiasts otherwise. Shows the level of the event's importance.
I was fortunate to attend a viewing of her in the hanger yesterday. It was a spur of the moment invite and Newark being Newark, I didn't think it wise to bring my DSLR, was I ever wrong! I had my P&S with me though. What an incredible experience, once in a lifetime for me anyway. What an impressive liner! Here are some decent shots:

I kept asking Cary "Is that it? is that it?" Although it is unmistakable to see those wings flex like they do... very unique indeed. Felt weird to see it finally but not truly enjoy it as I was busy shooting it :tongue:
Nice shots by everyone! Although I have to say, shooting at EWR when the aircraft are landing from the north in the morning, is my least favorite challenge locally.
But anyway, aside from being another "big twin" there are things I do like visually about the 787 - the nose for one is reminiscent of the comet and caravelle! But the wings and engines are great too!

BOEING 787 (787-800), N7878X, at EWR, New Jersey, USA. March 2012 by Tom Turner - SeaTeamImages / AirTeamImages, on Flickr
Tom, finally someone else says that it looks like the Caravelle!! I agree.
I thought the first time at VCV would be hard to beat but I was wrong. It just got better and better. The 3rd time I slept in my car in a parking lot there and when the sun started to rise I got in position and put the radio on. I didn't have to wait long and I think the fact I was in such a remote place made it better. No car traffic or other people around, the sound of the reverse thrusters was all to be heard. Then it parked for a few mins and turned and just spooled up and departed and did so many other nice things. Did testing the rest of the morning.Quote:

I felt like the damn paperazzi though, laying low in my car till the last second before jumping out, getting the shots, then flooring it out of there. All those Starsky & Hutch episodes finally paid off
Awesome shots from inside guys, and Bill love how you managed to get the downtown skyline too!Quote:

Hi guys,
I made the mad dash up from DC to catch it this morning:

Only Cary and I were out there this morning, which surprised me.
Many thanks to Senga for real time updates and navigation assistance and also Matthew for updates :)
Just met Nick out at the beach at JFK too!
Sunil
Great departure shot Sunil!
