is it possible to have a mod just retitle this thread KBFI and then I will just keep posting in here instead of making a 100 new topics? Thanks!

Thanks for the comments. Almost caught up from yesterdays shoot. Not sure if you guys know what Crohn's Disease is but I have it and had a long night with a flareup so stuff is coming out a little out of order. If you don't know what it is this is a good read on it- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crohns_disease
But here are the latest!
One more from the delivery flight-


N529AS-


And getting ready to do a high speed-


Norwegian Air Shuttle-



Chopper 7-

And finally getting arounf to ZA004's picture!
A nice close up of the nose


The front half, I didn't care for this scheme at first but the more I see it the more I like it!-


A nice close up of the Trent 1000's that power this beauty!-


Taxi Past to do a high speed then takeoff finally!-


Turning off after the high speed-

[seahawks7757]

And finally for the takeoff!-


All gears off the ground finally for the first time since 02/24/10-



And as it is only the 2nd flight it took off w/gear down for as far as we could watch it as it flew away-

[NLovis]

As always nice shots

[seahawks7757]

And a UPS 767-300-



ATI DC-8-


Royal Australian Airforce 737-7ES Wedgetail-

[NLovis]

Sigh I want my UPS DC-8 shots back. Lost them when my phone got taken :(

[seahawks7757]

I'm sorry to hear that. I would love to see one of those painted in UPS colors!

[NLovis]

I'm sorry to hear that. I would love to see one of those painted in UPS colors!

Yea that scheme worked well with the DC-8

Alright time for another 787 update from Sunday!
Coming in with a nice X-Wind today, she looks pretty crabbing in-


He floated for a while. I thought we might get to see a go around but alas he put it into the ground-


Would have thought it was taking off with how late he touchdowned-


The plane came in very tail heavy. I am not sure what the problem was but it was signifigant enough to scrub todays flight of ZA004. I heard on the BA BFI Ops Frequency they were talking with MTX about how high the nose was off the ground. Shots of the strut coming up. Also a nice tail reflection on the ground-


A nice rain shower about 15 minutes before she cam in made for some nice waterworks!-


One last touchdown shot with nice waterworks and anti collision!-


And now for the close up's of the strut-




Personally I think this is the best angle to show it as this shot is pretty level-

[seahawks7757]

Almost forgot to share this photo of ZA004 streaking across the night sky from the other night!


And One last cargo shot to wrap up the night!-

[PhilDernerJr]

I'm not them, but I assume that the longer exposures allow for more opportunity to grab it, simply by odds.

Amazing stuff. Keep it coming!
