    Sad to see another 747 leave the area, however, I think I've shot those aircraft multiple times over. I'm ready for the change.

    I got to say their color scheme is bland on the 747 but should look cool on a triple.

    Yeah, B-2445, B-2446, B-2447, B-2448, B-2449, B-2450, B-2... They are as exciting as fog during UN Week! I, too, welcome the dildos to quote Mr. Wunala Dreamin, even if they are just as boring. Funny, they have special schemes on a lot of their aircraft back home, just not on long haul bodies

    Sorry to see another B744 go. Soon, only cargo flights will still be B744s. I feel it's a downgrade. The 777 is very unattractive.

    Alright, that means I have to get back up there before October 1 to catch the Air China 747. Although their 777W does look nice.
