I may be getting sentimental, but the 747 still looks good to me. Always graceful and definitely one to watch. Couple of photos here of the KLM 747 heading back to Amsterdam from the island of Curacao in the Caribbean.

There will be a few more photos when I sort out the folders, got thousands of photos going back so many years that I have to sort out !!

smooth landings.

No, a different day. Wish that I had more time to get more photos of this, as it was a great sight arriving and departing each day. But I am a 747 fan !

smooth landings.

Hijack! I had cause to go out on Aucklands movement area and snapped an Air Pacific 747 landing on RWY05 (Photo taken from the 05 holding point)

And keeping the thread on the subject of the Queen of the Skies, here is a photo of that Air Pacific 747 taken at Nadi Airport on 4th March last year. Soon it will be all Air Fiji, so the colourful Air Pacific colourscheme will be just a memory. Not a bad paint job though.

No contest between a 747 and an A380.

smooth landings.
