Today for the first time, an Air Bridge Cargo Boeing 747 (actually 747-281F according to the number crunchers) came into Geilenkirchen, Germany. Unfortunately I missed it's arrival and couldn't get out on the ramp where it sat under clear blue skies basking in sunshine.... but I managed to capture the backtrack and take-off. Here are three images I quickly edited to I can post them here. Although I'm into military stuff, I must say I enjoyed this sight tremendously. Since this was one of my last opportunities to get out there this year I'm quite happy with the results. Here we go lads...
Backtrack on the active runway
... turning in the hammerhead
... and taxiing towards the active again
Enjoy and thanks for looking!
