    I really like the last one. It must be some kind of Vintage throwback?

    Cool shots. I have a fascination for watching those huge lumbering cargo planes take off. Like I'm amazed everytime something that big manages to fly.
    Anybody can do it.

    SJC has a FedEx & UPS terminal near by. Kinda fun to watch them come and go. Of course, the best watching is at SFO with regard to the various carriers/livery.
    It's only on occasion that NUQ gets an Antonov or other large military cargo AC.

    Some great pictures. Especially the last. The paint looks like an early AA scheme?

    Are you on the airport property or outside? Just curious as to how far away you are when shooting.

    Nice! I might've been on one of those AA flights :D

    Nice work! One of these days, I'm going to have to get down to MIA for some shooting - you get all sorts of interesting things down that way.

    And yes, that last AA jet is painted in a "retro" scheme, a number of airlines have been doing that of late, putting markings from their history on current jets.
