Nice clear views! And you didn't let the big one get away.
Just how much larger can these things get?

Thanks! She is spending the night at JFK, then leaving for a "day trip" to Chicago on Tuesday, scheduled to leave a little after 11am, returning around 11pm. Wednesday she is making a local media flight out of JFK, taking off around 8:45am until 10:30am. She heads back home Wednesday night around 10pm.

Wow that's big!

Watched the landing on the news. Looked big there too.

I'm pretty sure each engine is bigger than my house. :huh

They are huge machines, I pray we never see one come down.
They make the Jumbo Jets look really small too don't they.

Nice series, glad you got to see if for yourself :clap
Thanks for sharing Moose :D .... Skippy
