Thank you, I like that one too. I can't believe how intense the color got within a few minutes, the second one was only about 3 minutes after the first. I probably should have shot a second one to stitch below the second one, it looks like I cut the wheels off of the 777........ I was trying to get as much of the sky as possible and that was the last shot I could get on the card. I went kind of nuts with the clouds before the sun started setting, the sky was alive that whole afternoon.......... I believe I shot a couple hundred RAW shots in between picking up bags from one flight and distributing them to other flights going to different destinations, hope I didn't misplace any.:eek: I was running about 20 bags to 5 different flights when I took the sunset shots on the north side of the airport.

It is amazing how large that aircraft is when you're standing under it. The Emirates have them really decked out inside, they have suites that cost 13,000 dollars up in 1st class....... that's one way to Dubai! I have seen them place 6-10,000 pound pallets in the front cargo bay and then another 6-2,400 pound cans full of luggage in the back along with a ton in bin 5. That along with 300 people and 45,000 gallons of fuel.......... and they have no problem taking off! Of course, those engines produce 90,000 lbs. of thrust apiece....... what's also pretty amazing is that they burn almost the same amount of fuel as a 757.

Thanks Abbey:thumb: I have been spending way too much time arguing with the dufusses on the old board, there's so many there........ they are fun to give a hard time to. It is amazing to see the amount of ignorance that comes out of their keyboards.
