Just as I was driving up to take a picture of the 747 take off, this helicopter was landing. I have no idea the model, but figured it was something we dont see very often here in Calgary.

I cropped in on one of my other pictures, its not as sharp, but could make out a number on the front. A google search came up with this website http://www.helis.com/database/model/16/, says its American...if the site is accurate.

Not sure if this was posted before or not, but cockpit view of Concorde for takeoff, cruise, and landing with BA back in 1989:

Here is the picture of the Concorde from Heathrow. I couldn't believe how small it was in real life. It seemed smaller than a 737.



Here's the link to a larger version if anyone is interested http://imgur.com/OgRahWl

Damn it, I can't shirk my responsibilities to entertain you clowns!

Hopefully, I'll get more than a 30 second heads up the next time something like that comes in.

Well, what a day.

Went to the Museum of Flight in Seattle, followed by a tour of the Boeing facility to look at the 747, 767, 777 and 787 production lines.

Apparently they can piece together a 787 in 3 days, while a 747 takes 3 months. Not a single rivet in the 787, whilst the 747 comprises upwards of 3 million rivots. It was a fantastic tour and they have an absolutely gigantic building housing the aircraft construction (over 1km long when you look from end to end). We even got to see a 777 take off for a test flight out of Boeing field.

I have some pictures of the 707 air force one, 747-1 and even the concorde (only 1 of 4 outside of europe). Will upload these pictures and add to the thread in a little while.

Managed to pick up some Boeing swag including a few shirts, posters and a landyard. What a terrific facility.
