Happened to be outside beside the runway this morning when it took off. Was glad I got to see it take off. That thing is a beast in the air. Looked amazing!

Thanks Bigtime,
Too bad I didn't hear about sooner, I would have gone and seen it since I work close to the runway.

Interesting. I wonder what huge item someone needed in a big enough hurry that they sent a cargo plain that size.

We've got a lot of photographers around and in the airport, don't know if this was being loaded or taken off:

She departed to Anchorage (fuel stop?) and then off to Japan after that.

Hey Bigtime or one of you other aviation geeks... Do any of you have a link for a great circle mapper? I was playing with one once and I've never been able to find it again. You could put in airport codes or city names, then it would show you the direct route to that city on a globe. I've been googling it but I can't find that good one that actually shows you the line from one city to the other.
