Description
byso, unfortunately, I don't know what kind of plane this is (but I'm sure you guys do.) it was the biggest non-military plane I've ever seen. I have a few more really good shots of it, but I'll save those for later
. I picked this one because it seems like it's floating in the water... and therefore...a witch!.taken at DTW during a 4 hour layover
cheers

no doubt a 747
there is never a mistake with that, because, up until the new airbus, it was the biggest commercial jet, bar-none.

I am SOOOOO excited! I LOVE it! It is a Northwest Airlines Boeing 747-400, and the airport is Detroit Wayne County Metropolitan Airport. I live in Hamtramck, and i Se these huge Boeings fly over all the time...they're so beautiful when they make that teardrop turn. today, i was in the middle of the Bengali Strip, when i saw an Airbus A-330-300 make her turn...even though I DON't like airbus airliners, the Airbus A-330 is quickly becoming my second favorite to the Boeing 747...Curses to Airbus because they're killing the sales of the Boeing 747 with their new Airbus A-380!

Yep a 747 flown by NWA. Because of the perfectly straight angle this was taken at I cannot tell if it is a SP, 100, 200, 300, OR 400 or X variant. Likely not an SP or 100. It is either a 200 or 400 because 300s are very rare from my experiences.

Its a -400 series. I am an expert planespotter, so i would know what series it is!

i love airports and planes, seeing this photo completely made my day.
i'm gonna go with the guess that it's a 747, too. hard to tell from straight on, but since the side windows go underneath the cockpit it appears to be a double decker - and the ony double decker commercial airplane in use is the 747, if i'm not mistaken. airbus is coming out with one, but it's not beyond production yet.

I can't tell but it's either a boing 747-300 or a 747-400, awesome pic by the way

haha he said *boing*, prolly just a typo, but still funny. I just recently found out about this club, all the airplane photos I have were takin at boeing field, though I have much more than are posted...
btw awsome shot, definately captures the size of this thing...

I reckon it was a typo... but still, I often say "boing" when addressing "boeing" because ...
well, because I'm much more of an airbus ("airbust"

airbus!! you could get beat up for sayin that around these parts...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
that's why I also said my "nickname" for airbus, airbust...
but, now that nobody listens to us... can you compare the beauty of an a330 or an a340 to a boeing?

This superb shot really deserved to win the contest!

I can't describe why I love this shot in the way that I do, but I think it is an amazing shot. I think it's because of how neatly it fits into the frame, and how...sexy? it is?
I dunno, you used the word sexy, but I like this thing a lot...it makes me want to fly...I think I'm intruiged by things in the air or something. Oh well, nicely done

yes..it is a Northwest Airlines 747-400...I ABSOLUTLY HATE THEIR NEW LIVERY...this one is much better...and I never could quite figer out their logo until recently...I always thought that it was supposed to be an N and a W with just that line through them so you couldn't really tell...but then my dad pointed out to me that the part that I thought made the W was pointing Northwest...so I'm not sure what to think now...

this is impressive... it's probably one of the most gorgeous plane pictures I have ever seen.
it is in fact a northwest boing 747, and I think you should put this picture up on aviation sites, such as airliners.net...
it's incredible, really...

that is a beautiful shot, great color, angle, refelection everything I really like this one, the framing in with the windows makes it, gonna fave it even
it's a 747 if I'm not horribly mistaken
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Beautiful shot. That is a really fine observation. I like the way you framed the work; it is really integrated with the framing of the windows. What aperture did you use? I wonder if you could've gotten the reflection sharper by selecting a smaller aperture.

f/9
thanks. this one was tricky because of the difference between the dark inside and bright outside. (but I'll keep your tip in mind for next time.) this was one place I wished I had my tripod.
Speed: 1/100.00
Aperture: f/9.00
Focal Length (mm): 49.00
ISO Speed: 100

Awesome shot. I really like how the reflection on the floor.
Good to see a 4 hour layover produced something other than boredom.
