Holiday Heavies 2014

[Jeff D. Welker]

I thought it might be fun to start a thread for this year's Holiday Heavies event/meet-up. I'll go first. I have always liked the DHL bright yellow paint. Heck, I think it makes a 767 (my least favorite Boeing platform) look gorgeous in the early morning light.

When they go 7R it's like sitting on the edge of the runway.

Any of you boys seen an cargo ramp around here?

Another winner Jeff, lots of interest in the photo besides the main subject, great eye! Where are you shooting this from? Great perspective and no fence visible, obviously early morning.

Thanks Harvey. That image was taken approximately 100-200 yards east of 24th Street on the north side of Old Tower Road. The photo below is from the cargo ramp as the crews began loading aircraft for the morning launches.

HEIGH-HO, HEIGH-HO...

Great shots everyone! I'm glad to see a lot of people taking advantage of the extra cargo traffic. Sorry, I could not make it out and join everyone.

When I first saw the "Holiday Heavies" topic I was reminded of the term "Yuma Yummies"...but that's another topic all together...
