Holiday Heavies 2014

[Dave S.]

Caught this not-so-little elf this morning.  While the ramp behind him looks empty, he was the last of a long line of Santa's helpers that headed out in a rush this morning.

I'm glad you were able to catch some action this morning Brother Dave. Yesterday (Tuesday) I kept telling Matt that I thought the cargo traffic was likely over for the morning and then another 757, MD-11, A-300 or 747 would make an appearance. I started to wonder where they were parking all these heavies

UNDENIABLE PRESENTS

Nothing but winners in this thread, feel a bit undergunned posting a modest spotter-shot, but this was the main type I was chasing this season and I wound up catching this one under pretty cool circumstances (it was taking the active right as I was pulling up on the berm). 

[Dave S.]

This A300 is another rarity for me.  Caught him this morning too, on a nice, clean tarmac as he taxied out for takeoff.

Fantastic shot, Scott.  Reminiscent of reindeer pulling a big sleigh.

[Scott Youmans]

Thanks Joe! A timely description! There sure have been a lot of great shots posted from this season's Sky Harbor activity.

Love this shot Scott....  They cleared the cargo ramp.    Apt description from Joe.  Wonder which one is Rudolph?

Dave, Nice look on the A300....

Interesting the shape of the nose with the light reflections.  Looks like it has some big flat surfaces, less rounded then I would have thought.

Scott that looks like one of the I.Q. test. 'One of these does not belong'
