^^^^ I love the lines on this airplane. Beautiful and sleek. Terrific catch Sir Dave.

I too love the sleekness and sexiness of her curves. This airplane just has that 'they-got-it-right' look to her.

Agreed. The nose has a similar look to the Caravelle, which is one of my all-time favorite airliners. Absolutely loving that belly shot, Dave.

Wow, you totally nailed that - it does look remarkably like a Caravelle....

Coulda/woulda/shoulda done a better job executing that belly shot. I should have known which orientation (portrait vs. landscape) would have been better suited...I chose wrong.

I'm a little behind in getting photos up, but I have to say the coverage we gave the Dreamliner the last couple of weeks especially last couple of days has been outstanding. It's been a pleasure to meet the few of you that I have so far and look forward to the future. Y'all are a rootin' tootin' bunch to shoot with. That is all

A little late to the party (what else is new?).

Landing, thrust reversers opened:

...and leaving less than an hour later:

Is it just the angle, or do the wings really flex that much?

That damn fence got in the way...

The wings flex that much... check out Jeff Welkers RWY 26 shot over in the Phoenix Sky Harbor section... It gives a great perspective of the 787 wing flex.

Just to beat a dead horse a little more...and too bad this month's challenge requires sunsets. This was at 1/125 (glad that sunny f-16 rule still works).

DREAM BIG; SPARKLE MORE; SHINE BRIGHT

Caught their third bird (N803AL) making the St. Louis-PHX-DFW circuit.

Graceful and Dreamy Curves

Bjorn,

You will never bother us with your night shots. Your night images are among my favorites.

Very nicely done....

When I see shots of the Dreamliner at Pima I think back to watching that particular airframe being flown in and out of Yuma. Sad to see it parked, but glad it was not chopped up and made into Solo cups. (get it? ...beercans. Solo cups...)
