Funky awacsy sort of plane out my office window

At the Museum of Flight, waiting for the 787
|
Crowd gathers
|
|
People stopping on the shoulder of Airport way to watch the 787 land.
|
People staying out of the rain under the Stratofortress
|
News chopper. The Duwash Valley airspace was thick with them!
|
Boeing Fire truck awaits... just in case.
|
|
Three news choppers on the west side of Boeing Field.

Better exposure, but one less chopper.
|
I doubt the designers of the B-47 were thinking "what a great umbrella this will make someday!"
|
|
that pinprick of light in the rain is the 787!
|
Can you see it?
|
A murmur of anticipation and recognition ripples through the crowd.
|
There it is!
|
Closer...
|
Zoomed in as far as my lens will go…
|
Can see it clearly now
|
|
|

|
|

|
touchdown
|
Perfect landing. Very smooth.
|
A cheer goes up
|
|
Chase planes overtake and …
|
overfly the crowd…
