SEA South End

[1971_M5]

Here's a shot from the logistics lot (south of 188th Street). British Airways SEA to LHR. 777-236ER (a 26 year old airplane). It is a beautiful sight watching these things take off. Using the 80-400 zoom. Should have used the 200-500. Think of the “life” this airplane has had… all of the places its been… and the structural stresses, etc. Yes, it has definitely has some maintenance… even some “heavy” maintenance. Still, It is amazing that these things hold together as long as they do. Mid-1990's -- 777 was Boeing at its best.

Beautiful crisp shot!

I've flown a few times on BA's 777 aircraft in years gone by. Really nice plane to travel in.
