I'm still en-route to Memphis for the hand over and inspection...then I'll take her to my new Boeing scenery (I have to look up which field they paint the 777) to have her painted in FedEx colors. I wanted to post these now while in flight...not sure if I'll have enough juice this evening to post the whole flight.
I didn't resize and use a lot of compression on all these shots, I really like showing bare metal aircraft.
Starting my walk around...nose looks ok.
What a massive engine!
Got a tiger by the tail! LoL She's making her 1st run with FedEx cargo even before the paperwork is all done.
Almost done loading the big girl
Taxiing out in with the morning Tampa sun reflecting off the fuse.
Here is a shot a spotter got thru the fence.
Liftoff! SWA's terminal at KTPA in the background. Some sort of antenna in the foreground (ILS maybe?).
Gear in the bar...huge bay doors closing, Tampa in the rear view mirrors!
Climbing to altitude, looks like nice weather (flying with ASN and real weather off).
Will post shots of the end of the flight in my next post.
