Boeing 737-800 (N905NN)
American's N905NN, wearing the 1960s-era American Airlines "Astrojet" retro livery, smokes the mains as it touches down on Runway 16R. That shining silver fuselage with the orange lightning bolt shaped cheat really reflects very brightly under a sun blazing down from overhead on a cloudless day, but it sure enough looks gorgeous. This was the livery that American's fleetbirds wore when I was a teen and I think it is the best one AA ever had. (BUT, I also really liked the red, white, blue and silver scheme that came later.)
Comments
While getting this capture of the Astrojet livery, I experienced a bit of bad luck and good luck. The bad luck was all my fault. I was only half-listening to the scanner and I heard an aircraft cleared to land on runway 16L. I thought it was this aircraft, the American Astrojet. So I positioned at a premier spot next to 16L. But when I saw this one on short final, it was obviously going to 16R and I was in the wrong place ... rather far away from 16R. (It had been another aircraft that had been cleared for 16L.) So the Q of my capture here was slightly degraded by the heat waves rising up between me and this Astrojet. That was the bad luck. The good luck can be seen on this photo. The sun shining down on that gleaming silver caused a huge reflective "splash" on some of my pics. But on THIS photo, the sunny reflection on the fuselage actually creates the perfect background to highlight the dark letters that read, "American Airlines." So I did get some good fortune, too.
Lovely capture of the AstroJet special! Man, you get real close for these pics!
5 stars G-man...yes, ' the good, the bad and the ugly' nothing like a 'smoker' shot and I have hundreds of blown shots at the last second snapping away with fuselage glare. I like the tail colors and bits of snow off set the whole view for a 5.
