Amazing angles make some brilliant photos there Bluebird, how did you manage to get access to all those areas?

Yes you certainly got around that apron, great series of shots.
Reminds me of evii's exhaust heat haze shot, too.
I was watching Casino Royale again the other night, and this also reminds me of the sequence where the 747 has to go missed to avoid the car chase - and blows the cop car taillight over radiator...

Were you one of the guys up on the Tower balconey taking photos Tuesday afternoon? One of them had a bushy white beard?
If so I wish I had known. I came on duty just before they left and was inside the Tower cab at the time, I would have come out and said Hi.

no I think you guys were already out on the deck when i got there, and then you all seemed to disappear downstairs as I signed on.
I'm 6'3" and currently sporting a beard for the winter.
