I think  these were taken over Moses Lake where Mary is working right now.
When I  talked to her from the  WAI conference, she had just come down from
a
beautiful night time view from the top of the rudder as she did  something
kinda hairry up there.
Her quote was "you would have loved  this , Robin"
Cool

If you look closely you can  see Brian's hangar down there.
Those clouds at the top...that's Canada  :)

In all due respect, that lovely photo of the 747-8  is over SEATAC
International.  The aircraft is framed by Lake  Washington, and downtown
Seattle is slightly below and just ahead of the  nose of the plane.  I've
landed there many times, but before they  built the third runway.  You're
right Paul, Canada is behind those  clouds at the top of the photo.

Interesting that they didn't use the winglets on this newer version. I
wonder if the apparent washout in the picture is real, or wing twist in flight,
or a product of the photographic process?
