Why didn't someone......
tell Grandma to .......hide her 'bloomers' better than that.............Eshhhhhh..!!!


Don't  "EVEN"......
act like you didn't look either.........
Eshhhhh..........♠

This morning.......while watching my
"Countryman & McDaniel"Law office...........
runway cams at LAX........
this 747....rolled up on Runway 25R........to take off........
I've never seen this plane before......
and without any "Livery"........
I am curious if anyone has any idea......the "Ghostly Secret".......'she' may be keeping.........????.............
the web-link.......for these cams......is


http://www.cargolaw.com/lax_webcam2.html

There are 2 views to this site...........
#1 "Cargo City"......
which is below, in these 2 "747"..shots....
you see the plane....taxing up to take off here at Runway 25R.........
and when you switch to #2 cam......you can usually see the plane you just watched 'Line up and Wait" rotate up.......
now ........sometimes the 'cam doesn't catch the 'rotation'....if it was during the 'refresh'.....
every 8 seconds........
and #2........is "Pacific View".........
they refresh every 8 seconds.........I keep it on my computer...at work..........when ever I'm not doing anything that requires......the use of my computer screen.......;)))........
Don't worry......I "Do" real work..........except when I don't.......Yikes........♠.



Has Anyone ever seen this
 "White Ghost"............747............?????


Maybe "Cargo".........or Secret "Goverment"..........????......
but definitely,
 "Intriguing"......♠


Here is the #2, "Pacific View".........
not the best picture......today, it's hazy in "LAX"........
hard to see, but the Pacific ocean
is there in the background.....

Ritchie.......Thanks for setting me straight.........♠
Those KLM jets are old Douglas DC8s .... DC8 Super 60 Series, to be exact, or "stretched" DC8s as we used to call them. These were the A340 of their day .. four engines, very long range (6,000 miles), high passenger capacity (200 - 220 pax) even though they were narrow-body planes (three seats, centre aisle, three seats). They were wildly popular with airlines, and a bunch of these planes continue to fly today as freighters.
 


The "Glory Days".......,
I  'Miss'  so much..........!!!
Thank you 'Ritchie'.....
for reminding us, of those days........here!!
There's nothing
"Plain".......about these "PLANES".........♥

Hey, great idea for a theme tie-in! Cute London pix!

Sorry to quash your "Conspiracy Theory" aspirations regarding the "ghost" 747, but the mundane answer is that planes often go out without any livery, and then delivered to the buyer for paint scheme of their choosing! Don't know if there's a paint facility in LAX or not, but that's my 1st guess.

That being said, there's long been a rumor that the "ghost" 737's that fly out of LAS across the field from the main terminal are secretly shuttling...uh, "things" (space aliens?!?!) to and from Area 51!

Hey Cappy.......Yea...........so much for.......

Hey Jules & Eric!

I love the tie-in too!

You are most welcome to visit our wonderful country any time you please, I can even show you the best field to sit in with a picnic and watch the heavies on finals to 27L at LHR! LOL!

Also in response to your "ghost" I know Cargolux use white 747's and as Eric says, maybe they just haven't gotten around to painting the logo on the vertical stab?

Your posts are the BEST as always! (sorry Cappy, yours are great too!)

D from the UK :)

I have been enjoying the Beautiful...scenery of your Country....and of London...while watching the Olympics...♠


It's a good thing...I can't get to the 'unpainted'.....tail of the 'ghost'...I would paint TWA......on it bigger than 'shit'........!!
and pick up all my Aviation Buds..........and have the biggest party.......omg....

Yes when I do come for a visit...The 'First'....place I want to do....is to have a picnic... and watch those heavies on 'final'....to 27L....;)))))))

Later Dave........♠
