Help finding a photo for my phone
I'm rebuilding my home screens for my phone. I need help finding a photo to use as my phone wallpaper. I am looking for something pretty specific - something you swear you've seen before in advertisements, but I can't seem to find anything on the net like it.
In particular, I am looking for a photo of a 747. In particular, I want one of a 747 flying above the clouds. What i have in mind is the departing shot in any video - the picture is from a little behind, above, and to the right of the plane, the plane is flying in from the bottom left corner of the image to the upper right corner (so flying away from you) usually into the sunset or any interesting clouds or something. The plane doesn't have to be particularly big in the picture, probably better it isn't as I need room for icons. Since it is going on my phone it has to be vertical, or at least give me enough cropping room to make it vertical. And high-resolution as the phone screens have a pretty high dpi.
Hoping someone has come across something like this.
Thanks!

Not sure if you poked around a.net, I didn't find any that met all the requirements, but here are a few neat ones in any case:

Actually the second screen is your first photo (the one by Mark Kwiatkowski). I just flipped it. Unfortunately you can't flip a number f them, as the logos get reversed and look funny.

I guess I had a brain fade, didn't even think about flipped pics. Of course as you mentioned, doesn't work well if text is visible.

I'm not trying to 'pimp' my own photos, but here is a link to my LH 747-8i gallery for D-ABYT, the LH retro 747. I took most of these at paine field while she was testing. Some might meet your criteria.
