My first and last chance to get on a 747 before they go away. Its been my bucket list to fly UD on a 747, so I figured I better do it while I can!

Hopefully no more nukes get tested nearby while I'm there.....

I just watched DL 159 fly over my house on it's way to ICN. Normally, it doesn't quite get out far enough west to fly over on the LAYNE departure, but today it's skirting around a thunderstorm over Ann Arbor. Can always tell when one is flying over by it's distinctive thunderous engine sounds. Definitely going to miss them when they are gone.
