A Quirky Flight! | Dallas - New York | Atlas Air 747-400

Background

Yes, you heard me right, a 747-400 for Dallas - New York!
Let me provide some context: this is a real flight, it starts in Dallas, then goes to New York, then to Anchorage! This is flown as Atlas Air has only a couple 747-4’s and wants to use them at all connecting routes to Anchorage, so Volià! A 747-4 for a regional flight!

Let’s dive into more of the details!

Route

KDFW - KJFK

Aircraft in use

747-400 Atlas Air

Let’s see some pictures!


At one of the only gates to support a 747 in DFW!


An American B77W watching as I rotate!


Departure out of DFW with KDAL in the background!


After a nice 2hrs of cruising we start approaching New York at Scranton VOR!


An extraordinary view of Central Park, as I start to turn to JFK!


A moonshot as I begin my RNAV approach!


With my creativity on the line, I found this stunning view, as I switch to manual control down to Runway 22L!

With some network problems I couldn’t bring you my gate photo 😔, Sorry!

Today, I’m trying to only lightly edit the photos through Lightroom, to bring more “Infinite Flight” into to my photo!

I hope you had a great IFATC @ home, and I’m glad you took a stop at my thread!
