Spotting the Atlas Air 747-400 at MHT!

Real World Aviation Spotting

Hi everyone! I’m back with more Spotting from Manchester, NH!
Now, we normally get the normal traffic we get here in MHT, but today, we received an Atlas Air Boeing 747-400!
Why is this a big deal for us at MHT? We rarely get anything this big, especially a 747! We also got one single diversion from Boston, which was a Delta A320, which later departed to BOS.

I hope you like the pictures!

Three Southwest 737-700s parked at their gates. It’s a VERY uncommon sight to see this from southwest.

This is after it departed from the Airport. Let’s wish our troops safe travels! KMHT-LJLJ

This was a great sight to see in Manchester, and especially a 747! It’s becoming uncommon now to see a 747, as they’re slowly becoming retired.

Thank you for looking, and comment which one was your favorite :)

I liked the last one.

A takeoff roll performed by a 747 is always epic

Manchester NH is one of the saddest airports I’ve every seen. Even Portland Jetport PWM is busier.

Wow! Great pictures!

I remember when San Jose got the Air India 744 as well as a United 744! They are amazing aircraft!

Usually soldiers are taken on either Atlas Air or Omni Air when going from on long flights overseas to different military bases, etc.

Sorry for being off topic

It depends. Omni Air and Atlas Air do both Military charters.
Atlas Air usually will send us a Boeing 767-300 if they ever decide to bring them here. This is a very rare occurrence. Omni Air usually sends us a 767-200, but once sent us a Boeing 777-200ER

Wow, I’m jealous you guys got a 747. My home airport hasn’t gotten a 747 in a while. We used to see a Virgin 747 about 5 times a week, but the service was changed to the Airbus A330-200/300. We got a 747-8F last year, but that was pretty much it. You guys in Manchester extremely lucked out on this one. Hope to see more photos from MHT soon.
