Insomnia has its advantages….

At about 4am in Seattle, Boeing finally moved the Scoot 787 that was blocking a full-on view of Lufthansa’s D-ABYT dressed in a Retro-Livery.

So from my hotel room and a bit of luck, I was finally able to get a photo of the entire aircraft.   Is it blurry? a little.   Am I shooting through a hotel window at 4am?  Yes.   Am I over a mile away from her?  Yes.  Cut me a bit of slack! 🙂

If things work to schedule, she should see the skies this weekend…..

 

For now, here she is sitting at a ramp position at Paine Field:

    Over a mile away? That’s pretty impressive under low light conditions and the distance. What lens are you using?
