Dreamlifter departure

[Foxcow]

I happened to be in Charleston, SC (CHS) at the right time when this thing was headed out. I think this thing was light because it came off the ground pretty quickly. This thing is massive.

That baby was parked out here for a couple weeks last month.

Do you know if there is more than one?

I don't know. Looked just like that one, but I never caught the N-number

Awesome photos!!! I cant wait to see them in Anchorage this summer.

There are three, maybe four at the moment.

I have a video of it taking off on my digital camera out of CHS! It was last Thursday if I recall. I actually put a picture of it up under the random pics thread I posted.

CHS smells like poo

I was at the airshow at CHS last year and the Dreamlifter was there. One of the most interesting things is how large the hinges are for the tail section to swing open. As I recall, it has to be supported by a supped-up forklift. Incredible pics. Good post.

Nice pics... one of those was up in Anchorage for a while last year. Quite an oddity.

I think there are 3, run by Evergreen (aka The Zone)

And I think they were converted in Taiwan if I remember right....

Great shots!

I was fortunate enough to fly right over it in PDX last year . . . off 28R with an early left turn, very cool.

It reminds me of a Beluga whale (local wildlife up here in AK)...

Look out A380!

:yar:Arrgh, I've seen the whale as well! She's a big lady, arrgh, too much for a mere mortal to fly.:yar:
Just prior to rotation at Charleston as well.

It appears as if Boeing has ripped off mother nature..

Look out for what?


I heard a controller talking to them when I was flying earlier this week. Gave them direct Yakima, and they were just west of CHS.

Your memory serve correctly, Sir.

That must be the start of their descent into Everett, I don't think they can land at Yakima Moses Lake, but not Yakima.

Its on part of their route.
