I went to the 2011
Dulles Day Plane Pull on Saturday. It didn't rain. I took a
bunch of photos. Most of them involve people pulling a plane (
Krystle, a
FedEx Airbus A310-221) that weighs 160,000 pounds empty.
If you like looking at the fronts of planes and the backs of t-shirts, there are shots like this:
Team FGM.
Though I preferred trying to see people's faces. This one was from the side:
Note the specific lack of "plane" in this shot.
Team Codgers.
The photos I liked best, I shot from the tail of the plane, looking forward, using the 10x zoom on the Nikon. There still wasn't a lot of plane, but you can see the nose gear:
The best expressions of the day.
There's a few more of this team, some showing less effort, some more.
I like the UPS plane tail in the background.
They seem awful happy.
Effort.
Team TSA. There were several jokes made about Team TSA being allowed to keep their shoes on.
Every bit helps.
Non-Pully Things
There were also a lot of non-pully things, including an Airbus A380, the world's largest passenger airliner:
The Airbus A380 is quite large.

Strong robot presence (thanks to the Alexandria Police Department.)
There are also a
bunch of photos of A-10s, a C-17, B-25 and more hardware from the Alexandria PD.
Finally, I bought a large pizza for $5 as I was leaving.

Wherever team happy is from, they must have an awesome dental plan.
