What a majestic plane - full of grace. When it slowly taxis to its runway, and takes turn around the bend - looks so elegant and masterpiece especially with that color. Boeing 747 is legendary and that hump makes it stand out as the best designed airplane of all time.

I did this a few years ago, as the MD-80 was lining up to take off, the Co-pilot opened his window and cheered the crowed lined up on the fence! The captain spooled the engines to full power and stood on the brakes for about 45 seconds, it lifted some of us off our feet like kites holding onto the fence.... what a ride!! Thank you thanks guys!!, btw, i'm a flight student!!

I’ve been there and done this! It’s amazing! Our driver said when he was a kid that they used to let them hold on to the fence and when the jet took off they would ‘fly’ like Superman.

They did this for years and years. Was there right at this spot in '95. Not sure if they still do, but they would literally post the departure and arrival times on a sign nearby so you could watch the landings (very impressive as they go soooo low) and the takeoffs. Most all the jets produced a decent blast, but of course the real thrill was watching the 747 takeoff. Unfortunately, the last 747 flight was in October of 2016, and you can't see one landing or taking off there anymore. But it's still an amazing place to watch any plane land.

it amazes me that people put down their towels and belongings exactly where the jet blast is gonna be when an airplane takes off...
