This picture really shows how large aircraft like these really are, especially the 747. The cars look like midgets compared to them. 5 Stars all the way!

Nothing like sharing the open road with a Jumbo! Not seeing any part of the airport makes this photo all the more interesting. Job well done.

Is this the latest livery of UA? Sorry for being such a noob in knowing stuff about US airlines, but it seemed more "logical" to me that that dark grey livery was their latest, cos it looked more modern to me (and I liked a little better than this one), but then I checked out the date of this pic, and I realized it must be their latest, or am I wrong?
