Boeing Dreamlifter (N780BA) - GTI4151 rolling out on Rwy 16R after landing to complete a flight from NGO on 1.23.18. (ln 778 / cn 24310).  Heavy rain was over the airfield when it arrived. Why on earth would a plane spotter be out in this weather?  Crazy!

Hiya, Leland. An outstanding catch!! The click is worth 5 *s, another 5 *s for it being the D Lifter, and still 5 more *s for you being the kind of spotter who is willing to tolerate anything and to go out at anytime to get the capture. I've met several who like to claim they are spotters, but if all the WX conditions and photograph-snapping factors aren't absolutely perfect ... or ... if they can't drive right to the location and sit in their vehicle between planes, they sure aren't interested in spotting. If you ever get down in my area, I'd enjoy meeting you and hosting your visit to do some spotting. (Both Thumbs Up and a Tip of my RNO cap to you).

Thanks Gary! I was out for the QANTAS #VH-ZNC delivery and the Dreamlifter arrived so I couldn't resist a few fotos. I love your fotos and will need to plan a road trip to RNO for some spotting with you.
