Boeing 747-400 (N194UA)

This late-morning (10:50 AM) shot captures UA's N194UA on the climb away from Reno Tahoe International's runway 16R at the start of its trip to KNKT (Cherry Point, NC) with a cabin full of US Marines. I'll bet those troops were happy to be on their way out of Reno; they had been standing out on the November ramp under a full sun for over 20 minutes while waiting to board ... and the official temperature that day was exactly 100 degrees. It had to be much, much hotter on that wide open concrete ramp area.
