Airbus A300F4-600 (N142UP)

N142UP is a frequent visitor here; in fact, this UPS heavy Bus was here again yesterday after a short hop from Mather (KMHR), but this pic was taken four days ago. The landing on 16L, which is the shorter of RNO's parallels and was the runway I was positioned next to, was necessitated because 16R had just been closed due to a "multiple birdstrike" incident involving a departing Southwest flight.

great timing on that shot gary, 5 stars

Wow, look at all that tire smoke! Great shot Gary!

Well done!

Thanks for the great shot Gary! I guess she is a sister ship to the one sadly lost landing into Birmingham AL at night, a couple of years back...

Excellent lighting and timing on this shot, Gary!

Sam, Mark, Greg, Chris, and Dwight >> Thank you to each of you. Very much appreciate your comments.
Dwight .. If I remember correctly, you have an interest in trains. I don't know diddly about trains, but I have two 52 y/old B&W photos of a Baldwin locomotive I clicked in '65. (I think it's called a 260 .. something to do with the wheels on it. ???) I emailed you but never received a reply. Are you interested in seeing them?
Chris .. I'd forgotten about that. Extremely tragic. :(
