Today there were few moments when there was blue sky, but even then high clouds were present. One of three aircraft I was able to spot was this still new LOT Boeing 787. Not the best quality and some CAs near the fuselage, but this was the best I could get today. Last chance this year :lol:
I wish you all the best for 2013, greetings from Germany

Very nice catch Kopinet, the 787 looks strange from this angle, the wings look huge! I hope to catch the 787 in 2013.

DC10MD11, that orange fuselage could well be from de-icing fluid as in New York the temperature is around -1c with snow.

Clear skies forecast for tomorrow ;)

As some kind of promotion tour, this aircraft visited Hannover on Dec. 23rd (very bad weather that day) and a second Dreamliner visit is planned for Jan 4th. Unfortunately I´ll be at work then. :(
