Lufthansa Boeing-747 landing @ Washintgton Dulles Airport

[6784629445]

is that where the air and space museum is?

[AndiWandi]

Should be LH418 FRA-IAD

Lufthansa's 747s are sweet! I saw an up-close front view from inside the terminal while waiting for another flight, and then the back of the plane from taxiing at Dulles the other day - beautiful looking plane!

[TheFlyingAceX]

on the outside yes, they're beautiful, but when I'm actually flying in one of them, i pray for an a340-300/600 or an a330, cause they actually have Inflight Entertainment in those. they haven't and probably never will retrofit the 747s, so i'm hoping for some airbuses!

I was also getting a little frustrated with finding decent spots for viewing at Dulles (especially considering I work directly between the approach paths for all 3 parallel runways, and live within 5 minutes of the airport as well.) The best spot is to drive to the Air and Space museum, pay the $12 to park in the museum parking lot, then WALK back down the road a little ways till you're directly under runway 1R (right outside the gate.) Very good spot (and the one used in this video.)

[USARMz]

[lahluv]

i just came back from the airport a few hours ago but no succses. i just got back from gravelly point

[USARMz]

hahahahhahahhah rofl!!! gravelly point is at NATIONAL airport not dulles. of course you wont c any big ones at national because they dont take 747s. U gotta go to Dulles in Chantilly to c that

[lahluv]

[prjeo]

[747fanatic]

where were you standing was it by the musuem

[adnargesam]

I was parked on the shoulder to the museum (Udvar-Hazy Center).

By the way, if you park there, call airport-control and let them know or airport security will ask you to move.

[judysweetfunny]

I just moved to Manassas.....do I go up 66? Where is the best place to see the planes?

[adnargesam]

No, don't take 66 please. Just go North on Route 28, then take the Museum exit after passing 66 and three other exits.  Take care.

[ElAl4ever]

I took 66. Boy was that an adventure! We were visiting from New York. That was my second time in DC. I'm going again with my school in March of '09. I just can't get enough. But we won't be going anywhere near Dulles. :(
