Forum rules
ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

Anchorage May 2017 part2 Jets (photo heavy)

Post by EC »

Some more from my 3,5 day stay at Anchorage. Anchorage only has modest passenger traffic. Not surprisingly Alaska airlines is the most frequent, followed by Delta and United.
Local traffic in the form of the Oil operations form Connoco Phillips, Everts air Cargo and NAC.

By far the most traffic is fuelstops by all the asian cargo carriers plus Fedex and UPS on the route from Asia to the US.
If you like jumbo's this is where you need to be. At one time I saw 4 Cathay 747-8 parked next to each other. This being only a fuelstop they are in and out within 2 hours.

Perfect report Eddy. Certainly with the dark clouds in the background make it even further impressive. Good variation as well.
