    Thumbs up 747- tries to lift off without engines

    Yup, a 70 knot headwind and the right configuration, and the 747 wants to fly.
    Amazing video of 747 lifting in place in extreme wind conditions - 1080P HD - YouTube

    The Mojave Desert boneyard is amazing. See my trip report with some not so great photos.

    Poor bird, she still thinks she's an airplane. Still impressive, but I'm sure it would have been a lot harder for that to happen if it were loaded, maybe even if it were a passenger plane instead of cargo, since I'm sure that's a lot lighter when empty. Hopefully they had some good chocks on that thing!
