I love the shadow rippling over the trees on approach.

Out of curiosity, I wonder how many people inside the stadium could actually see the planes? Since the stadium is mostly covered, and just a hole over the field looking up would give most fans a view of the ceiling, not the sky. If the game had been held in an outdoor stadium (like the Rose Bowl or even Yankee Stadium), then the fans would be able to see and hear the flyover. But this seems more like the Goodyear blimp flying over the SuperDome in New Orleans and just used for advertising.

I wholeheartedly agree with the other commentary. I spent 8 months commuting through DEN and would not have spent any more time in the main building regardless of the security layout. When departing, I would drop off my luggage and get through security to the gate area, hoping I wouldn't be delayed by the TSA drama students. When arriving, it was 9 or 10pm and I just wanted to get to the rental car and my hotel and hopefully to sleep before midnight. While I am sure that a more open great hall would benefit those people waiting for an arriving passenger, I have serious doubts the professional business travelers (the ones who have the money to spring for a $16 cheeseburger) will ever even see the new shops and restaurants while they hustle through the building.

A fabulous aircraft and a testament to the ingenuity of Kelly Johnson and the aircraft engineers and mechanics of the Skunk Works. Designing and building that aircraft at that time is should be the textbook definition of "thinking outside the box".

EWR is a hole. It is a traffic nightmare, and if you're lucky enough to be there when the tram is actually operating, half the pod doors won't open. (BTW, Who thought ADDING more moving parts to a people mover was a positive thing?) The constant noise level in the Delta gate area is obnoxious; and given the look of the restrooms, I am grateful that I have no sense of smell. Add to that, the TSA at Newark are truly the bottom of the barrel - even worse than PHL.

Please, no cell phone calls while flying. It is bad enough having to listen to people yell into their phones while the doors are still open. Sitting peacefully, watching the world pass beneath my window helps me transition away from the chaos of work when I'm inbound and organize my thoughts and plans on the way outbound. Please don't let them take that away :)

Certainly looks like the vintage livery...

Very cool - I wonder how much the additional paint weighs and how much more per hour of operation it costs to carry?

Fabulous! I echo the "can we get one for the US" comment by Mr Ellington.
