Remarks: Have you ever seen the belly and without landing gear of United in Hong Kong? Every spotter notice that United are heavy take off but this is different as usual!
Remarks: United Airlines N178UA (FLT UAL839) climbing out from RWY 25R en route to Sydney (YSSY) with Southwest Airlines (FLT SWA2924) simultaneously climbing out from RWY 24L en route to Metropolitan Oakland Intl (KOAK).
Remarks: Taken aboard United 896, during a heavy rainstorm that can be seen on the cockpit windows, resulting in my first go around. This photo is showing off the best office in the whole wide world! Many thanks to the crew who allowed me to photograph the cockpit! Uploaded in 1600px for your viewing enjoyment!
Remarks: Photo was taken after arrival from Chicago (ORD). Originally scheduled as a 2-class 777, I was pleasantly surprised to find the flight was swapped to a 747!
