I landed in Chicago from Mpls many years back and many passengers on our airplane happened to be Japanese. As we rolled toward the terminal, the Japanese guys let go with a verbal Oh-aaah !
A big Flying Tigers 747 freighter whistled past us on another runway. it was painted with the familiar Flying Tiger jaw full of teeth and looked great in the afternoon sunlight.

A big Flying Tigers 747 freighter whistled past us on another runway. it was painted with the familiar Flying Tiger jaw full of teeth and looked great in the afternoon sunlight.

Among my most vivid airport memories was,while leaving the old Kai Tak Airport after having just arrived for my first visit to Hong Kong,looking up and seeing a bright orange Braniff 747 just about scraping the nearby rooftops as it approached the runway.I managed to shoot a picture of it but have since lost it.This was something like 30 years ago.
