Lufthansa Retro livery 747-8i (D-ABYT) with Wilko737 on board departs Houston KIAH 15R

What an awesome treat to have this beauty not only visit on a great day but depart on 15R too! Mr. Wilko737 was on board in the jumpseat. Listen to this amazing spool and takeoff filmed from the fuel depot.

Very nice close-ups and in-flight shots....good time to invest in a tripod ;)

TomPhoto thank you, I have a cheaper Benro tripod just can’t afford one of broadcast quality yet

By the way I have a question what other Houston plane spotters would you be talking about

[@88hheKIAHSpotting]

pilot_ charles_ there are lots of us here in Houston, you can visit the Houstonspotters.net website or if you have instagram search the tag houstonspotters and all of our accounts will come up. We also have a Facebook page where we discuss upcoming events and when/where we will be spotting so take a look
