Stalking world's biggest planes makes for photos that say 'wow'
And for many folks who appreciate the world's biggest airplanes -- that statement is true both figuratively and literally. For 23 years at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware, aircraft mechanic John Taylor left his sweat and elbow grease on dozens of C-5 Galaxies -- one of the largest military aircraft on Earth.

So excited that the A380 now flies in/out of KATL (Atlanta). Once a day Korean Air departs around noon. Not sure what time it arrives but it is a site to see for sure!
Saw that last month when I was down there on biz.
Certain aircraft have 'impact', the Concorde, the 1st B747 and DC-10's and now the A380's. Military craft are seldom seen outwith their home airfields so few of us see them but we are aware of them. I would dearly wish to see a B52 close quarters upon take off or landing or especially a B1 Lancer anywhere......no people, it should not just be about size rather it should be about personal impact upon the soul and all aircraft enthusiast know what I mean.
I watched a group of B1's flying around in preparation for an air show in the Nevada valley just outside of Nellis AFB. That was a shight that everyone should see. Also had the opportunity to watch a C5 do touch and go's at Dobbins AFB outside of Atlanta. Those are some big birds, and as a civilian I cherish the chances I got to see those two amazing aircraft
I used to watch B-52's fly in and out of Kadena AFB when I was on Okinawa during Viet Nam. Those things are magnificent and intimidating to watch when they are low and slow on final.
Great article! I'm fortunate to live near BWI, DCA and IAD. My husband I actually have coffee dates every weekend at BWI. From the 47's and the 10's to the Antonov and the occasional military - love the jumbos!
