Nice set of 'pics' Zac.  Thanks for sharing.

Great pics, nice photographic light. Do you know the model of the Delta a/c?

PS: Interesting letter in today's CT making comparisons of USAF 1 and our VIP fleet - noting that while ours is more modest, the VIP fleet is considerable newer and more capable than USAF 1, which is an aging B747-200 (quite an old model by civil passenger aircraft standards).

The VC-25s are due to be replaced by VC-25Bs (747-8Is) in 2017.

As mentioned the Delta Aircraft was a Boeing 767-300ER (although I have shortened it to 763)
