Hey John. Pretty neat action you guys got there at IAD.

Awesome various selections.

Just a question, what's that vertical stuff on top of the "mobile lounge"
It looks like it's part of the vehicle, but what it is, I dont know.

Aren't those the columns that allow certain mobile lounges to rise up and down to "mate" with different types of aircraft?

I remember riding those when I went from the main terminal to the airside Delta used at IAD back in '98 when I flew here to MCO.

Too bad you could not photograph the Qatar B773ER...I believe it arrives late evening, so that might be the reason you missed it. Great pics though, love the ANA B773ER which I have yet to see for the first time.

Jboulin94 would be great if you could get a pic of that Qatar Boeing 777-300ER!

Btw, do you have that model, to compliment the rest of the Asian Games that you received

I've seen it before above my house, but I've never got to take a pic of it! I was there from about 12 to 4, and I had a party to go to, so I couldn't stay.
And yes, I have the model!
