BOEING 737-300 (N137CG)
This Coulson Group B733 "Fireliner" (N137CG, ex-Southwest N617SW) is captured as it sits on the Atlantic Aviation ramp in the shadow of the Reno-Tahoe International control tower.
The Coulson Group acquired six older model 737s from Southwest Airlines and are converting them into firebombers. This one, Tail #137, arrived at RNO on Saturday afternoon and I was contacted to photograph it. At sunrise the next morning, as the shadow of the control tower was momentarily stretched out far enough to "blanket" this awesome aircraft, I snapped this shot.
Comments
On Sunday morning, just as the sun came up, I found myself in an aviation photographer's heaven. I was standing in the midst of four Boeing 737s parked at the south end of Atlantic's ramp: this B733, a Swift Air B734, and two US Navy C-40s. As the sun came up over the Virginia Range Mountains in the east and lit up the blue sky, I was surrounded by fantastic photo opportunities -- Mt Rose was illuminated beautifully in the distance southwest of my location, more than 100 gorgeously colored hot air balloons participating in the mass ascension segment of The Great Reno Balloon Race were rising into the sky beyond the downtown Reno skyline northwest of my location, the RNO control tower was silhouetted northeast of my position, and no matter which direction I faced, I had a Boeing 737 aircraft right in the foreground. And, as every serious aircraft photog knows, the first moments of sunrise don't last for very long, so for the next eight to ten minutes I made use of every single second. Almost 850 clicks of the shutter (843)....
5 "Shadows".....brilliant pic!
850? you're slowing down Gman! jk/
Pretty cool! Nice pic and great job!
Gman - I caught this jet by surprise at RDD 8/8/2019 - pics later....now has titles under the cockpit window 'GAIA"
