McDonnell Douglas MD-83 (N804WA)

This is about as close as any photographer will get to this one when it is here. It gets ramped in an isolated section of the apron, one engine is shut down, armed personnel deplane and post around the aircraft, new "passengers" are driven up to the stairs and marched aboard, the guards reboard the plane, the door shuts, the second engine is restarted, the plane taxies, and then it departs. Photography of all of this activity is not only "discouraged" at all times, it is prohibited. Walk anywhere near this one with a camera and watch how fast the camera gets confiscated.

Nice catch and shot of this Mad Dog Gary!

Well done, Gary!

Great Shot and info Gary!

Darryl, Greg, and Mike P. >>> Hey, TYVM for the comments, guys. Very much appreciated.
Also, to Mike P. >>> I always view your pics and every single one is beyond 5 * quality. I happened to notice some recent Comments by you under your photos. Gavin is absolutely correct; your shots are always premier Q. Based on your Comments, I suspect you already know, as do I, who the angry and bitter little twerp is who gives out the lone star. Ignore him. His photos were (and when he posts, still ARE) super quality, but he has this fixation that tends to override his judgement. It's a shame. Just ignore him. (Wave)

Thanks Gary,Appreciate your support!

Does this airline only do charters for the ICE/DOJ?
