This is a fantastic shot , would you mind saying your camera and the lens you are using ?I'm voting you a excellent .
Just out of curiosity, why are the Boeing fleet all start with a "7"? Any significance?
From an article in USA Today 02-18-16 by Kevin Farrell:
In the aftermath of World War II, Boeing President William Allen set about on an ambitious restructuring of the company, dividing each new department by three-digit numbers. The 300 and 400 departments continued to focus on the company’s propeller aircraft offerings, while 500 came to denote the part of the company focused on turbine engine development. The 600s were reserved for rocket and missile product. And finally, the burgeoning jet transport aircraft division of the company was assigned the number 700.
As the company prepared its Model 700 jet for commercial sales, Boeing’s marketing department swept in and rightfully suggested that the name didn’t exactly roll of the tongue. Instead, the 700 was rechristened the alliterative 707. The 717 followed the pattern, with subsequent decades bringing with them the 727, 737, 747, and so on up to today’s 787 Dreamliner.

In this shot I was using a Canon EOS 1d IV coupled with a Tamron 150-600mm G2.
