Boeing 747-400 (N465MC)

Atlas Air (GTI) B744, N465MC, on the Atlantic Aviation ramp as the dawn sunlight begins to find its way to shine through dark clouds. The rain had stopped falling about 45 minutes before this pic was taken.
This gorgeous Queen of the Skies was preparing to depart for a flight to Cherry Point (KNKT). Some of the hundreds of US Marines boarding this flight had been stranded here in Reno since Saturday when an Omni Air International Triple 7 that was enroute to pick them up was forced to divert to Dallas. Those Marines had been given rooms at a downtown Reno Casino, and the ones I spoke with did not seem to be very upset about being stranded in Reno for three days.
