Rare(?) 747

The air traffic around Dulles Airport has gone down considerably, or so it seems. Most of the jets going out internationally seem to leave in the evening. Tonight, for the first time in a long time, I saw the Lufthansa Airlines 747 take off due north, and watched it until it made it's eastbound course change over the Potomac River.

I usually see it outbound on the Maryland side, as it climbs toward the clouds. Oh to be on that jet...or to go someplace!!!
