The new hangar of the Air and Space Museum is near Dulles Airport in Washington. This statue sits out front, and as we left this 747 flew past in the background. It almost looks like it's perched atop the spire.

I thought it was perched atop the statue...fantastic timing!!!

Wow, amazing!!

Cool! Have you checked out airliners.net? It is where photogs with interest in airliners post their pics.

Now that is a stupendous catch!! Way to be on task!! ;-)

Great capture! I had to look again after starting to read that there was a staue thinking the 747-4 was part of it.

i thought it was attached too and I was like "How the heck is that possible?!?! great shot Sarah!
