My personal photo is the independence. That chair is a six-pack and it is green, not black, although the windows might give it that appearance. Attached File  topstation2.jpg (51.49K)

Isn't it odd that "politics" is made up of the word "poli" meaning many, and "tics" meaning blood-sucking creatures?

When you were thinking of a black painted lift I think you might have been thinking of the Ruby Express, which is much like the Indy.

Adblock in Firefox effectively removes about 90% of the avatars on the site. It'd be a pain to change all the settings so i can't see them all but i'm sure they're awsome.

First of all the lift pictured in that shot is a quad if you look closely. Secondly its not that hard to get a good shot out the window if you are positioned right, thirdly, every time I've flown in to Denver in the past few years has been on an ERJ-145 or 140. Embraer has done well with the RJ series.

Are you a pilot? I don't see any other way you could have taken a picture that good. Also, I never see ERJ-145s @ DIA and I go there alot.
<{POST_SNAPBACK}>


No I'm not a pilot. I actualy take alot of pictures out of the windows of planes although most of them don't turn out this well especialy since this was taken with a really cheap digital. Also I looked at the Itenerary for the trip it was east of Colorado Springs not Denver. And for other plane nuts like me Its a ERJ-145XR. Heres The picture in its larger size

I think you have it backwards, highspeedquad. Independence is black and Ruby is green. I've ridden both of them in the past year. No big deal though

No, the Indy is green and the Ruby is black. Here are some pictures. The first is clearly the Indy. The second you can tell is the Ruby if you look at the operation station.
