Anchorage, Alaska Ted Stevens International Airport 747's

Yes, I'm keeping my distance. Notice that I was third in the line for take-off.

Flew up to Anchorage to pick my son up, who flew to Alaska from Phoenix for my daughter's wedding. I picked him up and we were taxing out to return to Kenai.

Noting like getting the warning, "Caution Jet Blast!" from the control tower as I was taxing, behind me was a smaller Boeing 737...Why didn't the Tower warn him of Prop Blast?

Anyway setting sun and two cargo Boeing 747s leaving on the same runway.

Yes, one of the 747's main gear is not only bigger, but twice as heavy as my little Vans RV-6.
