This SAS A340 catches the late afternoon light as it taxies onto 28L for a long flight to Copenhagen.  In 2001, Scandinavian took delivery of their first Airbus A340-300 and currently operate eight of these aircraft with plans to remove them from service starting in 2018.  Production of the type ended in 2011 after 377 were delivered and the market dried up with the transition to twin-engined aircraft for long distance routes.  Nikon D500 w/80-400mm, processed with Aperture.
