What is this?

[Munden]

It's an American Airlines Boeing 767-300/ER

Here's an image of just such an aircraft at this airport. (http://www.airliners.net/open.file?id=1176882&WxsIER)

Looking around, you can see just how overexposed much of the area is. Even aircraft that are just plain white look very odd. This aircraft has a polished aluminum skin. The coloration is a mixture of the bright sunlight, shining skin, and the red lettering of the company brand.

This aircraft disappeared with the imagery updates of 29 March 2007.
