Hi all - I hope this posts finds everyone well and ready for the fall to begin.
I was very fortunate to spend the summer with an international carrier at Washington-Dulles as an Airport Management Intern. I learned a great deal about the airport environment and had many wonderful experiences. Chief among them would have to be the unlimited ramp access that came with working in management for an airline. I was hesitant in the first few weeks to bring my camera with me outside of our designated gate area but I never had an issue and was able to make quite a few friends with other airline employees through bringing my camera around to the different aircraft.
I hesitated posting photos throughout the summer as I wanted to have a compilation thread of the many aircraft I saw. In mid-June we had a tour of our JFK facility and you'll notice one pic from that visit as well.
I hope you enjoy and please let me know if you have any questions! IAD is a very spotter friendly airport and be aware that the airport management continues to advocate and try and include aviation enthusiasts as much as possible! Keep an eye out for a Discover Dulles event in October honoring the inaugural flight of the British Airways A380 on 10/2 - should be an exciting day. ;)
