A Brief Stop in Cincinnati

 Last week, I had to go down to Toyota in Georgetown, Kentucky for a presentation on some quality issues.  It was a nice day as I was heading back, so I first stopped at the plane spotting park for the Cincinnati Airport.

The spotting park is in a pretty nice location.  It gives a pretty decent view of most of the runways (except for the one that is behind the buildings in this picture).  Sadly, I did not have my proper camera so all these pictures were taken with my cell phone but that proves the adage that the best camera is the one you have with you.  Unfortunately, I had to use the maximum zoom, so quite a bit of detail was lost.

This was a Kalitta Air 747 that was getting loaded for somewhere.

An American Airlines Airbus A320.  I'm not sure where this was coming in from because I can't really read the tail numbers but I do like the picture.

A 737 belonging to Amazon.  It was pretty cool to see some liveries that I don't normally see.

A hawk that was flying around near the park.

An United Airlines Embrear.

This Embrear belonged to American Airlines.

A Frontier Airlines plane coming in.  This had the Grizzly Bear on the tail.

This is an A330 that belongs to Amazon.

After the stop at the airport, I stopped at Devou Park.  I love the view of Cincinnati from here.  It was still a nice enough day.

I was able to catch a river barge as she sailed along the Ohio River.

Another view of the Cincinnati skyline.  Again, I wish I had my proper camera.

One more view of the river barge before moving on my way.

I apologize that I haven't done many updates to my blog lately.  It has been pretty cold lately and I haven't felt up to dealing with that.  I think it's supposed to start warming up again, so that will help.  

Sunday Afternoon Spotting

 I was going to watch the Lions this afternoon but as it looked like they had things well in hand, I decided to head to the airport to take pictures.  It looked like a nice day for planewatching with some cool planes coming in.

First up was an A321 that was coming in from Bean Town.

I'm not sure where this Cessna Citation was coming from, but it was pretty cool to catch.

A more straight on shot.

A 717 that was coming in from Savannah.

A more straight on shot.

One of the planes that got me out.

It of course was a 757-200.

This particular one was coming in from Atlanta.

A couple more pictures because I like the 757.

And one more.

The next plane that I was looking forward to.

This one is an A340 belonging to Lufthansa.

It was coming in from Frankfurt.

Another shot, because I like this plane.

An A321 coming in from Fort Myers.

An A330 that was coming in from Frankfurt.  I bet it took right after the A340.

A Spirit Airlines A320 coming in from LaGuardia.  I was happy to see this plane because I like this livery and I thought they painted over all of them.

An A320 coming in from Miami.

An American Eagle E175 coming in from LaGuardia.

Another Cessna Citation.

This one was coming in from Cleveland.

A 737 coming in from Tampa.

Another angle of that plane.

An American Eagle CRJ-900 coming in from Reagan National Airport in Washington DC.

Another angle of that plane.

An A321 coming in from LaGuardia.  Seems likes lots of planes coming from there.

Another angle of that plane.

Another plane that I was looking forward to seeing.

This was a Royal Jordanian 787 coming in from Amman.

It has been a while since I've seen this plane.

A Sun Country 737 coming in from Minneapolis.

An A330 coming in from Paris.

An American Eagle 737 coming in from Charlotte.

This Delta 737 was bringing folks back from Cancun.

Apparently, it was A330 day.

This plane was coming back from London.

An A320 that was coming back from Palm Beach.  If you look in the bottom right hand corner, you can see a 757 in the downwind leg of the approach pattern.  I think that was the one coming in from Atlanta.

One more A330.

It was flying in from Amsterdam.

Another 757.

But this one was a 757-300.

It was coming in from Orlando.

One more.

A United E175 coming from Newark.

A 737 coming in from Fort Myers.

And I end this post with a 757.

This particular one was coming from Atlanta.

I'm pretty sure this was a repositioning flight.

One more.

Sorry, I have one more.

Like I said, it was a pretty good day of spotting but it was starting to get chilly out.
