Clear Skies and Cool Planes

 I realize that I haven't been posting alot lately.  I was going to go to Cleveland on Labor Day weekend for the air show but my mom ended up going in the hospital, so that canceled that.  She is feeling better and is in rehab now, so that's good.  I've also been pretty busy at work and haven't felt like doing much on the weekend but I saw that there was a ship coming down that I haven't seen in a while.  But I had a little time and I saw that a 757 was coming in, so I stopped at the airport first.

This one was kind of a surprise.  It is an A220 and I haven't seen one in a while, so I was happy to catch it.

It was coming in from Raleigh-Durham.

It was followed by an A321 coming in from Boston.  This one has 313 in the tail number, so I guess it's appropriate that it would be coming to Detroit.

I'm not sure what this one is.  I think it is also an A321 but I didn't write down the tail number, so I don't know where it was coming from.

This is a 717 and it was coming in from Charlotte.

An A320 coming from Miami.

Another angle of that plane.

A Cessna 340A coming in from somewhere.

Another 717.

This one was coming in from Newark.

Another A321.  This one was coming in from Orlando.

And the plane I was waiting for.

This was a 757.

It was coming in from Keflavik.

This gives me hope that I might see Hekla someday.

A couple more pictures.

Because I like 757.

A CRJ-900 coming in from Dulles.

And one from Columbus.

And we end with a 737MAX from Baltimore.

A Brief Stop at the Airport

After catching the ship, I didn't quite want to head back home, so I took a look to see what was coming into the airport and it looked like there were a few interesting planes.  So I stopped at the airport on the way home.

First up was a Spirit Airlines A320 coming in from Atlanta.

A Delta Airlines 737 coming in from Las Vegas.  The planes were all landing on the west side of the airport, so that made this a little easier.

A CRJ-900 coming in from Pittsburgh.

It was followed by a Spirit Airlines A320neo.

This one was coming in from Las Vegas as well.

An Alaska Airlines 737 coming in from Seattle.

Another 737, this one was coming in from Minneapolis.

One of the planes that I was waiting for.

A Fed Ex 767.

This was flight 505 from Memphis.

Another of the planes that I was waiting for.

This was a Turkish Airlines 787.

It was coming in from Istanbul (not Constantinople).

This is one that I wasn't expecting.  It was a Southwest 737 from Baltimore.  If it looks a little blurry, it was taken through my window.

One of the other planes that I was looking for.

This is an Air France A350.

It was coming from Paris.

I am growing to like the looks of these planes.

But I still like the 787 more.

An A220-300.

This is the largest version of the A220.

It was coming in from Houston.

An a321 coming in from LaGuardia.

Another Southwest 737.  This one was a MAX and it was coming from Midway.

A Sun Country 737 coming in from Gulf Port.

A CRJ-900 coming in from MBS airport near Bay City, MI.

A 717.

This is the final descendant of the DC-9.  These are going to be retired within the next few years.  This one was coming in from Buffalo.

The last of the planes that I was looking for.

And of course it is a 757.

This particular one was coming in from Atlanta.

I think it is a transfer plane.

One more shot.
