HOLMES Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Very beautiful Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Moose135 Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Sunday wasn't a great day for spotting, but it marked the first regularly scheduled Southwest flights into CLT, so I was out for a while. I wasn't expecting to see this guy with the shift to Southwest metal, but I heard it was a divert into CLT, not sure why. Falcon 2000 owned by a local financial services company (not mine!) Listening to tower giving taxi instructions was like something out of Airplane!: "505 Romeo Romeo, turn right on taxiway Romeo." "Roger, 505 Romeo Romeo, right on Romeo..."

Moose135 Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 (edited) Thanks, Holmes, I really appreciate it! Here's one more for you... The NY Knicks are in town to play the Bobcats. This is Madison Square Garden's 737-400 used for their flight down. I almost forgot it was going to be here today, and by chance happened to be near the airport after work and swung by to check.

dylan Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 not a bad day for me Quote Link to post Share on other sites
caudleryan Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 No pictures, but I've been seeing a V-22 Osprey the past few days flying over my house. Maybe I should return that $140 million from that bank heist a few months ago. It's probably from Fort Rucker or somewhere else getting ready for deployment. RYAN.

chukw Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 (edited) No pics, but as I was driving home last night an A380 came rocketing up out of LAX- I've never seen one before! At first I thought it was a seven-four, but the double row of windows gave it away. Man, these buggers is BIG!! It seemed to go slowly, even though I knew it was blasting out like any other carrier.

tdogg Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Bump... This guy snuck up on me so this was the best shot I got.... @#$*! power lines!!!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HOLMES Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Tdogg, Excellent sharp photography. Some real STUNNERS...you take some real SUPERB photos .....yes I liked your night shots over there... if ZOOMER sees this it will make his day. Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tdogg Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Thanks Holmes!! Had an interesting day to say the least!!! These shots are un-edited and there's a lot of 'em so bear with me lol. Seeing this bird on the airport's webcam is what prompted me to go spotting today as we don't get much russian hardware passing through. The L1011 was a nice surprise but sadly this heat hazed photo was all I could get as she wasn't going anywhere anytime soon...In fact I didn't think I'd get to see the Antonov fly either but got lucky as you'll soon see Factory fresh! Ending this leg of the journey from Glasgow. The newer challengers look so futuristic from this angle This King air did 3 touch'n'goes before finally landing. Porter Q400 with the new hotel in the background Rotate! Another one!!! Who are all these rich people and how can I meet them???? The first of 2 Cubana flights, this one is a charter from Avion Express Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tdogg Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 yup more! The usual suspects... A local charter company a stubby little fella medevac on the way! And Cubana Flight #2 Adios!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PNW_Modeler Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 I haven't been able to capture it on film yet, but I have been hearing and getting glimpses of Boeing's DreamLifter cargo plane lately. Yesterday I came out of the grocery store in time to see it pop through an opening in the clouds and disappear in another bank. That thing is LOUD. On Saturday morning, I was heading across the Puget Sound on one of the ferry's and saw a P-51D with invasion stripes. The sun was glinting off the nose in a way I couldn't tell what kind of coloring it had up front, but with how low it was and it's direction of flight, my buddy and I assumed it was heading to Payne Field in Everett where Paul Allen has his Flying Heritage Museum.

tdogg Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Thanks Dylan I was happily surprised to see it. I think that Herc is from Tunisia, which would make it even more rare! Nice!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Moose135 Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 That C-130H is from the Tunisian Air Force. Nice catch, Dylan! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dylan Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 (edited) thanks for the info guys update: definately Tunisia (which btw doesn't rhyme with Herky) I was just over watching them unload 3 single hueys from the back, they are having them rebuilt by a company here.

Moose135 Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 The CLT Overview was closed for a week for the latest episode of Security Theater. It reopened Monday, and I took a ride out tonight after work. Longer days mean more evening flights arrive in the daylight, and this is the first 762 I've seen since last fall. Caught the Steelers logo jet According to Airfleets.net, this is US Airways' newest jet, delivered in late March. Saw this Challenger 300 departing. Registration comes back to a leasing company in Connecticut, but a little digging online shows that the airplane belongs to the Bank of Central America (BAC). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
toaster Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 I live in the traffic pattern of my airport. One Cessna Skyhawk, several IFTA Beech's, and a Bell 407 (our local air ambulance). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dylan Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 I'll see your rich guy in a Challenger 300 and raise you a really rich guy in a 747. according to the security guy it is actually the grand poobah himself on board. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
