Thanks Rob.

Do you know if they still have their three hole Falcon?  Not sure what model it is, have just seen the tail poking out of thier hangar once in a while.

I just had a nice spotting evening within an hour I was able to catch:

Swift 737
Swift 727
Southwest "Green" Airplane
Delta "Grammy Awards"
2x hornets
2x cobra (at a very very far distance, but still there)

Not as special
Aero Mexico
Westjet
Southwest with Wifi plane

Pics up later.

[Dave S.]

Wow!  Is the Swift 727 the same as the coyotes 727?

[redsox223]

No the swift 727 has winglets and paint similar to the 737

Note - The female pilot on the radio had one of the most beautiful voices ive heard.

Hmm - not bad.

Here's my shot.  I JUST missed this - it crossed right in front of me as I was approaching the berm at the end of 40th street.  I said a lot of swear words.

[Joe Copalman]

I had better luck this morning.

Good seeing you out there, Mitchell.

[redsox223]

It was nice to have some company



Look at this, and security or ops didnt even check this person out.

US Airways
Boeing 767-2B7/ER

Diversion to Sky Harbor for fuel on her way to Hawaii, she was encountering strong headwinds.

This is the shot I got after messing up my ankle jumping over the wall.  At least I got the shot before I threw in the towel and went home to have a date on the couch with a big bag of frozen peas!

It was a pretty productive day at PHX today, with some not-so-typical traffic.  As Matt posted above, there was a brief stop by a US Airways 767 for some additional fuel, we also had some F-18 departures.  Also had Honeywell landing on 07R, but a landing on 07R doesn't offer a very decent picture from 40th St.

Okay - so I'm a big fan of the exhaust heat and I've cropped the original image to reflect that preference...
