20231225_184850.jpg
Before starting I want to take a moment to appreciate all the work that I have put in building the airport and I thank all the interested.
As you can see from the overview of the airport, we are packed of action with delayed and diverted flights.

20231225_185406.jpg
Starting the update from the left we got a Douglas dc 8 of Worldways Canada coming from Montreal for a charter flight, but due to weather problems in Chicago it got diverted.
Parked on the right side its another plane in the same situation, a Douglas dc10 of Canadian was enroute from Toronto to Chicago, also diverted due to low visibility and snow.

20231225_185419.jpg
At the Delta Airlines gate we got a special visitor, Dayton usually got dc8 fligths only Sunday, but due to high request a dc8 was scheduled for today flight, flight DL908 should take off at 10:35 am for his Atlanta rotation.
Behind the dc8 there is a Boeing 727-200 being pushed back 2 hours late for flight DL1308 to Cleveland. Also at the Delta terminal its a Comair Emb 120 going to Detroit as OH1533

20231225_185433.jpgAt the Usair Part of Councorse A a Trans Midwest Airlines metroliner its embarking passengers for flight 7T1926 to Columbus.

While the Boeing 727 its going to Louisville as flight AL80.

20231225_185441.jpg

The first Piedmont plane its going to Dallas (PI22), while the Boeing 737 is going to Boston (PI431), passing on the taxiway behind its a Emery Worldwide dc8 going to Miami, due to high request during the holiday its not rare to find Emery Worldwide planes around the airprot during day.

20231225_185507.jpg
Flight PI153 its getting de-iced for his on time departure to Grand Rapids. The de-icing crews are working over time today, due to freezing temperatures.

PI 442 to Kalamazoo and PI418 to Evansville are at the gate getting serviced. (not pictured)

It's interesting that TWA seemed to serve completely different cities out of Dayton than from Indianapolis. From IND, they went to STL, MCI, JFK, and MSP.

If you go back a few years, you'd get TW22/189, an L10 that went LAX to DAY to IND and back to LAX. It carried both flight numbers on the DAY to IND leg. Later on, it went to CMH instead of DAY.

Twa had large part of councorse B at Dayton but I cant find much information on routes, cause for departed flights they had just a few destinations....

According to the detailed schedules link (Feb 1985) at the bottom, they had (in addition to STL and MCI) Detroit, Columbus, and Cincinnati. From Indy, they had (in addition to STL and MCI) Memphis, New York (JFK and LGA), and Washington National.

They had dropped MSP by 1985. The list of destinations I gave earlier is from the mid 70s.
