KPIT Spotting

Dark and a bit blurry but this Qantas 787-9 diverted here a few weeks ago, originally bound for JFK. It sat at the international terminal overnight and was scheduled to leave for New York at 4:30. I hung around ALL DAY for it to just in time leave before the sun finally dipped below the horizon (near 8pm). I’m happy to have grabbed the first ever Qantas plane to land in Pittsburgh.

The next round of photos will be from a short trip I made to philly this past weekend. A few new angles from inside the terminal plus more. Still going through those photos so bear with me

Enjoy!

Charter season has begun to heat up (not for us in ATL)! We've gotten Tampa on a standard A332 charter, and the Commies are in town this week for the first UA charter of the season. Did you head out to see the Aer Lingus charter for the Steelers?

Nice pics! Love the Atlas Jumbo! also very nice to see you got the Qantas 787 aswell.

I was outside doing yard work when it landed and I was bummed thinking it had left or was leaving shortly after. The next day I was talking to a friend and he said it was still here and I and immediately went out the door. Safe to say I could have waited a little while longer lol.

That Qantas pic is stunning!

Thanks! I wish it turned out better but im glad its my own and I got to see it with my own two eyes. Great future memory there.

I did not. Theres actually the second one on the ground right now. I probably should go out and grab it but life has been a bit crazy with some family stuff so Im choosing to hang back and get the house and my life straightened out instead. I was actually scheduled to fly back to PHL today and I probably could have seen it land from inside the terminal. A bummer for sure but there will always be other fun things in the future.
