DTW has one daily departure to KEF on Iceland Air @ 20:30 with the 737MAX and one daily departure on Delta @ 20:30 with the 757-200. They race each other every night

I could see Delta or United adding an additional flight like that on top of what we already have here. very unlikely, but would be fun to see. Ours arrives at 7:20pm and an 8:30 departure. I think we’re 5/6 days a week right now like I mentioned before.

Haven’t posted in a little while but i’ve still been catching lots of cool stuff recently. Let’s start in chronological order. These first handful were from June 29.

Retro AA



Brand new jet coming through! FR24 marks it under a different aircraft currently


Won’t be seeing these much longer!


Now we’re onto the morning of July 4th!

I wish I had just a bit more room on this one! Maybe next time the stairs and private plane won’t be there



A bunch of our stationed C17s parked and quiet.

The big July 4th visitor! An AirX Charters A340-300 chartered from Saudi Arabia. Presumably, carrying military personnel home from the middle east.







I didn’t catch anyone disembarking but it sat here on the ramp all night till the next day it left for newark.

Two special Southwests in one morning on the 5th!



A very shredded ain’t job on this E145XR


Amazon Plen

Bradenton A320!


Another Southwest special crossed off my list, Arizona One!


A classic US Airways bird, second A319 delivered to them in the late 90s





G-ZBJB, the same as the 1:400 model I own from Gemini!



737-700BBJ that was parked at the ramp for a few days. He left recently for Zurich. You’ll see more of him later

Two diversions from IAD on the 12th. the united turned back around about 3 hours sitting at the C gates but the Saudi sat on the ramp for hours, dealing with crew time outs and lots and lots of paper work to continue onwards.










The money shot with the united 777 taxing to 28L for departure to IAD


A group of 7 T6 Texan IIs from Florida were visiting that day as well. It was cool to see them so close as they were parked only feet from the fence!

 

[bakejobb_23]

Another good money shot





More C17 content:




And a winglet-less UPS 763 for fun


I have a few more to go on the editing side of things but i’ll post them as I get to them. Enjoy all the recent shots!
