I was down at the end of concourse D yesterday and I saw 3 C130's land one after another on 23. They landed very close together, which made me wonder, are...
Drew, There are different separation rules for military aircraft. I don't have the 7110.65 (rule book) with me because I am out of town, but you can find a...
I imagine the military being more hardened than the average airline passenger can get away with close formation! Imagine the lines for the bathroom if US...
I was at the viewing area a few weeks ago and 3 X C130s taxied over to 18r for departure. I was really suprised when all three of them entered the runway at...
Yes- and thats the other part- each left four very distinct trails of smog lingering behind it (one for each engine). Is this due to age/ bad maintenance, or...
Nope! Military can get away with what they wan't. Just like farmers using cheaper, less refined diesel in their equipment. Military equipment uses cheaper less...
Good Morning/Evening First and foremost, let me apologize for the header I used in hopes of grabbing everyone's attention. As several months have past, Lyndon...
I am still around...I just bought a new house though and am moving in this weekend so it has pretty much consumed my time. I am picking my wife up at AVL...
I've been traveling for much of the winter so not much CLT action lately. Got back from LAX this morning on the redeye, some photos from LAX attached, enjoy...
I'm still here too...... Any chance we can re-instate the Carolina site? It was starting to attract a lot more attention than this site before it was shut...
The CarolinaPlaneSpotting.org domain name expired, and we had lost a spot to host it... Matt's buddy had something set up on his server, but I think he moved...
With regards to what you said about Midwest- I spoke with the Midwest guy here in CLT who does everything (ticketing, gate/ramp agent, etc) and he said that...
I'm still here as well, but I've resolved to cut back on my Charlotte spotting this year. You can only take so many US Airways shot, you know? I did manage...
Yes, Midwest will cease flights into CLT in a few weeks. Midwest are rumoured be be taken over by Air Tran soon. DLH flights will go to A340- 600 service...
Lyndon, some interesting info and sounds like CLT continues to do well, very nice! Lyndon Thorley <vc10er@...> wrote: Yes, Midwest will cease flights...
For whom are the ATA 757's being chartered in for? I thought the deal with FL and Midwest went bad? I heard that NW now has some percentage of ownership in...
Hey Lyndon That's too bad about the US/HP time change. I just got back from a 3 day trip out to SNA, going through PHX both ways. On my way through PHX the...
You mentioned that the Beech 1900 is gone from CLT is that correct?? Are they no longer using them for the 12:40 flight to Greenbrier, WV? ... A340- ... a new ...
Good call. I should have said, soon to be gone. I see the 1x flight to LWB and there are still 2x to AHN. They are going to be replaced sometime in the next...
... but I did ... There is only one New Mexico One, and its a 737-7H4! Geoff US General Aviation editor www.adusoftware.info A380 F-WWJB visits BDL! Of course...
So- you are saying then that there is a chance that the CLT-LWB could stay with the B1900- just operated by gulf stream? Any idea when this would be happening?...
Thanks Geoff.. I took the shot as we were landing in PHX and haven't gone back to look at it to see if it was a 733 or 73G. It didn't have winglets, so the...
At some point this year, Mesa/Air Midwest is going to end a lot of their affiliated B-1900 flying. I'm not sure if they'll still do local routes out of ABQ....
Joe, New Mexico is N781SW. Here is an old photo scanned from a slide when she was in brown prior to winglets! She now has a blue tail, and last time she passed...
Another thought that would come to mind for me would be when does it stop being cost effective to operate the B1900 into these smaller markets. I know this is...
I think the bigger issue with Mesa/Air Midwest reducing their B-1900s flights may be tied to their big financial loss in courts with the Hawaiian Airlines...
Hi Geoff, How about that. I just went & downloaded the pics & sure enough NM One has winglets. I guess I need to look at my pics before posting. I went &...
