Last night while searching for flights to St Louis for a wedding this summer, I found a little gem through the Delta website. They will begin flying the Boeing 717-200s procured after the Air Tran/Southwest merger. When Air Tran and Southwest became one, the 717’s didn’t fit into Southwest’s all 737 fleet. Delta has absorbed … More Delta To FLy 717-200s from Bangor
I’m not going to sit here and lie to you, up until the past 3 trips to Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, I was never a fan of connecting through there. Typically, I would arrive from New York’s LaGuardia in say Terminal A and need to get to Terminal LL. Ok, so maybe not LL, maybe … More Travel Blog: ATL
I’ve been severely lacking with my updates lately. This whole working for a living gets in the way of the fun things. Back in April I visited my parents in Florida, armed with a new 300mm lens I couldn’t wait to try it out. Fortunately I planned some plane geekery at the Fun N Sun … More Travel Blog: TPA
The Commemorative Air Force Airbase Arizona is making the Hancock County-Bar Harbor Airport home to it’s beautifully restored B-17G bomber, the Sentimental Journey, from July 28th through August 7th. Leaving work a little early I made my way to KBHB to check it out. Having seen several B-17’s at air shows on static display, I’ve … More CAF Sentimental Journey

There hasn’t been a whole lot to post lately as far as new spotting activity goes. Mostly repeat REACH C-17s from McChord and Charleston, the usual Maine~iac KC-135Rs and the ever so popular ERJ/CRJ’s from Delta and US Airways. There have been some others of interest but they’re either after dark or when I’m busy at … More Recent Spotting Activity
…However, I don’t fly very comfortably. I should also mention that legroom isn’t so much the issue as the shoulder room. Or the lack thereof. This hadn’t been a major issue until about 3 years ago when I flew to Las Vegas for work to attend ConExpo/ConAgg. Really it’s my own fault for letting someone … More So I’m 6’3″ Tall and I Love to Fly…
When the ads started to showing up in the mail back in the fall for ConExpo/ConAgg 2014 in Las Vegas, my first thought was “I’ll drive to Las Vegas before I fly US Airways.” Given the first and last time I flew with them was to the same convention in Las Vegas not 3 years … More The JetBlue Experience
As I may have mentioned a time or twelve before, my day job is in the construction industry. Every three years, anyone remotely associated with the construction business flocks to the City of Sin for ConExpo/ConAgg. By day you roam the grounds at the Las Vegas Convention Center checking out the newest equipment, technology and … More Travel Blog: LAS
When I travel it is usually to Tampa for vacation which takes me on the typical LaGuardia/Tampa or LaGuardia/Atlanta/Tampa route. It is rare that I fly for work but in November I attended a conference in Raleigh for a non-profit organization that I sit on the board of. My last travel blog was the first … More Travel Blog: RDU
