The taxi stands at Bangor International Airport were lined with fire trucks. The lane by the International Arrival Terminal was lined with ambulances from several local cities, towns and agencies. If you weren’t paying attention on your way up Godfrey Boulevard, you would have thought you were going into a major incident at the airport. However, that … More BGR Holds Mass Casualty Drill

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
After seeing the very first A319 for American Airlines stop in Bangor on Thursday, the second of 240 stopped in today for a fuel and customs stop. Fortunately for us spotters, the clouds started to burn off and by the time they departed, lighting was much better. A lot better than the 10 minutes post … More Another AAL A319 Comes to Bangor
It was a busy week and Saturday proved to be excellent for spotting at BGR. Earlier in the week there was a C27J stopping by along with an AWE A321 diversion for fuel from Hamburg Finkenwerder en route to Newark, a UTAir 737-800 with some sexy winglets, P-3’s, C-17’s as well as Interjet and Volaris … More Weekend Spotting
