the pink DAL go-around was pretty interesting, they literally climbed out right above my tower. also, noticed a second canadian challenger at 5 towers when i was leaving work. they must have just come in as the airplane was just being coned off at the time.

'tis another interesting day. not a single drop of rain fell on our ramps, but we're definately feeling the effects of the ground delay program. over the past 4 hours we has as many airplanes actually make it in the LGA, the rest never left where they were coming from. what was nice was to see the two canforce challengers depart within quick sucession of each other, they're loaded down with a lot of fuel and used about 2/3 of the runawy to get airborne. i'm still waiting to see that global though.

we had a very unique visitor in Airways-Land. cactus 58 diverted to us from JFK this morning, the flight just pushed back off the gate as AWE9030... nonstop to LAS. hopefully, we'll be seeing this more often in the near future. i believe mr. smith will have visual aids for us soon.
Ferry I guess?Quote:

I guess I underestimated the VR 2500, and engine whe have never seen at US LGA until today. BTW the Reg was N831AW and it was nice hearing the Cactus call sign at LGA after a long absense.Quote:

Ron I thought all US flights were now under the Catcus call sign or did the pilots not agree to this yet?Quote:

Indeed it was cool to hear a Cactus callsign!!

6-26, Was not here yet to see it but Ryan 757 N151GX visited LGA this morning, parked at Delta's gates.
Don't think I have ever seen one of these here before.

Right now the Penalty Box over by the five towers is longer than the line for takeoff. Theres only about 3 planes at the end of 4 for takeoff and probably 25 planes over by AA BB CC just waiting....Another lovely day at LGA
got a shot of the parking lot?Quote:
