United Airlines 772, N794UA, in Star Alliance livery and Icelandair 752 just diverted to PHL from IAD due to storms.
Add a Brussels Air A330 and a British Airways 767-300ER to that list!
And a Lufthansa A330-300! Whoever was there made out like a bandit!

Yesterday's only picture!
Where is everyone? I haven't uploaded lately because on the 10th, I was at JFK all day, on the 11th, I had a small case of carbon monoxide poisoning due to the cars on Belt Pkwy. and Conduit! The 12th, I visited KPHL briefly, and on the 13th, I visited KPNE! Pictures are coming soon!

That's too bad about AF6. They filed a diversion to PHL, but then un-diverted and continued on to JFK.
I skipped lunch waiting for diversions (I saw Swissair and a Delta 752) but I kept on telling my dad 5 minutes until 5:00 to notice it was a Flightaware phantom. I felt like an ass because my dad doesn't really like the E-190s, A320s, and 737s (unless they are the classic style 737!)
I saw it too... My set will be up soon!

KPHL on 7/16-7/18/2014
Just saw the FRYS 727-200 over my house at KPHL!
I had to drop someone off at the airport so I used that as a good excuse to do some spotting.
Unfortunately it was pretty much completely overcast the whole time but I tried to make the best of it.
PHL was using the 9s.

Then the highlight of the day/week/month. It's great to see an active 727!
The Fry's/San Jose Shark's charter plane (N724YS). Not sure why it's in town...

Nice shots Kiffy. I really like your shots of that 727, i'm actually kind of jealous! I'm jealous because whenever I try to picture a plane at Atlantic, I always get attention from the cops! This marked my 3rd Atlantic questioning today in a month. Luckily, the cop knew me so h didn't chase me!
"Illinois One" just landed.
And an American 738 in Oneworld livery is about to land. It took an interesting route around the storms...
Thanks and sorry to hear that. All I can say is just take the advice in the other thread and I hope those encounters don't discourage you from the hobby.Quote:

As for the Illinois One and OneWorld AA, I didn't see them but I'm pretty confident I will get the Oneworld again but I am not worried about Illinois One since I already got it! I am currently planning on going early tomorrow morning to catch the DHL/ABX 762 for one of the last times I could as PHL is getting DHL service courtesy of Southern Air. I am hoping we get a 747-400 but I'm pretty skeptical. A 77W wouldn't be bad either but I wouldn't really be satisfied with a demotion to 734 service!
Both American West retros will make semi back-to-back arrivals around 12:50pm.
N828AW
N838AW
NFL Cardinals logojet should be returning to Philly as flight 728, eta 7:10pm.
UAL1425 should be operated by N26210 in Star Alliance livery, now delayed, eta 5:30pm.
From what I've read it seems like the new 734 service is in addition to the 762:Quote:

According to Wikipedia, the DHL 767-200ER is going to stop coming on July 31st and will be replaced by a smaller 737-400 on August 1st! I probably won't be there for the AW retros but will try and get them departing. UAL 1425 is not going to be a Star Alliance, but United is sending a 752 at 3:15 PM to compliment yesterday's 753 arrival from KIAD! What is Arizona Cardinals logojet's reg as I may come out again for an improved shot as well as the FedEx MD-10/11 bunch as well as BAW 69!Quote:

I got that, followed up by a US Airways A321 and a Delta MD-88 that decided to join the fray, but when British Airways 69 arrived (788, G-VDJD) my camera's battery died without warning so I just felt disgusted that I tried so hard for nothing so I just opened the battery door and slammed the batteries into a tree! So if your looking for my video, it wont be up just as a heads up! http://nycaviation.com/forum/images/...lies/frown.png
That's why you always carry a spare battery when out spotting!Quote:

It’s a shame the new livery is so bland from the front. Although I do like that they put the ship number on the underside of the wing.

Last time I saw Shamu, I foolishly stayed on the arrival side as I was awaiting a Lufthansa A346, so it's now or never for Shamu and the penguin one!

A bit delayed but here's a recap of some morning arrivals from Tuesday.
I went to get the new Southern Air/DHL 734 that so far has only come in the one day while the ABX 762 has come in the rest of the week. It was also nice to see the FC Barcelona special show up again.

Wow DHL 737? Looks like a trip back down to PHL might be in order!
Is that reg N495SA?
Senga
Southern Air has ordered five 737-400s:
N493SA
N494SA
N495SA
N496SA
N230PA
They're flying from CVG to PHL under the callsign "SOO587" scheduled to arrive around 5-6am but last week only came in the one day at 8am.
The departing flight is well after sunset.
Online trackers are very inconsistent with this fleet.
It would be an honor to spot with you Senga, just tell me when!
Where were you Kiffy? I have the same FC Barcelona angle as you!
Thanks for posting the reg Kiffy,
Definitely one I need to get sooner than later.
Senga
Kiffy .... Nice variety and catches .... Keep'em coming!
Oh anyway, there is an Antonov An-124 at KPHL as we speak! August 17 also marks the last 734 flight for US Airways (will be arriving at 5 PM)
I was along the tree line, on the western side of that canal.Quote:
