KPHL Rare Visitors (ACTIVE)

I stopped by the Penn's Landing Heliport (P72) before heading to the airport where there were two nice Bells sitting on the tarmac.

An eye catching Bell 206, N63L. Apparently filling in for "Skyforce10".

Bell 407, N409TD, a charter flight from NYC costing a mere $4,500 one way; with a US A330 heading for PHL.

I was back at PHL yesterday to pickup my mom and was able to get some photos while I was there.

There was another Saudi medevac G-V parked at Atlantic this time, HZ-MS4.
Obviously couldn't get a good pic of it...

As Mateo pointed out [they] weren't here for the UN but I remember last year PHL saw the Tunisia 737 BBJ (TS-IOO) so hopefully something nice will show up again this year!

I'm looking forward to Saturday!

If only the moon was twice as large... :wink:

Thanks, I was lucky and steeped outside at just the right time.

I had originally gone to PHL to get the first A330-200 in the new American paint but it wasn't meant to be... At the end of the day I walked away with a new airline so that was a nice consolation prize.

QTR728, oneworld departing 27L. I hate the fence but like the two ramp towers in the background.

My first shot of this Canadian airline, Voyageur Airways. VAL800 on final for runway 35 from Toronto. The flight later continued to Atlantic City before heading back to Toronto.
