:arrow: Counting Down to Southwest’s Arrival at LaGuardia!
Notes:
* Planes should arrive around 3pm, according to information in other threads
* Runway 13/31 is closed for construction. Winds may be favorable for runway 4 to be in use, making the arrival visible from Planeview Park.
* Click the link above for more info!
There's an error in your link Matt. Loads the page and then bombs out.
Sorry to be a bit off topic, but does anyone know if SW is going to bring only 73Gs or a mix of 733 and 73Gs??
FYI, the Southwest people are expecting the flight to land at LGA at about 4:00 or 4:15.
All the flights are scheduled to be -700's however there is always the option of MX or WX causing a swap out to a -300.Quote:

Matt, I'm running Firefox and didn't have any problems accessing that page.
Track the flight here on flightaware:

Works fine for me. Feel free to use any of my pics even though they are lousy.Quote:

I think I have fixed it on our end. If you continue to have problems, please let me know. Also, updating to Flash 10 seems to eliminate it either way.Quote:

I'm going to head over to Planeview soon for the first one.

I would guess since one is coming from Dallas Love Field it will have WN execs on board for tomorrows festitivies. This probably is one of the more significant new station openings for WN in recent times me thinks. I am not at LGA today but looking forward to many good shots guys!
Cheers

Doesn't seem to be on there yet. I found it on BWI's flight status site.Quote:

Great catch from the Landing Lights Park Matt. I watched it on approach from my house.
Here is the second flight from BWI:

Nice shots, Matt! I was over at Planeview Park - there was one other spotter (from NYC, but not a regular here), I was wondering where everyone was.

Over the Grand Central Parkway for the first time.

Touchdown!

According to Airfleets.net, N939WN is one of SWA's newest 737-700s, delivered June 15.
Nice shots, Moose! Sorry I didn't see you, I rushed to Landing Lights and got there just in time, and then I went home.
Just discovered this is Southwest's newest plane, seems it was delivered just a few days ago! [Edit: I guess we discovered that around the same time]
As soon as WN landed at LGA, how many hear the other airlines groan right at touch down? :lol:

Probably not. The number of New Yorkers going to LGA to take a 30 min flight to BWI is small, and vice versa. That small number carried by US now will only get smaller once WN grabs a chunk of the market. The main reason anyone flies the route, especially WN, is for connecting pax, and US doesn't have a whole lot of connecting action going on between LGA and BWI.Quote:

Glad to see some Canyon Blue in NYC! =)
Start looking for those special schemes!! :borat:
The first BWI-LGA flight Sunday morning was a -300. Maybe that will be a Sunday-only thing, it was a -700 today.Quote:
