KMIA - March 15th Morning -

After my Opa Locka visit, I finally had my first experience shooting at MIA. I went to "The Holes" location as they were taking off and landing on the 8's with a few 12's here and there. I'll save you the 100 or so AA 737's and share the one's I liked the best.

As you can probably see in this shot, the heat haze was getting really bad. So I packed it up and headed north.
Look for FLL/FXE pictures next week. Thanks for looking!

Love the variety, good to see some battleship grey still floating around. Thanks for sharing.

Way to go John! Sweet set ..... I got to make it down there for a day or two of spotting! Nice variety.

Great set John!

Nice set, love the holes...can't wait to be back in Miami sometime soon.

Great Set!

Awesome set of shots John!!!

SkyLease on 08R is unusual. I was in Miami for 7 months and I saw them exclusively use 09. Did they move their ops to the new North-side facility along 36th St (that could explain it)?

Great set, John !

Uhhh...Air France A320?

Air France has been flying usually 2 narrow body aircraft from MIA to the French speaking Caribbean Islands going back to at least the Caravelle days, I think they serve around 8 total including SXM.

Great pics BTW.

Cheers

Tis: They were on the North East side of the airport, so I'm thinking yes.
Ron: Thanks for the clarification on the AF 320!

And thanks to all for the kind words.

Kick ass stuff! I would have liked to see the 100 737's :biggrin:

Great stuff from MIA john!! Man I have got to get my arse down there!

As Ron said they fly that plane all over French Caribbean. I've shot it at SXM

Very cool, John! What a great variety of stuff!
