The Piedmont Pacemaker is coming soon to an airport near you

[LGA777]

Steven, the Piedmont DC-3 in your photo now belongs to the Carolina Aviation Museum and is based in CLT. I was at a US event in CLT Wednesday and got to visit with the Dir of Corp Communications who is planning the dedication ceremonies for the AL and PI 319's. I suggested to the Director that since the DC-3 is CLT based and the Piedmont 319 dedication is in CLT could we try and have the DC-3 at the dedication. She loved the idea and I set the wheels in motion I think, hopefully it will happen as it will be a great photo op and just totally COOL !

Cheers

I'm thinking after the Jones Beach airshow on Sunday I might head over to LGA to catch her... if she comes. I wouldn't mind catching the PSA bird either!

Does anyone know of either of the retro planes are routing PHL on June 4? I am going to MIA and the Keys for the week and am hoping to take some terminal shots of the jets (even though I'm taking AA, which will be tough).

Today's routing was ARA-CLT-LGA-PIT-BOS-CLT-PHX !


Enjoy,

AA777, very perceptive, our mutual friend was most accommodating as usual, Phil D, thanks again, and here is one view of (to me) a very special Airbus !

In case any of you are wondering N744P will NOT be visiting LGA over the weekend, Saturday she goes down to PLS and Sunday CUN but as of tonight she has Shuttle duty on Monday and Tuesday June 5 and 6th. I'll be back to work on Sunday and will publish an update then. Just a friendly warning, when some of you see her for the first time, you might "Fall in Love" !

Cheers
