    FLL - Feb 16

    I went to FLL briefly yesterday (twice) for work and I must say that it's like a box of collector pieces for aircraft. AThey get a lot of stuff that the NYC area just doesn't get.

    Though much of this is surely normal traffic, here's alist of what I saw.

    - Caribbean Dash-8
    - BahamasAir Dash-8
    - Peter Nygard 727
    - Capital Cargo 727
    - Spirit MD-80s (2)
    - American Eagle ATR-72
    - Some other all white ATR
    - CO 753 (2)
    - US 752 new colors (3)
    - Astar DC-8
    - Those Airborne Express prop planes
    - Air Canada 762
    - North American 752
    - That whole Miami Dolphins fleet

    There was more, but I just don't remember everything. Fun traffic to see, I really recommend checkingout that airport.

    What are Spirit MD-80's doing there? Were they flying or just parked? Spirit doesn't fly them anymore, but we have a bunch parked here at DTW.
    nwa FOREVER!

    YS-11s! Thanks Ron!

    They are just parked there. I saw three in the same spot last time I was there in October.

    Phil - I was spotting at FLL at lunch time - guess you weren't around there at that time as I didn't see a NA 752...

    phil, for an "aviation enthusiast" lke you, seems that you've found the perfect gig!
    it is mathematically impossible for either hummingbirds, or helicopters to fly. fortunately, neither are aware of this.

    Mark, I was thinking about you while I was there, wishing that you could have gotten a pic or that I had time to grab a bite. It kills me knowing how close we missed each other.
