[cactuswings 2010] LOG - PHX & AZA (November 2012)

SEA (11/13/2012)

----------------

It was a nondescript day at Sea-Tac other than my first booking of a Dreamliner in revenue service.

Korean Air              772  HL7764

Omni Air International  763  N342AX

PHX (11/13/2012)

----------------

On arrival at Phoenix there wasn't much of interest other than the Honeywell 757 still parked at Cutter Aviation and the forward fuselage of a 727/737 on the north side of the field.  Mesa's hangar had no airplanes though the doors were open.

 

 

PHX (11/14/2012)

----------------

There were two 727s noted on the field today, one from FedEx and another with an unfamiliar charter-like color scheme with a mostly blue tail (not the Coyotes' airplane).  Mostly, it was just cool to see two of these glorious old ladies still in service.

 

 

AZA (11/15/2012)

----------------

I took a dawn drive around Mesa's Gateway Airport to see if anything had changed since my August visit.  The answer was…not much though it was nice to catch the Intel shuttle.  A full log follows.
