Subject: [cactuswings 1996] LOG - SDF/PHX/GYR via ATL/MEM (October/November
2012)


SEA (10/29/2012)

----------------
A very early departure from Sea-Tac meant that not much went in the book
although there were lots of aircraft apparently stranded by Hurricane Sandy
(since when have there been two US Airways 757s at Sea-Tac?!)
 
US Airways           752  N201UU
US Airways           752  N936UW
 
…plus lots of Alaska Airlines 737s, parked everywhere!
 
 
ATL (10/29/2012)
----------------
The visit was very short, with just enough time to get from one flight to
another.  There were a LOT of aircraft parked up, more victims of Hurricane
Sandy, and noticeably fewer aircraft at gates.  Departure from the T
Terminal meant that (3) American Eagle CRJ700s were noted along with (2)
American MD-80s.
 
Delta               752  N900PC  winglets
Delta               M90  N957DN  at Delta TechOps
Silver Airways      SF3  N442XJ  full c/s
United Express      CR7  N507MJ  still in Stephen Wolf c/s!
 
…plus several Delta DC-9s and (2) 767s of Omni Air International.
 
 
SDF (10/29/2012)
----------------
Louisville often provides an unexpected surprise or two and this visit was
no different.
 
Delta Connection   ERJ  N572RP  #8572
Frontier           319  N933FR
IBC Airways        SF3  N431BC
                   762  N767VA  parked; no longer up to no good?!
                   762  N769VA  alongside sister ship, also a very faint
reg.
 
…plus (5) United Express Embraer RJs, some perhaps parked up due to Sandy.
 
 
SDF (10/30/2012)
----------------
I was able to do a quick circuit of the north end of the field and stumbled
across an absolute gem, possibly my sighting of the year – a Dart-powered
Convair.  How many of these can there be left in the world?  Also, on the
west side of the field there is a new railroad overpass that provides decent
views of the Compass/Republic hangar areas plus, in the distance, the UPS
facility.
 
Ameriflight         BE1  N575G
Ameristar           DFL  N158TW
DSM                 CVR  XAUNH   absolutely gorgeous!!!!
United Express      ERJ  N802HK  full c/s, in front of Compass hangar
United Express      ERJ  N839HK  light blue c/s, also at Compass
 
…plus the IBC Saab and the Vision 767s seen yesterday.
 
 
MEM (11/1/2012)
---------------
This was my first visit to Memphis since 2009 and it was depressing to see
how this hub has shriveled up in terms of passenger airplanes.  On a
positive note, one side of the Y shaped main concourse was closed for what
appeared to be a complete replacement of the ramp concrete – maybe there's
hope for the future.  Sadly, there was not much/anything of any interest
airplane-wise seen here during my ~45 minute connection.
 
 
PHX (11/1/2012)
---------------
There was nothing at the Mesa hangar (possibly the former Mesa hangar?) and
the airport here was pretty quiet.
 
US Airways Express   CRJ  N506CA  #SWE
 
 
GYR (11/2/2012)
---------------
A full log follows, there were some interesting changes since my visit about
six weeks ago.

                     772  N321LF  ex-SQ c/s, engines still installed

reason.
