What does CO have you under, as a job title; First Officer or Photographer?

Either way, mixing two great arts…fantastic shots 😀

I’ll have to check into that. 😉

The more I fly with my camera out the more I hear “Hey, can I get a copy of that!” Few want to bother with a camera but numerous people want the resulting picture. I figure 20-30 years from now future friends and family will get a real kick out of seeing these images.

WD, what’s your overall impressiong of MEX? I flew through there (inbound from LAX, cleared customs, then boarded a flight to CUN) about 6 years ago, and I thought it was absolute dump. Not a very nice place to have a 3-hour layover. Nice pics, as usual.

The airport is a nightmare to navigate through. Our hotel for the night was right there at the airport but still took us nearly 20 minutes to walk their due to the absolute lack of directional signs or anything. The next morning was just as bad as we attempted to get to the proper gate. Our flight attendant was a Mexico native thankfully but that still didn’t help. Language barrier or not, it’s a dump as you said.

They did have a 20′ model of a new terminal near the ticket counters that showed a more modern terminal layout. Less ramp hardstands and more conventional jetway gates as well as a better overall layout. I couldn’t see any information regarding when and if it would be built.

I notice that building in one of the EWR pics has Braniff written on it!

That picture was taken in Mexico City. It appears a Mexico company is reusing the old airline name.

You’ve probably told us before, but where are you based?

I’m Cleveland based but fly in and out of the Houston and Newark bases just as frequently thanks to our numerous through-flights within our system.

Here are 2 others that might be of interest…

1. Perhaps someone could shed some light on this but I was pretty suprised to see the Braniff name in Mexico. Looking at their website it seems that someone is operating a small cargo company with the Braniff name. Old airline names don’t die, they get bought and reused it seems.

2. The old control tower in EWR is getting closer to being demolished. The old firehouse at its base has been torn down and now all the glass as been removed from the old tower.

The few times I’ve seen the A-124 I’ve never seen the gear movement or even thought to look (I’m ususally distracted by its shear size). Thanks for sharing these pictures, it’ll make me be sure to watch the gear during ground operations. 🙂

I’m glad everyone likes the pictures. I must say I really enjoy being able to share North American aviation with you folks abroad, as much as I enjoy seeing your pictures as well. 🙂

Thanks for sticking with me. My last picture has to be one of my favorites I’ve taken ever. This 757 was sitting in the penalty box while it waited for the fixes to the south to open up due to weather. Luckily for us we were taking off to the north and you can see behind the 757 that it was clear skies for us. 😀

I hope you enjoyed this use of bandwidth.

1. On our last departure we finally got a great view of the 2 large volcanoes to the south. It was a picture perfect departure.

2. This Convair picture was taken in McAllen, TX. There were quite a few old prop aircraft along our journey. Nice to see someone still is flying some classic equipment.

3. While holding short of the parallel runway in Memphis a company EMB-135 tookoff.

4. Another Convair was sitting down the ramp from us in Memphis.

5. The next object of interest to photograph came along in Newark, New Jersey. The Hooters 757. I wonder where that crew overnights? 😉

1. This is a morning picture looking over our EMB-145XR towards the southeast.

2. Our neighbor this morning was a Aerocaribe DC-9. As with the other Mexican airlines, I really like the tail logo. I also was suprised to see the built in stairs. I had only see those on corporate DC-9’s or similar in the US.

3. An AeroMexico 737 with winglets. I liked this picture not only because it’s of a 737 with winglets but because of the reflection in the water from the previous nights rain.

4. I don’t know anything about Avianca Columbia Airlines. It shows a US registration.? Anyway, I couldn’t pass up taking a picture of a 757.

5. Here’s an overall view of the main terminal showing the full airport name with an AeroMexico 757 sitting out front. That ugly pink building to the left was our hotel for the night. Nice hotel, but they could have gone with a better paint. 🙂

1. It’s hard to tell but the ground crew is unplugging their headsets from this Mexicana A320 as they about to release them to taxi.

2. This is one old looking livery on this Aero California DC-9. Behind it you can see on of the people movers they use to transport passengers to and from the ramp hardstands.

3. This Saab 340 picture was taken in San Antonio, Texas. I think the Aerolitoral livery looks real sharp. I really like the tail livery on this one as well.

4. A Continental MD-80 is really interesting but I needed to take a picture of one before they are all gone by the end of this year. As with the Saab 340 this was taken in San Antonio, Texas.

5. Here’s are approach towards the east in Mexico City. This time I wasn’t flying but we were in and out of the weather in the decent so I couldn’t see as much as I hoped. You can see the runway is already pretty wet and the next thunderstorm is just off to the right of the picture.

I don’t believe that US Airways has sold any of their fleet even though a good part of it is sitting in the desert. Now that there are talks of them re-entering bankrupcy they just might start to sell those airplanes.

I feel lucky that I had the opportunity to meet him 2 years ago at a local airshow. He was even nice enough to let my girlfriend and I have our picture taken with him. Col. Morgan was a real classy guy. RIP.
