This is an old shot of an American Airlines MD-80 from a previous outing to the ABIA flight path. This shot, I took from the cemetery that is under the flight path to 17R. This was taken with my old Nikon 3000, and I wasn’t still quite sure what exposure metering to use. I wish […]
American Airlines Boeing 757 At DIA
I took this shot through a window, duh, at DIA the last time I went through there. I like how the livery looks on this American Airlines Boeing 757. I don’t think that the new livery would look nearly as good on this plane. What do you think?

American Airlines Boeing 737-800

On a different day, while going over the same spot, they already had the landing gear down. I’ll post the wheels down picture another day. American is replacing a lot […]
N194AA B757 DFW
N194AA B757 DFW, a photo by rafaelmarquez on Flickr. Via Flickr: Part of a series from a plane spotting trip to Founder’s Plaza at DFW Airport. I caught N194AA on short final. It was interesting to see how the heavies were handling the headwinds with more grace than the lighter planes were.
