Phoenix (PHX) 12.26.02

Not having many World DC-10s in my logbook, I ventured out this afternoon to check this bird out. It turned out to be N352WL, in the standard World color scheme of black titles on the fuselage and the black logo on the tail. It was parked just east of the police station, near the large tent. Considering it flew in from CMH, I assumed it brought the Ohio State Buckeyes football team. Several police officers were present on Sky Harbor Blvd directing & stopping traffic for exiting "VIP" vehicles. FBOweb stated it had a departure time of 1710 to JFK, although at 1705, when I left the airport, it was still parked with its doors open and several ground servicing vehicles around it.

Cactus Wings Live: Dallas October 2002

Jeremy told me a week ago that he had a meeting to attend in Dallas, at the American Airlines Conference Center. He invited me to tag along, and I would just spend the day at DFW while he went to the conference. Since my other late-fall “spotography” trips didn’t pan out, I decided to jump on this one – thinking I might not get another trip until spring 2003.

Tuesday 29Oct-2002

I picked Jeremy up at AWA’s Flight Ops center and we carpooled into the airport. HP Express had a CRJ to DFW at 1130, followed by a mainline 757 at 1300. Since I was flying with him, we planned to both go standby at his employee level. The CRJ was solid, and just minutes to spare the gate agent stated that one seat was available. We declined, and she called out another non-rev’s name. She gave the call 30 seconds, then tore up that boarding pass and said “now there’s 2 seats, go!” Sweet! The one thing I like about flying standby is that you don’t have to wait for the flight to depart. I somehow enjoy just getting on the plane, sitting down, and we’re off.

We pushed back at 1215. I sat in 11F, a window seat. My seatmate was Carmen, a computer IT technician for an oil company based in Dallas. She was friendly and we talked off and on the entire trip, mostly about where we were from and our travels. She gave me some tips about where to eat in Dallas, and some directions, which were greatly appreciated. The inflight service consisted of a beverage of choice and a package of peanuts, followed up by a bottle of water.

We flew over Newman (EWM) with El Paso off the right side, and then into the southwest cornerpost for the DFW approach. We flew downwind west of the airport, turned base-to-final over Lewisville Lake and landed on runway 18R. I noted while we were taxiing in the progress that was being made on the new International Terminal “D”. It has been framed in steel, with the outline of a ground-control tower visible on the southwest corner. The interesting thing about this terminal is that it has abandoned the semicircle design of the existing terminals – going for a more rectangular (and probably more functional) design. The new overhead people mover system is coming along as well, with most of the overhead track and support columns in place. This system is innovative in how the design worked around the existing terminal facilities – the system was constructed over the jetway area of each gate. We blocked in at gate B15 (America West’s gate, apparently) at 1510. At Dallas you board an airport-run shuttle bus to the rental car facility. This was very efficient, as it seemed the buses ran much more often than the rental company shuttles you see at Phoenix. We checked in at Budget and received our standard-issue white Ford Ranger pickup within 10 minutes.

DFW 29Oct-2002

Background
Upon learning I would be spending 24 hours in Dallas, I began searching the Internet for tips on where to spot & photograph. After a few tries on Google, I came up with an entry on planespot.com from the late 1990s. Too old for me. Photographs on Airliners.net did not have much in the way of descriptions about where they were taken. I then turned to my trusty resource – my saved e-mail. Searching through the messages under the “Airport Spotting” category revealed two trips in 2001 by separate British spotters. One of these reports had very detailed information, including some tips on photography! Overall I would say information is pretty scarce about spotography in Dallas on the web.

The Hype
I kept hearing about Founder’s Plaza, and what a good observation area it is. Sure, it may be good for “observation”, but does it offer good CLOSE views with good sunlight angles for photography? My personal impression was that DFW, being a huge, sprawling airport, would not offer any close-up views of active aircraft, and that the traffic would be very monotonous with a constant stream of AA or regional jets.

The Reality
DFW is indeed sprawling. Three separate north-south runway complexes exist, along with two separate northwest-southeast runway complexes. I wonder how many miles it is to drive completely around the perimeter …. I visited Founder’s Plaza and was impressed. It’s basically an elevated mound at the south end of the east (runway 34) complex. A paved parking area is elevated enough over the perimeter fence to allow photography without a means to gain height over the fence. In the morning, the sun is behind you, and traffic was using runway 34. Arrivals on the outboard runway, which was closest to me, made nice photographic subjects on short final. Departing flights, which used the inboard runway, were a bit far for good photos but some record shots at 200 to 300mm were made with ease. A bonus was a few flights taxiing directly in front of the plaza on their way to the far eastern runway. Founder’s Plaza was by far the best place to visit in the morning if runway 34 is in use.

I discovered a parking lot on the western perimeter of the airfield, in a cargo complex (Eva Air, Korean, and Lufthansa Cargo) just south of the American hangar. This area was accessed using W. Airfield Road. If you thread your way through the employee parking lots eastward, you end up at the perimeter fence along the western runway complex. Here, landing aircraft roll out within camera range (200mm for an MD80). The taxiway between me and the runway was not used much, only for cargo aircraft that accessed the western cargo complex, and for American aircraft taxiing to their hangar. I did not have any trouble with authorities here. Having a pickup truck was useful here – standing in the bed of the truck allowed us to gain height over the perimeter fence for photos.

The log of aircraft for DFW that day – I left out most of the domestic USA stuff even though I logged everything I saw.

Not more than 5 minutes passed at the “Lufthansa Cargo” spot before resident DFW slide shooter Brian Peters found us. We spent the rest of the afternoon & early evening chatting about DFW, TUS, PHX, and the hobby. The sun was long gone and the air turned chilly by the time we said goodbye to Brian and headed off in search of our hotel. Despite being dark out without any roadway lighting, we managed to find the Holiday Inn Select – DFW North without any trouble (Just off SR114 at Esters Blvd exit). The hotel seemed average for a business-class hotel, nothing fancy but not a dump, either.

After changing, catching up with CNN, and getting the mobile ACARS command center (er, laptop and handheld scanner) fired up, we headed off in search of some long-awaited food. Jeremy thought going to downtown Dallas was a good idea, so off we went. We detoured a little north of downtown and came in on US 75, which didn’t delay us too much and offered us a chance to see more the Metroplex. Right, it’s just another city, from what we saw. Blasting into downtown via some sharp turns, we ended up at the west end warehouse district, which has been turned into a nice restaurant & bar district. One of the warehouses was marked "Fairbanks Morse & Co." - IIRC, they made early-generation diesel locomotives, I didn't know that Dallas was where they were from! Parked at one of those self-pay places for $5 (did I need to pay???) and checked out the scene. Unfortunately, most of the places were chain-type restaurants with outlets in Phoenix, so we deferred dinner a little and had a beer and some Cajun-style wings instead at a place called Gator’s (Carmen – thanks for the tip). I can’t remember eating wings that good (maybe I was hallucinating due to hunger…). We left the downtown area and headed back towards the hotel, and found a decent looking steakhouse along the way called “Tenaya”. Actually what caught our attention was the label “Steaks :: Wild Game” !! Not that I’m a big fan of “game” but it was definitely something different than the places in Phoenix. After a huge portion of ribs and a few Shiner Bocks we were beat and headed back to the ………. No wait! We’re in Dallas Ft. Worth … so what the heck does Ft. Worth have to offer? Thinking we might not be back here for a long time, we fought off sleep and headed over to downtown Ft. Worth to check it out. Definitely not a scenic skyline arriving from the northeast – but once we entered the central business district, we were surprised. It appeared that several well-known stores and restaurants had outlets in the downtown area, sort of like a much larger city like Chicago. Cool! We drove around a few blocks and then left as quick as we came. At the hotel we watched CNN again and checked out what ACARS hits we had so far.

In the morning, Jeremy had to be at his conference at 0900, so that gave us plenty of time to fit in a little spotting & photography. Opened up the curtains – FOG. Hmm, that’s going to be interesting!

Didn’t see any places to stop for a quick coffee or breakfast so we skipped it and headed straight to Founder’s Plaza. The fog was so thick that you could not see the runways from there. It was interesting though, and a few aircraft did show up to make a digital photo worthwhile. After dropping Jeremy off, I returned back to the plaza since the fog had lifted and I didn’t know any other place to sit to watch movements on the south side. It wasn’t bad, but no good for slides – just digital shots.

As lunchtime neared I left the plaza and ventured up W. Airfield Avenue to check in on the cargo activity. Nothing present except for a few UPS A300s, which I needed to see. Picked up Jeremy and went to Wendy’s for lunch, near the AA Conference Center.

A log of the aircraft seen on Wednesday:

After lunch, Jeremy and I agreed to meet at the CR Smith museum between 1400 and 1500 hrs. That was enough time for me to head down to Love Field and back. Seeing as I had not seen a Southwest B737-200 in the new colors yet, I figured DAL would be a good place to do so. I got to DAL in 20 minutes, and proceeded up Denton Avenue on the southwest side. I eventually did a full perimeter circuit, stopping in the various nooks and crannies to read off whatever bizjet/airliner I could see. I’m not a mad bizjet spotter by any means, but I will log whatever I can see (I won’t go “hunt” down a bizjet, though). The aircraft I logged:

After the perimeter circuit, I parked up along Denton Avenue and waited for N96SW to push back for a 1400 departure to HOU. After five minutes a nearby store owner approached and asked me to leave, after I told him what I was doing. I made the mistake of giving him my name (he asked for it, I should have just said “Terry.”)… more on that later. Anyway I moved about 200 yards down and parked again, only this time to find the perimeter fence was taller than I could see over from standing in the truck bed – rrrr. Had to resort to shooting through the fence, and when N96SW taxied by I managed 2 record shots. Oh well, better than nothing, I thought.

I met Jeremy back at the museum and we proceeded right into the museum store. For any lover of diecast airplane models, CR Smith is a must – not for their prices (although they were having a 40% off sale on selected models) but for their selection of rare & hard to find models. You’ll pay for them though, but when you gotta have them…. I didn’t buy any, opting for an American 777 cap instead, and some stickers to add to my airline-sticker filing cabinet. Jeremy decided on a chrome Northwest Orient 727-100 model which did look very sweet! We caught the “Spirit of American” flick in the theater – they really need to update that with some B777 footage – and then left to begin the journey home.

We dumped the truck and caught the efficient shuttle bus back to the terminal. What’s nice about the bus service is that each bus is terminal-specific, you don’t have to ride to each terminal before you get to yours. The TSA-run checkpoint didn’t give me any problems, but they held up Jeremy for a search. What I didn’t like about that was Jeremy’s laptop (which had been removed from its case and placed on a separate tray), briefcase, and duffel bag were all away from him at the bottom of the conveyor belt – and virtually unattended to. I had to remind an agent that the bags were Jeremy’s, because Jeremy had been asked to step aside for the search! Is there any way to avoid this?!?!

HP815 DFW-PHX N914AW B757

The flight was nearly full, and the chance of us getting on didn’t look too good initially. However after final boarding the agents called us up and issued us boarding passes without any delay – nice! I got 19C and pretty much slept the entire way home. Jeremy had 20F and shot some nice photos of the wing and sunset on the way home. We pushed back at 1730.

We landed at 1900 and taxied quickly to the gate. I was looking forward to getting home and eating, as this flight caused us to skip yet another meal. Luckily there was no delay getting Jeremy’s bag at the baggage claim or waiting for the crew bus. I dropped Jeremy off at his car and made it home by 2000.

Wednesday, September 11, 2002

I attended the Indianapolis Airshow last weekend (9/7/02), just outside of Indianapolis, Indiana at the Mount Comfort Airport (MQJ). The show was coupled with the 2002 “Corsair Gathering”. The show had a very nice assortment of WWII, Korean War and Vietnam era aircraft, most of which performed for the show.
About ¾ of the show was just like any other airshow, with the possible exception of the jet powered WACO bi-plane that performed. The day began to pick up significantly when the warbirds began to perform.

The first “wave” of warbirds to perform consisted of P-51’s, a Sky Raider, a Bearcat, a B-25 and an assortment of Stearmans and T-6 Texans. The aircraft took off and did a series of “circuits” around the flight pattern, making about 10 laps around the airport each. After the first wave landed, 1 of 2 F-18’s took off and did a solo demonstration.

During the F-18 demo, 5 F-4U corsairs started up and taxied out to the run-up area. As soon as the F-18 landed, the second wave of aircraft took off consisting of 5 F-4U corsairs, and other assorted warbirds. Soon after the second wave was airborne, a second F-18 took off and flew in the pattern with the corsairs. The corsairs and the F-18 then joined together in formation and flew past the crowd several times. The corsairs then broke off and left the area and the F-18 did 3 high-speed fly-by’s and then landed.

After the corsairs left the field (supposedly to do a photo shoot) the airfield was opened up to the public, and a huge swarm of private aircraft taxied out to take off. It is estimated there were at least 60 aircraft in line at any given time, and at least 120 aircraft took off within 1.5 hrs. After about a half hour, the corsairs landed and taxied in.

Overall, the show (mainly the last 2 hours) was very impressive. To add to the great action, the corner taxiway between two adjacent taxiways and the end of the runway were not roped off by show security. There were a hand full of people gathered down there that were able to get EXCELLENT close-up, un-obstructed shots of the warbirds taxiing and doing engine run-ups. I was able to take advantage of this and will soon post some of my better shots to the cactus wings photo section.

Dustbowl 2002 Wrap up 4.22.02
================================

TUL 4.06.02
Another trip to TUL revealed yet another museum. The museum is owned and operated by the Spartan School of Aeronautics. There are a few interesting aircraft to note, a Navy F-14 being the highlight and takes up a majority of the museum floor. There are also some interesting displays from past aviation activity in the Tulsa area and a nice library that has some interesting information on the history of aviation in Oklahoma. Admission is around $4 per person. If you are in Tulsa and on a tight time schedule you wont miss a lot if you don’t make it by the museum however they are moving to a new building in a few years that is supposed to be “Bigger and better” than the current one.

We next ventured to the north end of the airport near where the Alitalia DC-8’s have been stored. After asking nicely the clerk at the FBO agreed to escort us to the ramp to photograph the DC-8’s (photos posted in the photos section soon). Supposedly the DC-8 were flown in about 20 years ago to undergo hush-kit modifications and were never picked up by Alitalia. They were since re-possessed by the bank and have sat on the ramp at TUL since. They are soon to be broken up, however they are for sale.

We then got a tour of one of the hangars at the FBO which had some very interesting military jets including Various MIG’s, a Drakken and a Harrier, most of which were inside a hangar and not visible from the outside. The Harrier that is on the ramp is supposedly the same harrier that was won thru a controversial contest at Pepsi a few years ago.

OKC 4.06.02
Exploring Tinker Air Force Base a little closer, revealed a small park with military aircraft displayed. The park is open to the public during day hours and has about 6 aircraft parked in it ranging from an F4 to a B-52. The park is a definite must see to any military aviation buff. We did take some photos, which will be posted to the photos section shortly. Another website also has comments from past visitors to the museum at http://www.aero-web.org/museums/ok/tafbap.htm

Will Rogers Intl, a few new visitors on the AAR ramp:
TU-TIX, all white F-28 (ex 488US?)
N304AW America West B737-300, no tail markings (lease return)
6Y-JMX Air Jamaica Express SH-360
N366MQ Skyway SH-360

Another area of interest in the OKC area is the fair grounds. A B52, B46 and DC3 are mounted on 20 - 30' poles and serve as a covered walkway. You can walk up to the aircraft and read about thier history, worth a visit but not something that should take time out of your other activities if you are on a tight time schedule. Photos of this area are also coming soon.

DFW 4.07.02
Our trip to DFW was severely hampered due to a very large rain storm. Because of the very dreary spotting conditions we decided to visit the American Airlines CR Smith Museum. If anyone is in the DFW are, this museum is HIGHLY recommended! Admission is free as well as a visit to the theater where you sit on leather first class seats as they play about a 20-minute “History of American Airlines” video on a huge IMAX theater sized screen. You can then take a tour through the restored American DC-3 that is in pristine shape. Perhaps the biggest highlight of the museum is the gift shop where they have a massive collection of Gemini Jets/Dragon Wings/Herpa Wings, etc. I would plan to budget at least 2 hours for the trip. (photos coming soon)

Confirming past reports, DFW is not good for photography, however spotting is possible from a few perimeter spots as well as the terminal areas.

ICT 4.13.02
I found yet another museum at the McConnel AFB. The museum is named the Kansas Aviation Museum and has a variety of general aviation and military aircraft available. The museum is still in the process of converting the old terminal building so some displays are not quite complete. The old traffic control tower on top of the building gives great overall views of the Air Base and the Boeing ramp. Admission is $2 per person, this museum is definately worth a stop if your in the ICT area. Their website has a great deal of information about the museum and is located at http://www.kansasaviationmuseum.org/

Aircraft on the ramp at the museum:
T37 - 81977
U8-F O-23838
Lear(45?) N505PF
C210? PP-OTI
B-52 50094

Seen on the Boeing Ramp:
Various B-52's and KC-135's
N708CK - Kallita Air B747 (no engines)
Presidential 757 (VC-32?) (could not read reg)

Seen at ICT while waiting for the flight back to Arizona:
N8532G Northwest CRJ
N1409B American F-100
N77286 America West Express CRJ
N920UA United B737-500


Note: Photos from the trip will be posted to cactuswings within a few days under the “Photos” section.

"Dust-Bowl" tour 2002 - Update 4.01.02
================================

A bit of a suprise today in OKC. I was notified by Terry Nash that at 19:15 local time a Royal Jordanian A340-200 (JY-ABH)would arrive from SNN. I saw it land and when it pulled up to the AAR building a series of Executive Lincoln towncars and SUV's pulled up to the airstairs accompanied by heavy security and police cars. About 20-30 people got off the plane and into the cars and they promptly left the airport. I tried my best to follow them without being obvious, and I think I saw them headed south on I-35 towards Dallas. I think it is safe to say that they are not in town to see the Will Rogers Museam! My theory is, they could be in the area visiting the President in Crawford, TX but I am not sure why they would have flown into OKC and not the DFW area or Waco, TX. If anyone has any info on why this ac may have been here, that would be interesing info. After all the people left, the aircraft stayed on the ramp and looked like it ws closed up for an extended stay. I will keep an eye on the aircraft and provide any updates.


"Dust-Bowl" tour 2002 - Update 3.31.02
================================
Taking a drive East Bound today, I stopped by Tulsa, OK (TUL). It is a very interesting airport with many good areas for both spotting and Photography. If you are in the area, it is definately worth a trip! The highlights are the 3 stored Alitalia DC-8's (hopefully have photos soon!). They are parked near a general aviation ramp and are well situated for photography (minus any small aircraft parked on the ramp in front of them). The AA hangar facility is HUGE, unfortunately there are no close up areas to see what is sitting on the ramp. It is possible however to see what is on the ramp from across the airport, but most likely no reg's can be read without a powerfull scope. The airport provides an observation area on the approach end of runway 36R which gives great opportunities for pictures of arrivals and departures. Below is a list of aircraft that I saw while there:

N61RH, Saberliner - (registered as a GLASAIR) R.A."BOB" Hoover written on the side. Located at Spartan School of Aeronautics
N351QS, C560
11417, CT-114 Snowbirds (10)

N4318W, Mig-21
(no reg) AV8B Harrier, engine missing
N227WE, FA20
18409, F86D (on display outside national guard)

N88912, DL B727-200 M/C
N443FE, FedEx A310
N945AX, Airborn Express DC-9-30

I then continued on eastbound and took a shot in the dark at Joplin, MO. A rather large airport, however a very large number of GA operations.There was notihng interesting to speak of, the only 2 noteworthy aircraft are listed below. This airport falls into the "Dont go out of your way" category unless of course you know something interesting resides there.
