Phoenix Jul29-2003

Another visit to Goodyear, AZ July 28-2003. Didn't get a chance to visit the Southwestern corner of Goodyear for two reason one the usual time! But Timco has started to be not too happy about out hobby!
Timco have re-arange most of the aircraft on the field, so all the US Postal/Emery are parked in the northeastern end of the field, All the United/Delta B737 and the two America West B737-300 and Vanguard B737-200 are parked in the south-westerly corner.

But here is a list of the confirmed sightings.
