A Foggy Day at the Airport

After catching the Sioux City, I decided to head to the airport.  I saw that I had a chance to catch the Queen.  The weather was still misty and I love catching planes in moisture.

 This plane has just arrived from Paris and was on its way to the gate.

 It wasn't too long before the Queen appeared.  It was foggy enough out that I didn't see her until she was actually in range.  I really like the obscured shot.

 She gets closer to the ground.  The fog almost makes it look like she is landing in the mountains.

 She gets closer to the ground.

 She touches down with a puff a smoke.

 And a little smoke from the front wheel.

 She kicks up some water from the runway.

 she almost fades into the fog as she taxis to her gate.

 Next up is a 737-MAX 8 belonging to Southwest.  This plane was arriving from Atlanta and this is the 737 with improved engines and avionics.  It is also the same type that crashed in Indonesia today.  They aren't sure why it crashed though.

 A 717 getting ready to head to Newark.

 Almost in position.

 A Spirit Airlines A320 arriving from Fort Myers, Florida.

 An A330 arriving from Amsterdam.

 A 767 arriving from Munich.

 I saw that there was a pair of 757s arriving from the west, so I headed over to the west side of the airport.  First up over there was an E190 belonging to AeroMexico arriving from Monterrey.

 A 737 arriving from Minneapolis.

 An Alaska Airlines 737 arriving from Seattle.

 An A350 arriving from Narita Airport in Tokyo.

 A Spirit A320 arriving from New Orleans.

 An A321 arriving from Las Vegas.

 A Southwest 737 arriving from Nashville.

 A United E175 arriving from Houston.

 The first 757-300 arriving from Seattle.  I was hoping to catch another but it ended up landing on the other side of the airport.

 A 717 from Nashville.

 A Spirit A320 arriving from Kansas City.  I liked the beacon shot.

 A 757-200 arriving from Los Angeles.

 I liked the beacon shot on this one too.

One of the United Heritage Units arriving from Denver.  This one is in Continental Airlines livery.  Continental Airlines was formed in 1934 as Varney Speed Lines and operated in the American Southwest.  In 1937, it become Continental Air Lines.    It was one of the smaller carriers in the United States under the regulated era.  Post 1978, it grew to become one of the largest carriers.  In 2010, it merged with United.
