A Nice Day Planewatching

I was almost going to pass on planewatching on Sunday but then I realized that I don't have too many more opportunities to catch the 747s as they leave Detroit.  After I did my laundry and took my shower, I headed over to Romulus to catch some aircraft.

 The first plane that I planned on catching was a 747 that was coming in from Shanghai, so I headed over to Wick Road for my spot over there.  The first plane that I ended up catching was a MD-88 that was arriving from Minneapolis.

 A CJR arriving from Nashville, Tennessee.

 Probably one of my favorite liveries out there is the Frontier Airlines livery.  I like the animals that they put on their tails.  This particular one is Midnight the Wolf and was arriving from Orlando.

 A 737 arriving from Las Vegas.

 This CRJ was coming in from Appleton, Wisconsin.   One of the Iwo Jima flagraisers came from Appleton.

 A CRJ arriving from Covington, KY.  Covington is known as the Greater Cincinnati Airport.

 The 747 was the plane that I was hoping to catch.  I was pretty sure that it would land on 22R but sometimes they end up landing on 22L.  While I get decent pictures when they land on 22L, I prefer the ones when they land on 22R.

 Anyway, this 747 was arriving from Shanghai.  I think this route will be replaced with the A350 soon but I'm not sure how soon.  I am not waiting for that day.

 Hopefully she will extend her life as a cargo carrier but based on some of the pictures that I've seen, that's probably not likely.

 A Boeing 717 arriving from Kansas City.

 The 737 is another old design but Boeing keeps improving the design.  I suspect that we will seeing a version of the 737 for a while now.  This one was coming in from Seattle.

 A CRJ arriving from Dayton.

 Another CRJ arrives from Cedar Rapids.

 A Boeing 717 coming in from O'Hare.

 A Southwest 737 arriving from Dallas Love Field.

 A United Express CRJ coming in from Dulles Airport.

 The next two planes were kind of a surprise for me.  First up was a 767 coming in from London.

 That was followed by another 767.

 This one arrived from Frankfurt, Germany.  Not to be confused with the one in northern Michigan.

 An Airbus A319 arriving from Reagan Airport in Washington D.C.

 Another Southwest 737.  This one was coming in from Nashville.

 A CRJ arriving from Rochester.

 A MD-90 coming in from Fort Lauderdale.

 This plane was also a surprise.  Normally, Delta will use an A330 for the flight from Paris.  This time it was a 777.

 A CRJ arriving from Erie.

 This 717 was coming in from Philadelphia.

 And one from Providence.

 I think this CRJ was coming in from Scranton.

 And of course my favorite plane is the 757.  This one was arriving from Tampa.

 It was followed by one coming over from Orlando.

One more shot before moving on.
