Fly Me to the Moon

Mondays and Thursday mean a double dose of the 787 at Detroit Metro Airport.  This will last until at least July when Air France switches over to the 777.  For now, I will try to enjoy it as much as I can.  It was also a very nice night.  Made for an enjoyable evening watching planes.

 First up was the A319 that was arriving from Monterrey.  I like the way that my new lens handles the planes on the other runway but I'm still shooting into the sun.

 Then there was a Cessna Citation 560.  I'm not sure where it was arriving from.

 Traffic was pretty heavy on I-94 tonight, so I wasn't sure I would make it in time to catch one of my 787s.  It wasn't long after I was there that this one appeared.

 This of course is the 787-8 belonging to Royal Jordanian.  It is coming from Amman, Jordan after a brief stop in Montreal.

 I'm still amazed at how quiet this plane is.

 On the other runway was an MD-83 arriving from Dallas.

 It was followed by a Spirit Airlines A320 arriving from San Diego.

 Which was followed by a 737 from Atlanta.

 This CRJ-900 was arriving from White Plains.

 Another CRJ-900 but I'm not sure where it was arriving from.

 An A320.

 This CRJ-200 was coming from Erie, PA.

 Another CRJ-900.

 This Boeing 717 was coming from Newark.

 A CRJ-200 but I'm not sure where this was coming from.

 A Spirit Airlines A320 from LaGuardia.

 Another A320 that was arriving from Atlanta.

 It was followed by a 757 from Orlando.

 The moon was about at the right level.  I was hoping that I could get a shot with it in it.

 A Dassault Falcon.

 An MD-88 arriving from Windsor Locks.

 The other plane I was waiting for was the 787-9 belonging to Air France.

 This plane was coming in from Paris, France of course.

 Another shot with the moon.
