The Return of an Old Friend

So I ended up taking Thursday and Friday off.  I wasn't quite ready to go back to work after a long vacation.  I'm still not sure I'm ready to go back, especially since I hear the weather may be less than pleasant tomorrow.  Anyway, I remembered that the 787 arrived in Detroit on Monday's and Thursday.  Since I couldn't catch it Monday and it was a pretty nice evening, I decided to head to the airport.

 First up was an Embrear 175 arriving from Reagan National in Washington DC.

 A Delta Airlines 737 arriving from Atlanta.

 And the plane I was waiting for.

 The Royal Jordanian 787.

 For part of the year, it flies here via Montreal.  This time it was flying direct.  I think it will fly direct again until October.

It is always cool to get a beacon shot.

 It was particularly nice night.  The lighting was perfect.

 It was followed by my favorite aircraft.

 A 757 coming in.

 This particular one was coming from the Florida land of the mouse.

 Or Orlando.

 An American Airlines A319 coming in from Charlotte.

 And a plane that I don't see much.  An A300 belonging to Fed Ex.  I don't think there are anymore of these in passenger service.

 Another 757.

 This particular one was arriving from Fort Myers.

And I loved the clouds in this.
