If at First You Don't Succeed...

It seems that Thursday night is 787 night for me, so I decided to head over to the airport to catch at least one of them.  It was actually a pretty nice night last night as it was approaching the 60's.

 First up was a Bombardier Challenger 300 coming in from LaGuardia.

 I kind of like it when I catch a business jet because it sets itself off from the other aircraft.

 Next up was the CRJ-100 arriving from Toronto.

 Another side shot.

 This one is an ERJ-135.  For some reason, I like the looks of these better than the CRJ.  Anyway, this one seems to be dedicated to our troops.

 A Fed Ex 757 coming in from Indianapolis.

 A Spirit A321 coming in from Cancun.

 An A330 with a beacon shot as it arrives from Amsterdam.

 I kind of like the clouds in this one.

 An A320 arriving from Atlanta.

 An E175 arriving from Columbus.  The Columbus airport is named after John Glenn.

 This 757 was arriving from Orlando.  I was hoping to catch it on my runway but of course it went to the other one.

 Another angle of that plane.

 I'm not sure where this plane is coming from but it is a Gulfstream V.

 Another beacon shot.

 And the plane I was waiting for.

 It was arriving in Detroit from Montreal.

 That was after a trip from Amman.

 But it was a nice night and this is a nice looking plane.

 I was about ready to leave after taking pictures of the 787 but as I looked over the building, I saw that it was pulling up.  I watched as it started to go around and caught it on the downwind leg.  This would be roughly over the Detroit River.  This would take a couple of minutes.

 As I was waiting for the 787 to come around, I watched as this plane was lined up for 21L and then it shifted over to 21R and almost flew right over me.  It was coming in from LaGuardia.

 A CRJ-700 arriving from Dulles airport.

 And the return trip of the 787.

 It was just as cool as the first.  Especially since I got a couple of shots with the beacon.

 It flies over the trees.  Although I don't think it was actually over the trees, it just looked like it.

 Anyway, the clouds were still pretty nice.

 Another beacon shot.

 And one more beacon shot.
