Thursday Night Dreamin'

As I've said before, Thursday night is my planewatching night.  That is one of two nights that there are two 787s that come to Detroit Metro.  It didn't look like I was going to go planewatching because Thursday started kind of miserable but it ended up pretty beautiful.

 So I headed over to the airport.  It looked like both planes were going to be one after the other.  First up was an A321 arriving from Fort Lauderdale.

 It was followed by a 717 from LaGuardia.

 At least the DC-9 legacy will carry on with these planes.

 One more angle of that plane.

 And then there was a Gulfstream IV.

 Another angle of the Gulfstream.

 If you've followed me for any length of time, you know that the 757 is my favorite.  This one was arriving from Minneapolis.

 An A330 coming in from Amsterdam.

 And then the first plane that I was waiting for.

 The Royal Jordanian 787 coming in from Montreal after her flight there from Amman, Jordan.

 Ever since I first laid eyes on this livery, I've liked it.  It definitely looks regal.

 A beacon shot.

 It's also nice to see different colors in a see of white planes.

 I liked this shot too.

 It was closely followed by the Air France 787.

 This one was arriving from Paris.

 It is also slightly bigger than the Royal Jordanian 787.

 I like this angle.

 I headed over to the other side of the airport to catch a couple other planes.  This was not one of them.  It was an American 737 coming from Dallas.

 And American Eagle Embrear arriving from somewhere.

 A Delta A319 coming in from Mexico City.

 It was followed by a United A319 from San Francisco.

 Another angle of that plane.

 This 737 was on it's way to Willow Run.

 I like it when I see the wingtip lights of the DC-9 family.  I think these are the only planes that have lights like that.

 This particular 717 was arriving from Grand Rapids.

 One of the other planes that I was waiting for.

 The Fed Ex 757 flying in from Indianapolis.

 My favorite angle of that plane.

 A 757 arriving from Orlando.

 This plane was a surprise because it usually arrives earlier.

 It is the A350 from Beijing.

 I like the looks of this plane but I still like the 787 better.

 One more shot of it.

 And the other plane I was looking for.

 The Fed Ex MD-11 arriving from Memphis.

 This one is Flight 505.

 And it's pretty cool to see.

My planewatching didn't end at the airport.  As I arrived home, I caught this DC-9 taking off from Willow Run.
