You Deserve a Break Today

I was going to go up to get snowy owls on Sunday but I got up too late.  Then I thought about possibly going to Chicago but I didn't feel like driving all that way.  I wanted to do something, so I headed over to Metro Airport.
 This is the reason for the title.  There used to be a McDonald's ad where the pilot had a Big Mac Attack and pulled into McDonald's.  Amazing that I still remember that after all these years.
 A 757 arrives from Los Angeles.
 With the coronavirus, many of the flights from China has been suspended, so Delta has either been idling the A350 or using them on other routes.
 I've seen the A350 on the Amsterdam to Detroit route before but I think they are using them more often on this route.
 Although this one idled a couple of days before it went to its next destination.
 I will have to say this plane is growing on me though.
 A Bombardier Challenger 600.
 I'm not sure where this 717 was arriving from.
 A 757 coming in from Fort Myers.
 Since I like the plane.
 One more view of it.
 An E145 arriving from Philadelphia.
 An A320 arriving from Reagan National Airport in Washington DC.
 This plane has a tail number of N117HQ, so I will call it the other Stealth Airliner.  It was arrive from LaGuardia.
 An AeroMexico E190 arriving from Queretoro.
 A Delta Airlines 737 arriving from Fort Lauderdale.
 It's not often where the tail number matches the planes model number, but this A321 has the tail number of N321DH.  It was arriving from Salt Lake City.
 An American Airlines 737 coming in from Dallas-Fort Worth.
 A 717 coming in from Raleigh-Durham.
 This version of the Spirit livery is becoming rarer.  It was arriving from Las Vegas.
 A 717 coming in from Charlotte.
 A 717 coming in from Baltimore.
 I do like this livery, it adds much color in a see of white.
 It was arriving from Orlando.
 An A320 coming in from Miami.
 Another angle of it.
 Another 757.
 This one was arriving from the World of the Mouse (as opposed to the Land of the Mouse in Florida).
 Another angle.
 And my last plane of the day.
 It is getting rarer to see four engine planes.  Since the 747 doesn't come to Detroit anymore, this is only that comes on a regular basis.
 It was arriving from Frankfurt.
At any rate, it was nice to see blue skies.
