On the way over to Grand Haven, my mom saw some F/A-18s flying over Grand Rapids. I saw a post in the Planespotting group that they were there. Later, I found out that they were there for a funeral. I figured they would have landed, so I stopped at the airport on the way back.
I stopped at the spotters park on the other side of the airport. It gives a great view of the planes. This A320 is getting ready to go to Atlanta in the morning.
Two of the F/A-18 Hornets that I saw. I wish I could have caught them flying but this isn't a bad view.
A Fed Ex 757 at the cargo terminal.
The little plane is a Bombardier Challenger. The bigger plane is an Embrear.
The other two F/A-18 Hornets.
A more overall view of the airport.
Just before I left this plane came in.
It was a CRJ-700 belonging to American Express coming in from Philadelphia.
About to land.
A puff of smoke as it touches down.
One more shot before heading home.
So my whirlwind day is bookended by two different airports at almost opposite ends of the state. I was able to see something unique at both airports so that was pretty cool. The only problem is that it made for a long day.
