Back to Chicago for work... I was all the way in the back for the 2nd leg, so no piccies from that one. Really wanted to get some flight deck shots (NW DC-9s; all zinc chromate and lotsa steam gauges and switches), but I was a bit rushed.
Anyhoo, here's some little snapshots...

On the ground at KEWR...


     



     



     



     



     



Descending towards Detroit...






Passed over this field; anybody know it?


     


We actually entered a pretty standard pattern at KDTW...

Great shots mate

Been a while since ive been there..

Gorgeous shots Sean! Chicago sure looks chillly!

I saw one of those gorgeous Kalitta 747's take off from Brussels today, they look wonderful!

And Sean... please level the shots...

Nice catch on the privatair business jet....is it the lufthansa charter?......I saw a similar A319 heading into Filton on behalf of Airbus a couple of days ago

You want 'em level... you level em!

I'm just trying to get these up before this lousy Comfort Inn connecton slows down again...

Beats me... there were a few of them there; I thought it was a new Swissair livery at first.

It is. They're called Privatair. They fly 319s to EWR regularly, and the 737 on occasion.

Nice shots.  ;)

Glad you had a good flight.

Aha! So I guessed right- we were over Canada!
Pretty easy nav on that one: NW from Newark, big water to the left... must be Canada to the right.

Nice shots.  ;)

Glad you had a good flight.

It was OK; massive winds kept us down lower than they'd planned, but it was pretty smooth. And I like the old DC-9... what a workhorse!
Wasn't too thrilled on the second leg, though... not so much because my head was inches away from that big turbine, but because I had no window.

My dad is flying from MSY-DTW-EWR tomorrow on an NW DC-9. I'm jealous.

Great shots, Sean!!

Have fun, don't work to hard and keep warm!!

Number 4 looks like ExpressJet.  How long did you have to wait for a takeoff slot at EWR?
