AirTran (Citrus) Shots

[YodaNYC]

Here are a few of an AirTran 737-400 climbing out of LaGuardia on the way to Atlanta...Hope you enjoy shots from my home airport!

Lined up and ready to go at runway 13.  Today LaGuardia was using runway 13 for departures and runway 4 for arrivals...


Ready to rotate with the Manhattan skyline in the background...


Nice view of Shea Stadium in the background...


In the background is the USTA Tennis Center and Arthur Ashe Stadium...home of the US Open Tennis Championships...


Nice view of the Whitestone Bridge in the background...turning right on the "Coney Climb"


That is KJFK off in the distance...just about to turn right to intercept the Canarsie VORTAC...

Cool Shots. Too bad Air Tran doesnt have 737s right now They are geting some with neat winglets though!

[Nexus]

Yes those old 737 classics are phased out, and if I'm not mistaken they are about or already have retired their DC9s in favour of the 717  ???

[YodaNYC]

You are correct...they exclusively fly the 717 on mostly East Coast routes with most flights passing through KLGA and KATL.

Very nice planes and cheap fares!
