Almost caught up on my shots.  Only one more post before I get to my recent ultra long haul.

Left off in Philly.  From there it was a quick hop to Charlotte, NC.
Image
Charlotte to Atlanta with a small but LONG bird :o  First time flying the CRJ-900.
Image
Decided to head for New York with a quick stop in Cincinnati.  I hated Delta's new colors but they are beginning to grow on me...especially when on the sexy 757-200 with winglets 8-)  Taking a hard turn out of ATL.
Image
Can someone say "Compression killed me" :P  Making a quick approach into CVG, waited till 1 mile out to drop the gear and rest of the flaps.  Had to keep speed up as there was another aircraft right behind me.
Image
Letting it all hang out as we come in for a fast landing.  Managed to slow down and clear the runway in time for the other Delta bird to avoid a go around.

Next post is the CVG-JFK route.  Saved the best for last.  Only 4 shots but quite a colorful end to the flight 8-)

Very nice photos...
In the first one, it looks like a 757 but the nose confuses me and the winglets.  What plane is it?
And the 900 looks very sexy in the US Air scheme.
For the Delta scheme, I haven't really seen it around but it looks great.

757s can get winglets nowadays. So yeah, the first one, it's 757
