Double-takes

Postby Wii » Sat Jan 05, 2008 5:05 pm

Here I am finishing my science experiment when I hear an airplane coming into MKL (McKellar Sipes Regl.) and they are single props, occasional double props, and a small jet from time to time. But the roaring got louder so I looked up at it and it was a twin engine (underwing) looked like a 737 but maybe smaller. (a318?) So I went online and found the runway lengths and this is what I got:
02/20 6,000[ch65533] x 150[ch65533] Asphalt Grvd.

Delta Connection Embraer 170 perhaps?

Most likely the Embraer. There are still a lot more planes that look like that and I don't think that this is sufficient info to make a positive identification. :-/

Could have been an Air Force 737 out doing training.  They come and do touch and goes here fairly often.
