One little victory

Postby flyboy 28 » Fri Feb 20, 2009 10:24 pm

Long story short, I've been trying to nab a shot of the Colgan Saab 340 that comes in to KABE regularly. Of the times I've seen it, it's been either taking off on a perpendicular runway, bad lighting, come in late (even worse lighting), or most recently, subbed with a CRJ. Not today. :) It seems rather trivial, even for some spotters, I'd assume, but it just made me feel like a million bucks today. :)

Here's some filler, just to make the thread have some validity.

This S-76 landed directly over at the FBO.

Mystery 744 for you to figure out. Shouldn't be too difficult.

That is all. :)

In the original post, a Saab 340.  I can't wait for the ones that come to my airport to be repainted in Delta colors.
