FINNAIR_A330-300_JFK_0409.jpg1464 viewsBrand new A330-300 for Finnair. For many years Finnair operated DC10's and MD11's to JFK, that is history now. Finnair also has A340-300's but they never make it to North America, they are used primarily to the Far East and India

727maxton34612sep05.jpg1459 viewsWhile I visit numerous major airports, I don't visit many remote, off the beaten path airports. This obscure 727-100 has been rotting for years in this airfield located in Laurinburg North Carolina, about 2 hours from Charlotte, where some airliners come for scrapping. If you have any info on this airplane please share in the comments section

aerosur737c-fnax0903mia.jpg1459 viewsI know that many of you who visit this web site are interested in learning, as I am, about an airplane's future and past. If you google C-FNAX, you'll see that the airplane was previously with Canada3000 Airlines (they went belly up several years ago) and at the time this photo was taken, the 737 was being prepped for Aerosur Bolivia (hence the green tail)

N612UA was the second 767 to hit the World Trade Center on 9/11. Today news came out that part of its landing gear was found in-between two buildings near ground zero. May the victims rest in peace...

JETBLUE_A320_LAX_0210jpavnet.jpg1412 viewsThis Jetblue A320, featuring a 10th anniversary livery has special meaning to me. I flew with Jetblue on February 11, 2000, before the airline began operations. On the flights from JFK-BUF, BUF-JFK, JFK-FLL, FLL-JFK were Jetblue's founder and CEO at the time, David Neeleman, David Barger (the current CEO), in addition to other lucky folks who got to fly on Jetblue that day before the company began operations that evening (JFK-FLL). The lights you see in the sky are a departing airplane on runway 25R
