Forum rules
ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

Phoenix-Sky Harbor 08-03-2022

Post by LifelinerOne »

Hello again!

A very early start on 8 March, at the Southern spot at PHX shortly after sunrise at 06:45, enabling me some 2,5 hours of spotting before meetings.

1. If you’re early enough, you can spot some departing cargo aircraft like this A300F N167UP of UPS:

2. My main reason for the early start was to capture the Hawaiian A330-200 N382HA as I haven’t photographed an A330 of them before. You just gotta love the livery in this warm early morning light:

3. Special “Together” livery on this United B737MAX8 N27261:

4. This DHL B737-800BDSF N67TC is operated by iAero Airways:

5. FedEx B777F N882FD arriving from Memphis (TN):

6. Nice little E120 N568SW of Ameriflight:

7. More Ameriflight-fun in the form of this Metroliner N578AF:

8. And Beech 1900 N49UC:

9. Then they switched runway direction, enabling some nice take-off shots. Seen here is the nice American Airlines A319 N744P, wearing the Piedmont-heritage livery:

10. And my last shot for this post is this nice little Cessna 208 N895FE of FedEx:

Conclusion: Phoenix is a nice place for some airplane photography as I remembered from my last visit 20 years ago. Being there in March ensured heatwaves weren’t too big of a thing and the South spot is definitely a nice place. But you’ll be a bit bored after two days as traffic is very repetitive.
