The next day I had the opportunity to return to Oscoda airport. The weather this time cooperated. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52692046260_26fd179a3e_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52692120218_824f6df68e_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52690971829_32dbf2b539_b.jpg https:/...

Some very nice catches!! Looks like a nice roadstip, despite the cold. Thanks. Airports around Michigan have some real gems hidden around. Car manufacturers make it special for cargo operators to fly 'everything' to the local airports. As for the road trip, it was mandatory (for work). I would neve...

In the evening I arrived at Oscoda airport. Storage and maintenance place for Kalitta Air. I saw about 30 747s, 10 727s, bunch of 737s and MD-80 etc. Snow storm prevented from getting around the east side of the airport and from taking a lot of pictures. As I knew that I will come back, I didn't wor...

Next stop on the map was Pontiac airport. I was in a hurry and had time to visit only IFL Group ramp. Active ramp was empty and storage ramp had plenty of Convairs 580 + Falcons 20.

While I was driving around the airport I saw another Mexican DC-9 landing. Unfortunately for me, he parked behind the Evrets MD-80 and there was no way to get a shot.

Hello, Opportunity came to visit several airports in Michigan. The weather didn't help but I was glad I had the chance. Started at DTW airport. Nothing was around the airport (except for the Tigers DC-9-51) so I headed straight to Willow Run airport - YIP. Ramps full of goodies. My most exotic catch...

Very nice photo report!

Hi All, An hour spotting from the gate on the way back home. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52586824706_56ca337801_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52587341263_2e0d4f9ffb_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52586339089_94a07b1788_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52586596...

Thanks Guys!

Hi All, In November I've stayed at Miracle hotel by BKK airport. Rooftop pool provides nice view of the entire field. I had only 300mm lens but managed to get some nice stuff. For $30 a night you get big clean room and a breakfast. Rooftop is open 7am to 8pm, but in the morning you can ask at the re...

Yes, but do they SERVE the drinks using airline galley carts? One of these days I will post some pix of my mobile bar that I got from Aviation Warehouse. In the MD-82 cafe they have Phuket Air galley carts and they used them to serve the drinks. I think the food came on trays. In the 747 cafe it's ...

Thanks Guys!

The TriStar was in pieces when I saw it last time in 2016 at DMK airport. You can see it in the scrapyard on the top of the picture.
I'm still amazed that they were able to put it back together

Hi All, I had the chance to visit few spots around Bangkok where they converted aircraft to a restaurants. MD-82 Cafe - Located about 15 minutes away in taxi from BKK airport. ex Orient Thai MD-82. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52567007614_ce1bc520d2_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/5...

Hi All, I spent a week relaxing at Phuket's Nai Yang beach. Mostly mornings due to the heat :) Not the busiest airport. On average one flight every 10 minutes. So don't forget to bring cold beer with you :) https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52558129302_9166586794_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.co...
