Some more shots from my roadtrip to PHL. The first three shots are of aircraft using up as much of the runway as possible before rotating. I moved my spot for departures because the airlines are trying to save fuel so they cut back on the throttle percentage and use more runway to pick up speed before they rotate. the first three took it to the extreme.

Enjoy!!

Strobe shot!!

Hmmmmm..... could this be a belly landing?

Another Maintenance Center shot.

More Departures

Former Hooters Airlines perhaps? Great shots by the way, especially the UPS strobe shot. Smiley

Thank you, Gentlemen!!

bok269 is correct. It is a Pace Airlines 737-2K5 and used to belong to Patriot Airlines which I don't think are around anymore.

Bok, we should trade nicks. Grin

Just a side note: Number one is one of the best shots I've seen in here. So life-like and different.

According to the FAA the 737-200 is registered to Wells Fargo Bank. See here

The FAA registrations are really not reliable--the fact that it's registered to a bank just means that the bank owns it, someone's making payments and operates it, the bank has nothing to do with it. It's like a house being paid down--the house is still owned by the bank, but the bank has nothing to do with the house's 'operations'.

Great shots, I love seeing airliners on here, thanks for posting!

I'm not so sure that plane actually is on its belly- could just be the effect of uneven ground
(?).

Anyway, fantastic set, Cory- and if I ever fly out of PHL with the airlines, I think I'll slip the crew an extra twenty bucks for fuel... Shocked

Wells Fargo holds the titles on a whole lot of aircraft!!

You caught me, Sean!! Cheesy

It's a small incline on that taxi way when they cross 27R!!
Heat distortion really screwed this and the other shot up!!
