Hello, Well today was a very interesting day to go spotting. Delays, delays, delays. As ATC explained it to the numerous pilots waiting to depart, the computer system that deals with filing flight plans got a glitch and everything went haywire. Well to say the least, I was able to catch a few planes that normal take off before the sunrises. The sad thing, most of these planes left the gate and sat on aprons and taxiways for up to three hours. Yes, three hours. All because of a computer glitch. The weather was overcast but nothing to cause delays even if de-icing had to take place. Here they are.

And the biggest surprise even in not so good lighting was United Express in new colors.

Nice variety! Much better to be standing at the fence line for three hours than sitting in an aluminum tube! Love the cargo shots!
