KMIA - March 15th Morning -

[lijk604]

After my Opa Locka visit, I finally had my first experience shooting at MIA. I went to "The Holes" location as they were taking off and landing on the 8's with a few 12's here and there. I'll save you the 100 or so AA 737's and share the one's I liked the best.

As you can probably see in this shot, the heat haze was getting really bad. So I packed it up and headed north.
Look for FLL/FXE pictures next week. Thanks for looking!

Way to go John! Sweet set ..... I got to make it down there for a day or two of spotting! Nice variety.

[Delta777LR]

Great set John!

[Kris V]

Nice set, love the holes...can't wait to be back in Miami sometime soon.

Great Set!

Awesome set of shots John!!!

SkyLease on 08R is unusual. I was in Miami for 7 months and I saw them exclusively use 09. Did they move their ops to the new North-side facility along 36th St (that could explain it)?

Great set, John !

Uhhh...Air France A320?

[LGA777]

Uhhh...Air France A320?

Air France has been flying usually 2 narrow body aircraft from MIA to the French speaking Caribbean Islands going back to at least the Caravelle days, I think they serve around 8 total including SXM.

Great pics BTW.

Cheers

Tis: They were on the North East side of the airport, so I'm thinking yes.
Ron: Thanks for the clarification on the AF 320!

And thanks to all for the kind words.

Kick ass stuff! I would have liked to see the 100 737's :biggrin:

[steve1840]

Great stuff from MIA john!! Man I have got to get my arse down there!

[eric8669]

Uhhh...Air France A320?
As Ron said they fly that plane all over French Caribbean. I've shot it at SXM

[moose135]

Very cool, John! What a great variety of stuff!
