Blue Bravest Shoot in Houston
I have been wanting to get some shots of the Blue Bravest ever since it came out. Unfortunately, JetBlue only sends the Embraers to Houston. Our schedule changed a bit this past week, and one of our Boston flights was operated by the A320. Originally, they were only supposed to be the sharklet A320's with the boring barcode tail; however, I sent a few emails asking for a tail swap. This past Friday, about an hour before departure from Boston, the swap was made. By the time I got to work and saw it was coming in, I could have kicked myself for not bringing my camera to work! I checked before I went to bed the night before, and it wasn't showing coming to Houston. Anyways, I live 45 minutes from work, so I drove right back home to get my gear. I also called a friend of mine to come out to shoot it. He is a former FDNY EMT, and I knew this plane would have a special meaning to him. As of today, Houston is an all Embraer station again indefinitely. Here are the shots I got.
