"Stored 03/15" according to Airfleets.com. I got this Delta Connection CRJ-100ER arriving from Detroit at the dusk of its career as a Reginald!

This Super MD-88 is still in its' prime, arriving as one of the many daily MD-88s from Atlanta!

This one is (as of 7/6/2015) still in its Carolina Panthers livery! I'm glad I got it while the NFL liveries were still intact, inbound from Punta Cana.

One of my favorites, the American Eagle ERJ-175 with the new winglets (aka. the spatula special) inbound from Chicago O'Hare.

Inbound as an equipment sub for our usual Boeing 777-200ER, this Boeing 777-300ER was quite a treat to see on PHL's ILS RWY27R, inbound from London-Heathrow.

Tristate, I too spot at PHL and find the constant parade of U.S. Air/American traffic is counter balanced by the excellent access to the airport. I've never gotten a second look from security or the police. There are days I've stayed after sunset. The spotting locations are easy to reach from I-95. I've probably gotten pix of every 777-200ER in British Air's fleet. So, yeah, there's plenty to do at PHL.
