LGA got a very pleasant surprise in the shape of an Allegiant MD-87. she arrived from Rome, NY (KRME) as AAY7092 and is filed to go out to Tunica, MS (KUTA) as AAY7093. the airplane is N945MA.

jetBlue A320 with new colors just landed on runway 4.

13 February

1030L
SWA's "Neveda One" (N727SW just laned, looks like she could use a polish.

also, VP-BPZ is still here as well as a turbine-powered straight tail bonanza with tuna tanks. awesome!!

Those turbine Bonanza's are really cool airplanes. I like them alot performance wise. However, they look like a Bonanza crashed into the ass end of a PC12 standing still with that long nose.

I saw (today around 2pm) a B-722 Super Advanced sitting where Trump's jet usually does. It has a dark blue tail with a huge, white "N". Does anyone know who this jet belongs to?

That 727 belongs to Peter Nygard, some sort of fashion designer. She is a frequent visitor to LGA.

Unless Nygard has a second plane, I don't think that's it. There's a really big uppercase "N" on the tail. It almost looks like the font for Northeastern Airlines.

I should also state that I didn't get to see the fuselage. Only the tail and winglets,

SWA's Maryland One, N214WN is spending the night and departing tomorrow as SWA65 at 0730.

Trump just made a very nice landing on runway 4 and is back home. Great to see it finally land from the tower.

727s still rule :D

They always will. Three engines tail mounted and a wing that comes apart in so many way that transformers are left saying...."WTF?" I love that airplane. It is a shame I was born about a decade late. I'd loved to have at least sad sideways in those things.

US Airways Star Alliance A319 just took off runway 4.
