Meanwhile, back at CLT...
I hadn't really planned on spending time at CLT today, but FlightAware was listing a FedEx 777 making a hop from ATL, which got the CLT spotter group excited. Turned out to be a false alarm, but while I was there, I caught these three TH-57C Sea Rangers (based on the Bell 206 Jet Ranger) out of TAW-5 in Florida.

At the overview, Southwest's Maryland One arrived. I think this may be the first WN special that I have caught - it's certainly the first time I've gotten one in CLT.

Insel Air continues to mock me...arrived behind me on 36L the departed 36R. Fortunately I had the long lens on, but it's still a reach.

How does an A340 climb? Get into ground effect then wait for the curvature of the Earth...
