Lovely! Especially like that VIA ERJ. That parking garage certainly offers a nice vantage!

Nice sets John and nice work on the night shots! Keep'em coming. I'll be passing through CLT on 4/17 on my way to San Antonio, hope to get a little terminal spotting in between my flight.

There was some nasty weather in the area, and I was hoping we were going to get some interesting diversions into CLT, instead, we got some ugly thunderstorms that closed the ramp for close to an hour, creating a huge back up. At one point, tower said there were over 40 inbound aircraft sitting on various taxiways trying to get to the ramp, while nothing at the terminal could leave since the rampers were all inside avoiding the lightning.
Before the weather got bad:

LIAT - Leeward Islands Air Transport Services Dash-8 I've seen this come in on FlightAware a few times, but was able to catch it tonight - they just beat the thunderstorms in.

A ramp full of airplanes with no particular place to go.

Thanks, Mark!
We had the AA Reno Air retro come into CLT this evening. Just dumb luck that I caught it - I had been at the overlook, and when things got quiet (real quiet!) I took a ride up to the hourly deck. I saw this coming in on Rwy 23, and I couldn't figure out what it was as it approached. I thought I heard an American call sign check in, but it sure didn't look right. As it got closer and I saw the AA titles, I realized what I had caught!

We also had an Air Canada Express (Sky Regional Airlines) E-175 come in. They were picking up passengers off a CRJ that broke.
