3.29.08 British Airways last flight to DTW

[nwafan20]

Well, it sure was a sad day in Detroit as it was British Airways' last flight into DTW after 50 years of service ranging various aircraft. They were the first ever carrier to fly internationally from DTW and it was very sad to see them leave.

We had a very good turnout for the last flight, Lots of people showed up for this historical flight. We caught both the arrival and departure.

I have been very busy so I have only had time to edit the BA arrival, I will edit the rest of the spotting pictures later, including one that we had to chase to and from 3 different runways (Funjet Vacations)!

Here is BA:

Glad you got to cover it, Matt. Very sad indeed.

Great weather on a sad day. I guess you won't be hearing speedbird for a while on your scanner.
