I took a ride up to Raleigh-Durham on Saturday - they have two observation decks at RDU, a large one facing 5L/23R, with seats, a covered area, playground for the kids, and tower broadcasts piped in. The second is on the upper floor of the General Aviation terminal, looking out over the GA/transient ramp, and facing 5R/23L.
First, from the larger deck:
FlightAware showed an "Air Georgian" CRJ arriving from Toronto - I had never heard of them, so I was really interested to see what would show up. Not exactly what I was expecting...
:-(
Over at the GA terminal, the Philadelphia Flyers hockey team was getting ready to head home following an afternoon game with the Carolina Hurricanes.
Yes, you can get this close...
I spoke with the flight crew for a few minutes before the team arrived. The captain was an ex-Navy E-2 driver, who used to fly into Grumman-Bethpage often.
This was an interesting catch.
First time I've seen split scimitar winglets in person.
The life of a charter pilot - standing around waiting on the clients to show up.
