Pink Song is now Pink Delta

[Steve Kurtz]

Remember the Pink Song aircraft? It was recently repainted as a Delta aircraft, but it's no ordinary DL paint job. It has retained its pink color and its breast cancer research theme.

Here's the schedule for the next couple of days. I'll try to keep the schedule coming.

1548 ATL LGA 01OCT
1103 LGA ATL 01OCT
1072 ATL SLC 01OCT
0418 SLC ATL 01OCT
0367 ATL PBI 02OCT
0614 PBI ATL 02OCT
1415 ATL JAX 03OCT
1548 JAX LGA 03OCT
1103 LGA SNA 03OCT

[PhilDernerJr]

For those who don't know, that's a 1:45pm landing at LGA, and a 3:45pm departure.

I can't believe it was there yesterday.

[Mellyrose]

:shock:

[MarkLawrence]

DAMN DAMN DAMN....why didn't I read this before I left home this morning and bring my camera to work - currently en-route to PBI arriving at 10:03am - according to Delta's website...please keep us up to date Steve!

[emshighway]

Mel, your "Pinky Sense" didn't kick in?

[mirrodie]

wow I wish I knew! The clouds and backdrops last afternoon were absolutely astounding!

[Alex T]

Ya know, as it flies around, I am sure more people will get used to this new scheme and the pink delta brand, because that really does throw me off a little bit.

too bad i won't ever see this in person unless it flies to LAX Oct 22nd where I plan to be...

Get some good shots guys and mel :-D

1103 LGA SNA 03OCT

Is that a charter, or a typo? :)

[USAF Pilot 07]

Mets charter?

[tipek]

Steve please keep us updated on this baby. I'm hoping to catch it one day at DCA or in my wildest dreams at SLC with the mountain backdrop :)

Rafal

[moose135]

Mets charter?

No, Mets are home until after Thursday night's (10/5) game.

[USAF Pilot 07]

Mets charter?

No, Mets are home until after Thursday night's (10/5) game.

Any chance it's going to pick up the LA Dodgers?

Although they would undoubtedly already be in NY by today...

LGA-SNA would definately appear to be a charter route...

[Matt Molnar]

The game isn't until Wednesday so it could be picking them up tomorrow. SNA is a good distance from LA, though, isn't it?

[LGA777]

GothamSpotter, DL 1103 operates LGA-ATL-SNA. The aircraft routing's that Steve Kurtz was so nice to supply to all of us are copied right out of Delta's computer system. The format DL uses is line of flight so hypothetically a flight that went from LGA to LAX with 4 stops would show up as only LGA-LAX. If you remember with the Pink Song routing's a lot of the NYC-Florida flights operated with the same flight number roundtrip, say 2001 JFK-MCO-JFK so in DL's format it would show 2001 JFK JFK. I hope this helps and Steve I know I speak for many on here please continue posting whenever you can, we really, really appreciate it !

Cheers

[fly.mcs]

Yes, as Ron has said, we really appreciate it! I love DELTA, so I cannot wait to see this bird (although I'm not too happy with that tail..) but either way, it's a great treat!

Thanks again Steve!

[dlx737200]

Inthe future, would you be able to post the times of those flights?

Not really Phil. I copy this info in a quick haste straight off the DL computer while on my short lived dinner breaks at work. I only get 30-40 minutes a night to get something to eat and updating this info for you all takes at least 5-10 minutes depending on if I can find a computer or not that will give me the info. I figure if LGA is listed on the cities, anyone can just go to Delta.com, look up the flight #, get the time and go get her! Sorry Phil

[T-Bird76]

These clouds better clear up! I'd love to go down to LGA today to get her.

[MarkLawrence]

So far it's a beautiful cloudless morning at PBI - 9L is in use - so, I'll be heading out in about 30 minutes to get her!!

[LGA777]

As a courtesy to my NYCAviation brothers and sisters here are the new LGA Times for Saturday 10-7. 1453 arrives 1600, 1052 departs 1700, Hopefully the sun should be better then ! LGA up and down 4, 13-31 closed for construction !

Mark I hope you had good luck ?

Cheers

[MarkLawrence]

I mssed up my timing getting to my spot - I saw her - got a distance shot..but..it's out of focus...damn it...next time, I'll have the little man in the car earlier and head out earlier!

[INTENSS]

Due back to me in 2 hours....going to try to get another shot of it. Then it's back up to you guys in NY.

Good luck!

-Rich

[T-Bird76]

I'm going to make the attempt today, if she's on time the light still should still be good.

[jakbar]

I'm gonna try for it, too. If 04 is still in use, don't forget to go to Landing Lights Park instead of Planeview Park so you are on the correct side of the plane. Planeview will be backlit at that time of day. For those who don't know, Landing Lights Park is a couple hundred feet west of Planeview Park, and -- you guessed it -- there are landing lights in the park. Go as far as you can to the western side of the park (its a very small park) so you are not directly underneath the planes when they fly overhead.

Josh

[eric8669]

well here is my attempt. Tried something a bit different, went to this School playground on 72nd.

great shots everyone! She blows Pink SOng out of th skies, what a brilliant scheme!

Great shots guys! I'll make sure I'm at PBI in plenty of time next time she comes in - Steve - any more of this weeks schedule - Tuesday or Wednesday into PBI??? that a chance?

[dlx737200]

Mark, schedules are only in 3 day increments, including the day in which they are looked up. So as of today, schedules are only available up until Tuesday and even then, the 3rd day's schedule is highly likely to change. Look at how the plane's routing changed on Saturday from the time I updated the routing and then when Steve updated it.

I think this was the first time she passed through Orlando since the new livery. Not the best lighting (time of day), but otherwise a nice view. This is the departure back to JFK.

Man, I wish I had seen her come into JFK today.

[dlx737200]

Steve, were you on Heintzleman when you shot that? A co-worker told me today about Pinky's MCO visit (2nd time by the way) and said he was driving down Heintzleman when he saw it taking off and said he saw someone stop their car mid-road and jump out with a "huge camera" and shoot pictures of it. Was that you? haha

Justin:

I am afraid I am the guy that jumped out of my car and snapped 'Pinky' as she was departing MCO on Monday. I was listening to my scanner and knew it had been cleared for takeoff. I guess I wasn't as discreet as I thought. :-)

Interestingly, the Silver Anniversary Southwest 737 took off just after 'Pinky', so I hung around for that.

I was lucky.

Sorry Mark I don't know her schedule but I saw her at JFK on the 28th.

[LGA777]

Usually see her about once every week or two at LGA but it seems like every time I see her it's either dark or just crappy weather, and while I have so-so shots still waiting to get a good one. Now if we can just get new fly-boy Justin to post her routings for the weekend that would be great !

Cheers

Any updates on when she may be in the NY area again?

She was at PHX two weekends ago on May 5. http://www.pbase.com/joshandbrian/image/68153403

The Pink Delta was on display this weekend at Andrews AFB.

Very cool to see her brought out to the AFB. Great publicity for a great cause too.

Great pix Greg! Thanks for posting them.

And, yes, very good to see an airliner showing off at Andrews.
