PHL 2/28/09

[Cary]

Only a few hours of spotting until the skies turned overcast. Also, this (http://www.airliners.net/photo/Grumman- ... 1445174/L/ (http://www.airliners.net/photo/Grumman-American-G-1159/1445174/L/)) was parked near Atlantic Aviation.

Sunwing actually had two planes at PHL. Apparently, the flight from yesterday had a mechanical, and they flew in another to sub. I knew one would be in, but I was surprised to see two bright orange tails together when I approached the airport (especially after a very slow day at PHL last week).

There are 4 different liveries on Sunwings:

The plain white

And the XL scheme - blue below the tail, plain blue winglets and the plain blue engines - that is in the queue but the reg is C-FTAH. - now the pic
