Nice shot. What's that plane rotating on rwy 4?

Thanks for posting, Great Shot! One of the few advantages of wearing Spectacles of a fairly strong prescription is they can be used as a magnifying glass when needed. Because of this extra assistance I am about 90 pct sure the aircraft rotating on 4 is a TWA DC-9-14.

Not to depress anyone, but some of what you don't see in this picture are....

Mohawk Fh-227
Mohawk B111
Allegheny Convair 580
Eastern Electras

and probably an occasional DC-6

among others.

The irony is I used to watch this stuff and comment how boring it was and wished I could see a Continental 727 (Gold Tail), Western 737, Southwest 737, Airwest DC-9,etc.

Just goes to show you, be careful what you wish for when you say "Oh no, not another 747"
