KPHX 6/5/2011

I had another 3 hour layover (5 if you count sitting on the ramp for 2 hours while they fixed the APU that wouldn't work) while connecting in PHX so once again I decided to head up to the T4 parking garage. This time I took my photos from the NW corner of the garage since they were landing from the west.

It was the usual cast there (USAirways), but in the 1.5 hours I was up on the garage I got these specials.....

Caught this one for second time in same trip

And her sister



And this one too for the second time in same trip



A classic

Classic departing


I am really starting to develop a thing for the Frontier fleet






I hope to get back to PHX one of these days to go explore more of the popular spotting areas.

I love the Old colors of SW. Nice photos!

Nice set Steve. I like the Frontier livery too. Check out this website, with all the Frontier planes with their animals. Click on the "Fleets" link at the top and it will list a ton of special paint schemes from the airlines. Pretty cool.

Very nice set Steve, glad we (US) managed to have so many special schemes in such a short time.

It was great. I never expected to see so many special schemes on my trip. I can only imagine what I would get to see if I spent an entire day at PHX.

@Kaz - Thanks buddy! I love that shot of the classic SW too, I just wish there wasn't that little bit of heat shimmer on the wings and it had been a little earlier so the light would have been a little more head on.

Great shots of all the specials.........

Steve........great catches during your short lay over (just kidding). Your lay over was surely loaded with specials to say the least.
