Is Delta at 2 and 3? I see they are sharing 2.
ReplyDeleteYes, the big move happened a little over a month ago. T3 is all Delta and their subs (Compass and SkyWest), while T2 is Delta and some of their Skyteam partners.
DeleteLooking online, it appears as though DL is using both T2 and three. What's American doing these days? Hard for me to see from here in Utah. After the merger, they had outgrown T4 and were using some of T6, I think. Actually, they had outgrown T4 a long time ago, based on my treks to Imperial Hill.
ReplyDeleteBTW, love your blog...On two occasions, I considered becoming a controller instead of a pilot. Life works that way, I guess. Also, it was nice of you to get those three Spirit planes in the proper order :-)
American is all of T4, and some of T5 (formerly some of T6). Their subs (Compass and SkyWest) operate out of a remote terminal east of T8. They have eight gates there, 52A-52I.
DeleteI guess I'm a bit late commenting on this page, but how many paint schemes do Spirit have, anyway? On the first pic here, they have blue tails with a swoopy S in red, green yellow and light blue. On the last pic, the Canary yellow. On the article before this one, there is a photo with two Spirit planes with a livery with blocky grey 'pixels' of various hues.
ReplyDeleteI thought the theme on this entry was 'only Boeings or Airbusses in one pic' but Aer Lingus passed before T2 with an A330...

Spirit has all three of those paint schemes actively flying. The oldest is the grayscale, which dates back to 2000 or so. The blue tail appeared around 2010, while the banana bus came out just a year or two ago. In line with their ultra-low cost business plan, I suspect that airplanes just soldier on with their existing paint until they either get retired or are due for repaint anyway. New aircraft are delivered in the current scheme.
DeleteI wondered if someone would catch Aer Lingus photobombing the Boeing twinjet family portrait. That shot is notable in that it includes a representative of each of the Boeing commercial twinjet families: That's a B737 at Gate 22 (lower left), with other B737s at 28, 23, and 21B. Then a B757 at 24A, a B767 at 24, a B777 at 26, and at Gate 25, a B787 from Virgin Atlantic.
