To some not so sad stuff.
Aer Lingus to Indiana!
A round trip (including going on the inaugural) is actually quite cheap.

Tried to do some spotting yesterday but one flight was late (probably backlog from severe storms that passed through) and no others were taking off soon, so I grabbed some on the ground
Western Global Airlines MD11 (unknown reg #) and an unknown DC9, B717, or MD80:
A Nicholas Air C68A #N328N and an Airshare E55P #N361AS (with two Western Global Airlines B744s and an MD11 in the background)
And then two more Western Global Airlines MD11s #N581JN and unknown reg:
That other MD11 you said that has an unknown reg on the last picture, I believe that’s N764SN which doesn’t appear to be on the official website so other than that I’m not sure.
The colors made me think ex-FedEx or Lufthansa Cargo or something.
I think i can see lufthansa logo on the tail
You’re right I can see the faint ghost of it! Huh.
Edit: After looking it up, turns out Western Global Airlines has 7 of Lufthansa’s old MD-11s! I believe this one is N784SN, the second to last MD-11 flying with LH Cargo as D-ALCD. WGA also has LH’s last flying MD-11, N783SN/D-ALCC, which had a sticker that said “Thank you MD-11, Farewell”. Almost all were acquired by LH ~2000 and retired ~2015-2020.
Here is the last pic of her wearing the LH logo:
And another with her new reg and white paint, just before being ferried from FRA to SHV.
Another accident
A Cessna citation CJ1 has crashed in Brazil while arriving to an airport near Sau Paulo. We only know of one death which was the pilot. Rest in piece to anyone involved https://www.youtube.com/shorts/aYsN_vj7tbY
These crashes just wont stop
we also had the fires in LA
Yeah but it’s not really aviation related, but I still send condolences to anyone involved
yeah I sawed A DC 10 near the fire area on Flight radar 24
Live spotting from Gatwick:
Aircraft banking
ryanair
Just doing the Emirates (that was the sole purpose of today’s spotting) and later if anything good departs I’ll try and get it.
My friend also got to see it (he’s got less sun so it’s better

Ok done for now.
Well that’s it for today. Thanks for looking!
So on my way home I decided to stop and do some plane spotting in 25F(-3.8C) temps at KMSP.
First I need to go under RWY 17
This is Deicing away from the concourse,
Delta action at Concourse F&G,
