Arriving from its home base in Shreveport, LA, is N8KU, a Socata TBM 700 built in 2004 and owned by the Aeolus Group.
Getting ready to turn onto Runway 31R for departure, this Dassault Falcon 900EX, tail number N909SB, belongs to AT&T (and before that SBC Communications before they bought AT&T) and was previously registered as N404A with Bell South.
N12934 is an Embraer ERJ-145EP that was built and delivered in July 1997 to ExpressJet and operated under the Continental Express banner. This flight was departing for Houston Intercontinental (KIAH).
Starting its takeoff run down 31R, N637SW is a Boeing 737-300 that has yet to modified with blended winglets. This aircraft was built and delivered to Southwest in September 1996.
N380SW is another Southwest Boeing 737-300, this time with winglets. Here she is rocketing down 31R with the Love Field tower in the background. She was built and delivered to Southwest in April 1994.
Not long after the earlier SBC/AT&T Falcon 900EX departed, another one from the same company rolled out on 31R for takeoff- not sure if it was headed to the same destination as the previous departure. This 900EX, N900SB, was built in 1998. Unlike N909SB, this one has what I think is a satellite communications fairing atop the vertical fin.
Didn't get the tail number of this Continental ERJ-145 arriving from Houston. I'm surprised it came out decently considering a bank of clouds moved into the area briefly.
First time I've caught a Citation Mustang, this is N352AS, the 201st Citation Mustang built and owned by CNC Aircraft of Venice, Florida. By the time this one got into a good position, I had to shoot past the barbed wire atop the perimeter fence. Grrrr...next time I'm standing on the roof of my car. I somehow think trotting out a 10 foot ladder to shoot from may not go over well with the local authorities.
N797MX is a Boeing 737-700 built and delivered to Southwest in March 2001. I've never seen "MX" used in Southwest's tail numbers before.
One of my favorites of the day, here's N797MX (Boeing 737-700) up tight and close as it turns onto 31R for departure.
Southwest's flights at Love Field leave in waves and N497WN was part of a pack of flights leaving in rapid succession off 31R. This particular Boeing 737-700 was built and delivered to Southwest in December 2004.
N925WN is a Boeing 737-700 built and delivered to Southwest in June 2008- probably the newest Southwest jet I've photographed so far.
Another one of my favorites of the day, here's N925WN accelerating down 31R with the Love Field terminal in the distance.
N403LM is a Gulfstream 200 owned by Lockheed Martin, built in 2003. The G200 was originally designed and built by Israeli Aircraft Industries as the IAI Galaxy and was the product of a joint development between Yakovlev (based on the Russian company's own Yak-48 design) and IAI (using the IAI Astra's wing). In 2001 Gulfstream acquired IAI's Galaxy division and renamed the Galaxy the G200.
