Shot this one from the China Air Cargo parking lot next to 13R/31L. This is N913XJ, a Bombardier CRJ-900 flying with Mesaba as Delta Connection. That's right, Mesaba. There's that whole Delta-Northwest merger and this one must've been repainted recently as all the shots on Anet are of it in NWA Airlink colors. On the forward fuselage under the cockpit are the titles "Operated By Mesaba Airlines".
This aircraft was delivered to Mesaba in January 2008 in NWA Airlink colors after being used for a brief time as a demonstrator aircraft for Bombardier at the Dubai 2007 Air Show.
Not much action on the west diagonal this day, so I had to see what I could do with some Ubiquitous-80s. This MD-82 is N463AA, built and delivered to American back in July 1988. She's turning off 13R at the very end of the runway in those close up shot.
Here's some love for the Eagle guys in the prop-jobs. This is N541AT, an ATR-72 built and delivered to American Eagle in January 1998. I think I got the attention of the captain....hey, look, an airportnerd!
