DFW | September 2009 | Founders' Plaza | Mo' sunset spotting...


Obligatory shot of a UPS MD-11F parked adjacent to Founders' Plaza- this is N290UP, built and delivered in passenger configuration in March 1992 to Swissair as HB-IWL. She continued to fly for the downsized Swissair which became Swiss International Air Lines. In 2004 she then went to VARIG Brasil as PP-VTI. In 2007 she was sold to UPS who had the aircraft converted to freighter configuration by SASCO in Singapore in October 2007.


A bank of clouds rolled in front of the setting sun and took me a bit to figure out the best settings on the camera to compensate. N724SK is a CRJ-700 built and delivered in January 2005 to SkyWest Airlines who operates this regional jet in United Express colors.


This is one of many American 737-800s that come in during the evening hours at DFW. N919AN was built and delivered to American in August 1999.


Here's an increasingly rare sight at DFW, an American Eagle ERJ-135, there are only about 29 or so left in service with Eagle. I'm sure if oil prices climb back up, we'll see more of these -135s go into desert storage in Kingman where there are already quite a few. This is N713AE, built and delivered to American Eagle in April 2000.


N363AA is a Boeing 767-300 built and delivered to American back in September 1988.


Hooray, the setting sun is back out, the clouds have moved out of the way...yet *another* arriving 737-800, this is N950AN, built and delivered to American in November 2000.


More American 738 goodness, this is N912AN, an -800 built and delivered to American back in May 1999. That's quite the flock of Eagle ERJs parked at Terminal B!


N645RW is a Republic Airways ERJ-170 built and delivered to Chautauqua in February 2005, now operated by Shuttle America- both companies used in United Express colors and both companies are subsidiaries of Republic Airways.



Nose-tight shot of N622AA, a Boeing 757-200 built and delivered to American in May 1990.
