Air Traffic at Phoenix Sky Harbor
|
I visited Sky harbor in th emorning of July 31 to photograph Honeywell's 757 departing for Atlanta, Georgia. Severe weather forced it to divert to Brimingham, Alabama. I also caught America's Piedmont Pacemaker and Allegheny Vistajet A319s, and Frontiers Spot the Jaguar A321. In the afternoon, I attempted to photogaph Southwest's Shark Week Tiger Shark 737, but I selected the wrong runway. Instead, I caught Southwest's Classic gold 737.
