American Airlines is obviously a big user at DFW International Airport. Normally, the bulk of the fleet coming in are the workhorse craft, MD-80s. Yesterday, I noticed few MD-80s but a lot of their Regional jets flown by American Eagle. It took me a while to realize that the rest of the traffic was fairly normal then it hit me...what I was seeing was the Hurricane Sandy backlash with equipment stuck in places where they couldn't get out etc. That equipment had to be filled in with something else until the planes could flow back into the system. I have one word for the visual shock.....amazing!
Here are a few heavies arriving.

A British Airways Passenger Flight also with 747 equipment.
I liked the old name--- BOAC. It had a romantic ring to it. |
