Was not expecting this on my HNL adventure… 😮 Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) Boeing E-7A Wedgetail, an Airborne Early Warning & Control (AEW&C) version of the B737-700, on final approach to Runway 4R at Honolulu Airport (HNL). Here to take part in exercise PACIFIC EDGE, a multi-faceted exercise with members of the U.S. Air Force, U.S. Marines, U.S. Navy and Hawaii Air National Guard. This was one of 2 Wedgetail’s I was able to see and capture. ⏪ Swipe 4 More ⏪ . ✈️ Boeing E-7A Wedgetail ✈️ A30-004 ✈️ December 1, 2022 . . . #raaf #royalaustralianairforce #A30004 #e7a #wedgetail #e7awedgetail #airforce #boeing737 #boeing #hnlairport #hnlspotting #phnl #avgeek #aviation #aviationlovers #aviation4u #aviationphotography #airplane #airlines #planespotter #planespotting #planepictures #igaviation #instagramaviation #instaviation #instaplane #av1ati0n #militaryjet #militaryphotography #militaryaviationphotography

Oh Icelandair Vatnajökull, we've missed you here at @mspairport ! Everyone here including myself never thought we would ever get to see this awesome livery at MSP ever again, now that Icelandair flies their 737 MAX planes here. The last shot I can find of the 757 in the Vatnajökull livery here was from 2019. So was super excited to hear that it was making a pit stop here at MSP for fuel due to the hot weather in Denver. Originally scheduled to fly Denver (DEN) to Reykjavik (KEF), it diverted here to MSP for additional fuel to continue the flight home. Bummer for the passengers but great for all aviation enthusiasts here at MSP. The Vatnajökull aircraft, aka the Flying Glacier, honors Europe’s largest glacier mass which is located in Iceland. ⏪ Swipe 4 More ⏪ . ✈️ Boeing 757-200 ✈️ TF-FIR ✈️ September 7, 2012 . . . #icelandair #TFFIR #boeing757 #B752 #757 #boeing757lovers #speciallivery #vatnajökull #mspairport #mspairportspotter #kmsp #avgeek #aviation #aviationdaily #aviationlovers #aviationphotography #airplane #airlines #planespotter #planespotting #planepictures #planephotography #igaviation #instagramaviation #instaplane #instaviation #av1ati0n #avporn

It’s not everyday we get Navy F-18’s here at MSP, so was thrilled to have caught the departure of VADER in this sequence, which was the lead aircraft of the 3 we had departing. Really thrilled as we might not see Darth on the tail in the near future as this aircraft is going back to Boeing for evaluation and/or refurbishment. VADER or Vader One, an EA-18G Growler from the Electronic Attack Squadron 209 (VAQ-209) known as the “Star Warriors”, assigned to the Tactical Support Wing, based at the Naval Air Station Whidbey Island in Washington state was roaring down Runway 12R at @mspairport . ⏪ Swipe 4 More ⏪ . ✈️ Boeing EA-18G Growler ✈️ 16-6895 ✈️ June 6, 2022 . . . #usnavy #navy #ea18g #ea18growler #f18g #vaq209 #vaq209starwarriors #starwarriors #166895 #baderone #boeingmilitary #mspairport #mspairportspotter #kmsp #avgeek #avporn #aviationdaily #aviationphotography #aviationlovers #planepictures #planespotter #planespotting #militaryplanes #igaviation #instagramaviation #instaviation #militaryphotography #militaryjet #fighterjet #ihavetheneedforspeed

#flashbackfriday and #freighterfriday with this post. Captured this UPS McDonnell Douglas MD-11(F) departing HNL airport from Runway 8R on its way to Ontario (ONT) on this spotting trip. Made sure to capture it back then because the MD-11’s time in the sky was starting to fade. Glad to see that this bird flew all of 2023 and into 2024. Now it’s time for it to rest for as it was just recently flown to Roswell (ROW) for storage on March 15, 2024. This aircraft was originally delivered to Delta Air Lines back in May of 1992, then flew for World Airways until it was converted into a cargo plane in 2008 for UPS. ⏪ Swipe 4 More ⏪ . ✈️ United Parcel Service (UPS) ✈️ McDonnell Douglas MD-11F ✈️ N295UP 📆 December 1, 2022 🗒️ 5X9889 / HNL - ONT . . . #ups #upsairlines #N295UP #mcdonnelldouglasmd11 #mcdonnelldouglaslovers #MD11 #MD11F #cargoplane #cargoaircraft #freighter #megaplane #hnlairport #hnlspotting #honoluluairport #avgeek #aviation #aviationdaily #aviationlovers #aviationphotography #airplane #airlines #planespotter #planespotting #planepictures #planephotography #igaviation #instaplane #av1ati0n

First time capturing one of KaiserAir 737’s. Have heard of them but they are never in my neck of the woods, so when I heard one was coming in with the San Jose Sharks hockey team I made sure to get out there especially and a nice blue sky day.

Haven’t captured an Omni Air International’s aircraft in a while, especially one of their 767’s, so had to get out to see if before the snowstorm. Here is Omni Air roaring down Runway 12R at @mspairport on its way to Shannon Airport (SNN) in Ireland.

#throwbackthursday to the week with multiple sightings of New Pacific Airlines flying in and out of MSP bringing various basketball team here for the Big 10 Men’s Basketball Tournament.

A nostalgic arrival capture that reminded me of the days when airlines like American and Western had liveries with shiny bare metal. American’s Heritage livery aircraft on final for Runway 30L at @mspairport after its flight from Phoenix (PHX).
