NASCAR Race Weekend - 56k beware

N519AT

Ahh! This is how I change this!
I was asked to help out at work with the NASCAR flights that came in on top of our normal transient stuff.

Pictures were taken.

This crew was kind enough to let me take photos of the flight deck. Unfortunately all I had was my 70-200mm lens, so this was the farthest I could zoom out.

Oops! There was a break down of communications here. The pilots thought the marshaller wanted them to turn right away, when the marshaller wanted them to go down farther to the entrance to the ramp. They got a little close to the taxiway light as a result. At least they didn't hit it, like a 727 crew did the last time they were in.

We had to borrow equipment from BAX global, and upon doing so I took my camera and pictures. DC-8s getting a well deserved rest

On our way back, we were told to hold short for departing traffic.

I thought I was going to see a bunch of race cars... going around in a circle. It's must be challenging to make a right turn for those guys.
 
Thanks for all of the compliments!

That's cool, but which drivers did you see?

I don't know if I saw any drivers or not (I don't follow NASCAR) but I did talk to a playboy bunny.

Any chance N500PR was out there?

I didn't see that aircraft out there, they may have gone to KJXN.
 
nice shot of the SAAB 2000....and the ATI DC-8s kinda rare....

What kind of plane is that with the hump? ;)
 
The version that you're not cool enough to fly.

I can type 80 words/min with one finger, so I can make it go.

I don't, however, have a smoking jacket or a man-purse, so I'm not quite of the type of individual they desire to fly such "equipment"

:D
 
I've always had a special place in my heart for any Saab aerospace products, obviously to include the 340 and 2000.

Just my opinion.....but i think this would be cooler than talking to the drivers :)


Great pics though!
