I was able to grab a few pictures during my recent trip to Memphis. This trip was a split of American Airlines and United Airlines.
On this trip, I was able to fly my first MD-83, at least from what I can remember. I might have flown one when I was younger, but back then I wasn’t as interested in the types of planes I was getting to fly. This plane has an interesting layout with 2 seats on the left side and three seats on the right side. Say hello to N9616G!
I didn’t get a great picture of this due to how the jet bridge was situated, but this was N811NN a Boeing 737-800 for our quick trip over to Memphis.
Oh the way out of DFW, I got to see Dallas Cowboys Stadium.
During my time in Memphis, it started out warm but a storm moved through and it was very cold the remaining time there. However, I did get to enjoy some nice BBQ visiting both Central BBQ and Rendezvous. I also got to spend some time with my sister and her family which was very nice since I had not seen them in some time.
Leaving Memphis, I got to see many big FedEx planes since the Memphis Airport is the FedEx hub. There were a couple of UPS planes in the background, but they were greatly outnumbered. I think these were MD-11Fs. I also got to see a few Boeing 777s which are my favorite plane.
The last plane I got a picture of was N855RW an Embraer 170.
It was snowing when we landed in Chicago O’Hare and things were already getting backed up. My last flight into Columbus was delayed due to a late inbound plane. However, once it landed they quickly got it ready and de-iced for our quick flight. Since it was dark, I didn’t get a picture of it, but the plane was an Embraer 175 N723YX.
That sums up my first documented trip in a while. I hope to grab more pictures next time.
