HOXXOH Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 It's a quiz for those who work at or near Sky Harbor, to identify the planes/airlines that landed on the North runway on Dec 1, 2019. The clues are found on Google Earth about 3 miles West of touchdown with the second one mere seconds behind. Bonus points for the time of day and airport of origin.

P51tj Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 1st one will be a guess based on the blue markings on the forward fuselage, I say American and is a Boeing 737 2nd one is Delta and is an Airbus 320. The time is about 11:35 American in from LAS and Delta from SLC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was searching for something else and spotted what appeared to be a plane in the middle of Grant Street and a second one about 1.5 miles behind it. The shocker was how close they were to each other. I worked for 10 years in the '80's at 40th st & Airlane and don't remember planes landing in that short of time intervals (i.e. about 30 seconds) while staring out the window. Then again, I don't remember what I had for dinner 2 days ago either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll make aircraft look closer together than they actually are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
