A Delta Connection (Endeavor Air) CRJ-900 taxiing out for departure on Runway 17, heading a couple hours southeast to Savannah, Georgia.

One of numerous operations to Chicago I saw today. It’s not too common American sends their A319s up here from ORD - mostly A320s and 737s.

Bringing home the butter to the Land o’ Lakes (does anyone get this joke?) after a quick 90 minute airborne from the Mile High City.

This Delta A321 made a not so smooth landing in from Portland. Definitely a bit of float and a bounce on touchdown. It was a bit gusty, so I’ll let it slide.

One of many California flights I saw, this 737-900ER had a very nice landing in from the Bay Area.

Yet another Bay Area flight, @AvioesEJogos 's favorite plane makes some very - A220 sounds on landing.

Though I just missed its arrival, I got to watch this Delta Air Lines A350 pulling into the gate after 8 hours airborne from Amsterdam. It seems like recently this flight has gotten an upgrade to the A350 from the A330s, which is cool.

It’s not too common to see that livery around either.

It works doubly, since Sun Country and Land o’ Lakes are both Minnesotan companies.

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed.

Unfortunately it was cloudy today so I couldn’t spot any MSP bound planes flying over my house. Nice pictures anyway. It’s a shame we can’t organise a “double spotting” like we did with the LH B789, that was good fun.

Cool pictures anyhow, I really want to go plane spotting at an airport again.

We should definitely do that again. If I see anything headed your way, I’ll let you know too.

Thanks! It’s really fun, definitely worthwhile.
