Birthday Spotting in Minneapolis

On this lovely 20th day of September, which also happens to be the 17th anniversary of my birth, I went planespotting at MSP. It’s been a brutally hot summer, so I was glad that the weather has finally cooled off enough to me comfortable.

All photos are mine and taken on the iPhone 18 Pro Max (I think it’s a good upgrade for spotting from my 16 Pro).

Due to poor weather in Milwaukee, this A320neo ended up in Minneapolis. They left about 90 minutes later. The same also happened to a Southwest 737-700, originally flying from Washington, D.C. to Milwaukee.

Thank you, all!

Yes, that’s definitely something I’m looking into getting. Hopefully soon, since planespotting in Minnesota in the winter is… not pleasant. Though it seems like we might be in for a very mild winter, which I wouldn’t mind.

Yes, it is! I’m very happy the weather cooperated - it’s been rainy recently.

It’s a free upgrade through my carrier lol.

Thank you!

Your singing is fabulous.

Thank you, @Kstate ! I also did this thing called AviaSim, would highly recommend:

A present from AT&T lol.

Thank you very much!
