Waving Pilots at KBUF - August 2019

[Bryan4558]

Hello IFC!

In the summer of 2019, I spent the week in Buffalo. Along with visiting Niagara Falls, I spent a few afternoons spotting at Buffalo (KBUF).

I spotted at a small picnic area by the Mercy Flight facility.
KBUF Spotting Location

The spotting location at KBUF offers a very up-close view of the aircrafts, and pilots can easily see the people taxiing by. Quite a lot of pilots waved towards us, and here are the best photos I took.

Enjoy the photos, and I would appreciate your feedback!

I think this should be in #real-world-aviation:spotting

[Chicago_Aviator]

This should be in the #real-world-aviation:spotting category.

Edit: Just beat me @dca.iad.aviation

[Bryan4558]

Nobody:
The pilots: 🙋‍♂️
Cool shots man!

[Sashaz55]

Really cool shots! Your super lucky for them to wave at you 😂

[MJP_27]

Did I see Buffalo in the title?!👀

That is the spot I go to when I go spotting at Buffalo! Awesome photos!
Btw what day was this on?

[Bryan4558]

Thank you! @RTG113 @Sashaz55

Thanks! I spotted 8/12-8/14. @MJP_27

[MJP_27]

Wait! What’s the photo date of the JetBlue A320?

[Bryan4558]

Sorry for the late reply! I took the JetBlue A320 8/13/19.

[MJP_27]

Oh! I flew on MCO-BUF the day before you took that photo!

[Bryan4558]

I spotted the day before too… Do you remember around what time your plane departed or the registration? Or the JetBlue livery?

Edit: Was it N663JB?

In number 2 the pilot’s window is open.

[Aero]

I love these kind of up close shots, nice work! :)

[Bryan4558]

Thank you! @Aero

I didn’t realize the window was open until you just said it… that’s pretty cool! @StormyAviation

[Thomas_Bennett]

Must admit on nice days its quite nice taxying to and from the runway with the canopy open and waving at children and spotters :)

[ThomasThePro]

The pilots do like to wave 👋🌊. Great shots 😉
