Waving Pilots at KBUF - August 2019

Real World Aviation Spotting
#1
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!

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

#12

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?
