272 viewsAirline: American AirlinesType: MD80Registration: N234AAAirport: MIACity: MiamiState: FloridaCountry: USADate Taken: May 2010A lot of preparation work in addition to lots of volunteer time was put into making the move across the street a reality. American Airlines, Dade County, Odebrecht Construction, T.Y. Lin Engineering all collaborated on a class-A job. The students of George T. Baker Aviation school are the very fortunate recepients of this 6 million dollar MD80 jet that will hopefully inspire students to make aviation a career!

I'm told this is the station manager's ramp car. I think the speed limit on the ramp at SFO is 20 MPH

231 viewsAirline: ATIType: DC8Registration: N730PLAirport: JFKCity: QueensState: New YorkCountry: USADate Taken: March 1991Actual takeoff weight was 342,000lbs. 242,000lbs was the takeoff weight calculated, this is the result. Flight routing was JFK-BRU. I arrived on the site a couple of hours after the crash and PAPD/FDNY were still putting out the smoldering cargo inside. Luckily 3 crewmembers and 2 pax survived. More photos of the site to come in the future. My friend Dave Kaufman actually witnessed this aborted takeoff from the control tower, perhaps he can add more in the comments section.

212 viewsAirline: ContinentalType: MD80Registration: N18835Airport: LGACity: QueensState: New YorkCountry: USADate Taken: March 1994This photo was taken inside one of American Airlines' maintenance hangars in LaGuardia. The MD80 was brought in there for post-crash investigation and as is usually done after an accident, hide it from the passengers flying into and out of the airport. When I walked inside the airplane, about half way down the fuselage I felt a hump under my feet, that is where the fuselage buckled as the airplane ran off the end of the runway (I believe it was runway 31?), coming to rest on a dike. There were no fatalities luckily. For those that know me these days, obviously I don't wear my hair like that anymore haha

193 viewsAirline: N/AType: N/ARegistration: N/AAirport: JFKCity: QueensState: New YorkCountry: USADate Taken: July 2002Not a pleasant photo but one that I want people to see. Shown on the former Tower Air ramp are vehicles that were damaged on 9/11. I was in Manhattan (at the time I worked for an investment firm in Midtown) on 9/11 and my friends at the PA and JFK-ATC were working that day, a day we'll never, ever forget. May the victims rest in peace and may their families be well.

Dedicated to the flight crew, pax and ATC involved in the incredible water landing on the Hudson.

156 viewsAirline: American AirlinesType: MD80Registration: N234AAAirport: MIACity: MiamiState: FloridaCountry: USADate Taken: May 2010This was probably the most challenging part of the MD80 move. The right main gear had to ride on the center median in order for the already shortened wings to clear both sides of the street. At this point, the MD80 would be tugged to the left to it's final resting place

152 viewsAirline: IFL CargoType: Convair 580Registration: N151FLAirport: MIACity: MiamiState: FloridaCountry: USADate Taken: May 2010I made a significant change to this photo; I left the airplanes in color but changed everything else in the photo to black and white. I chose to do this because here is a propeller airplane from the 1940's, and behind it is an ultra-modern propeller driven airplane from the 90's, so the contrast in airplanes begs for contrast with the airplanes and their environment in this photo. I know that some of you will really love this!

148 viewsAirline: Air 2000Type: 757-200Registration: N/AAirport: CFUCity: CorfuState: Loannis KapodistriasCountry: GreeceDate Taken: August 2002What an amazing place! Photo taken from my hotel room balcony. The pink house in the foreground, that house is rented out to aviation tourists from all over the world. My hotel has no air conditioning and on weekend nights especially, airplanes come in and out ALL NIGHT LONG. Patio door stays open due to heat, but then takeoff noise comes into the room and has no where to go so it goes through your head then outside again. No wonder it is only 40 Euro per night! Not sure if I'll take my wife there..

Sitting jumpseat with two great guys (both ex-Sabena), watching the sun rise from the East (before blinding us as the flight crews crossing the pond regularly know all too well!), as we cross the Atlantic at flight level 410.
