The non spotting holiday that turned out not quite...Florida 24 Feb - 4 Mar 2018 Dave Anderson
On a cold wet
dull Saturday at the end of January an email popped up with
cruise holiday deals, within an hour a 7 night cruise around the
Caribbean was booked. The port of we would leave from was Miami
and although we’d have a few hours on the morning of the cruise
I didn’t plan on doing any serious spotting here as Dave Rose
and I are already booked to do a trip around Florida in October.
Departing from
Newcastle with BA onboard A320 G-EUYH to Heathrow the only thing
of note was Phenom OE-GDF which arrived just before we left.
Heathrow only put a dozen new ones in the log book and nothing
much of interest. Even though our next flight was with BA we
were flying from Terminal 3, there are hardly any views inside
the terminal, though gate 42 which our A380 G-XLEE was parked,
gave some views over 28L. Arriving on time in Miami it was now
dark and only a few noted before heading to the airport Sheraton
hotel for an overnight stay. The hotel room didn’t give any good
views of the airport, though departures could be seen ok and a
reasonable log was made before heading down to the cruise port.

Returning back
to Miami and ready to leave the boat for home a text arrived
from BA saying our BA208 from MIA/LHR was cancelled, after a
phone call to them we were now flying from Fort Lauderdale the
following evening to Dallas Fort-Worth and on to Heathrow. So
what to do for 24 hours in the Miami area mmm I wonder?? while
the missus was shopping I was booking a suite at the Hilton
(room 520) with a balcony overlooking the airport and a car for
the next day. By mid afternoon we were settled in for some great
photography and views over the whole airfield. The Hilton is
well known for its views and it certainly didn’t disappoint,
anything taxying from the international terminal can easily be
seen and photographed and most of the interesting freight were
departing on the nearest runway to us (see pictures).

The following
morning after a wake up call from Mr Rose who was on duty
watching what had arrived during the night and a leisurely
breakfast the wife was given the log book and at 10am we headed off to
do all the viewing points around the airport to see the
freighters, bizz and stored aircraft, this is easily done and
not much is missed. It is over 10 years since I last visited MIA
and nothing much has changed to hinder viewing and photography.

Ten miles
up the road is Opa Locka, always an interesting stop off with
Bizz jets, light aircraft and stored airliners, however since my
last visit the number of stored airliners was well down but bizz
jets and new FBO operators was well up. Numbers were easy enough
to get but lots inside hangers were missed, photography is not
that good mainly through fences so our plan in October is
hopefully to arrange an airside visit. An hour here produced a
healthy log with a few nice gems from Venezuela, Argentina and
Columbia oh and Teesside’s old regular Boeing 707 N88ZL looking
like its ending it’s life here.

Another 15
miles up the road was our destination, Fort Lauderdale
International Airport, again making left turns around the
airport you can see most of the bizz jets, light aircraft and
the few freighters that are in. There is a dedicated viewing
area at the end of Runway 10L that is great for viewing landing
and departing aircraft but again photo’s are through the fence.
After dropping off the hire car and sorting out our revised
paper work we had a few hours to wait before catching our
American Airlines Boeing 737-800 N8277N to Dallas.

Dallas is a
huge airport and after a 20 minute taxy to stand in the dark and
then a train shuttle transfer to another terminal we only had an
hour or so at the gate before leaving on Boeing 777-300 N732AN
for the 8 hour 50 minute flight to Heathrow. Dallas is dominated
by American Airlines and as you can see from the small log not
much else.

After a few
hours at Heathrow we left for Newcastle on A320 G-EUYV so the
non spotting holiday turned out to a be a little tasting session
for our trip in October adding over 450 new ones in the log book
as well as a batch of nice pictures from Miami.
