Spotting Time

One of my fellow planespotter friends, Bill, was back home from the mainland, and got in some aviation photography time at the airport. He lucked out on his first day, and got photos of this Urumqi Air Boeing 737-800 as it taxied past us. This 737 was making its delivery flight from Boeing Field, and was taxing for departure to Majuro (its next fuel stop), then onto Guam, Beijing, and finally Ürümqi.

The Boss And The New Plane

At the introduction and the blessing of their first new Airbus A321neo, N202HA "Maile", Hawaiian Airlines President & CEO Mark Dunkerley poses in front of the new airliner prior to the open house, blessing, and media event.  After I took this photo, he asked if I could take one with his camera. It turns out that after the blessing was done, he announced to the media his retirement from the airline.
