But, the biggest surprise of the day cam courtesy of a foreign nation. Earlier in the day, I had been watching Ft Lauderdale traffic on Flight Aware to see if anything interesting would be coming in at all. When I check the En Route to FLL page, there was this callsign FAM4101 - that was an Embraer 145. Knowing that sometimes the AM can usually mean a South American Air Force registration and knowing that it was coming from a Mexican airfield, I surmised it was a Mexican Air Force transport. That, on it's own is a nice catch, but the timing wasn't good. However, when someone posted a cell phone picture of an Embraer R-99, this was something I couldn't miss out on! And - true to form - it was a great something to catch! This time, I caught the departure to Bermuda - no doubt it is heading over the Atlantic somewhere as it seems to be over-nighting there. This - is my catch of the year so far!!
While I mentioned that my next post would be on the Ft Lauderdale airport expansion, I couldn't resist posting these two beauties. I have a few more pictures to get on the expansion which I will try and get over the next few days to be able to post. So - in the meantime - some more time behind the camera lens...
