Every once in a while I like to go and fulfill my need of watching planes take off and land. The weekend is not always the best time to go due to them being slower days at MSP International Airport. However, this weekend was a pretty good weekend for me. I was able to catch a few widebody takeoff & landings as well as, of course, the narrowbody aircraft.
For this weekend's adventure I decided to try and shoot from the upper level of the Terminal 2 Paring Garage. It wasn't an awfully busy weekend, regarding arrivals/departures, but I was able to catch a few nice aircraft movements.
The following are a select few from Day 2 of my weekend of Spotting: Sunday -- the highlight was the Delta Boeing 747-400 arriving from Tokyo's Narita Airport. It used to be operated daily as a 747, however, Delta has been phasing them out and it has been downgauged to a 777-200ER/LR and even sometimes as an A330-200 during the winter season.
