Re: Indianapolis Aviation Thread - 2018

I watched a C-17 turn Base-to-Final for 5L a bit ago. It was a beautiful sight indeed. I'm only assuming it is part of the team prepping for POTUS coming here Saturday for the FFA convention. I couldn't see the slash on the vertical stabilizer but again I am assuming it was Andrews AFB. Conventions ...

Re: Indianapolis Aviation Thread - 2018

I also some construction work being down between Weir Cook Memorial Dr (leading into the terminal) and S Service Rd. Are they building another gas station there?

Re: Indianapolis Aviation Thread - 2018

What did these kiosks you saw look like? I just dropped off people at IND and there was a F9 frame sitting at either A1 or A4, it's hard to tell driving up in a car up to passenger drop off. It looked from abeam the port side to be an A321! Two main cabin doors astern the wing struts and two forward...

Ok. So what can IND do long term to fix the customs area for future needs, and expansion? I have never been in it. Went thru customs at the old building 3-4 times boy that was a treat!

IND ATIS?

I am unable to find ATIS right now for IND/KIND. With the in-bound FX push right now, it seems they are landing all on 5L with the occasional 14. Is 5R/23L closed? LiveATC.com does not have ATIS and I rolled snake eyes everywhere I turned. You ought to see the skies right now, a bunch of whoa-ed dow...

ARFF Stations

Any of you work at an commercial airport that has one or more of their ARFF stations completely segregated from street level traffic? One of the two houses at IND is cut off by taxiways and runaways. I heard that at shift change (around 7:00 or 8:00 AM local) that the on-coming crew meet at the seco...

ATL Approach Departure Configuration

Any local ATL resident or frequent flyer tell me the break down of eastbound versus westbound approach and departure configurations at ATL? Like, 80-20 eastbound over westbound, or 60-40 eastbound over westbound? It seems like every time I drive through ATL it is eastbound approaches for 26R, 27L an...

British Crown Flights

If the British Crown Royal were to fly across the Atlantic or elsewhere for that matter, would I be safe to say that BA would be the carrier and would and her immediate family and staff be the only passengers? Would there be a special call-sign akin to "Shepherd One" with AZ? What about di...

Drafts

I am looking for a post I was typing and I am sure it went to a "Draft" and I am trying to find it, can someone tell me where to go to retrieve it? I have been looking around the website.

Re: WN Window Delamination (May 2) Causes Emergency Landing

Looks like the plane is ferrying to BWI tonight and is scheduled for regular service tomorrow. I wonder if they (ATC/ARTCC) will keep them at FL200 or lower? CLE - BWI isn't that long of a flight, 1 1/4 hours. I tried to find an audio clip of the radio traffic between the flight crew and ZAU or ZOB...

PHX ATCT Operations

Under 'normal' operations at PHX, does the TWR split their frequencies between 8/26 and the 7/25s during parallel operations?

IND/Cargolux 747 Question

Around 3:30 PM EDT (Local), a CV 74 was on approach to 5L at IND. I was not close enough to see if it was a 744F or a 748F. CV is in and out of here somewhat often (subjectively speaking). I do not know how to check Flightaware retroactively and curious if were a 747F or the 748F and where it came f...
