The 772 was N223UA, the 764 was N834MH. I got the 777 departing, but had to go before the Phils left on the 764. The DL 752 that was also at Atlantic was for the Flyers going to Ottawa.There were buses there waiting for the USF football team to arrive to play Temple. not sure what they used.
Jump to postMy first flight ever was June, 1973 on Allegheny Commuter RDG-PHL, operated by Suburban Airlines. DHC-6 N332MA. Suburban also flew LNS-PHL. If you think those are short flights, Wings Airways flew LOM-PHL and Chester County Air flew MQS-PHL
Jump to postI've been told Nov. 29 is the last day of DHC-100's at PHL. But, some will remain as spares and the -300's could show up there as replacements too. On 11/3 I shot 2 -100's still in US colors/titles. When they go, so will the US brand go forever.
