Spotting Log: KTPA

Tampa, Florida: A new year is here and so is a new year of planespotting.  The first planespotting trip of the year would be during a NYD trip to Tampa and thus a stop at the short-term garage at Tampa International Airport.  For a while now, I have always missed out on getting a photograph of Swoop and when I saw it had a daytime landing, we headed over there.  While waiting for Swoop to depart back to Canada, got a few surprises including the second of the retro Southwest, the Celtics JetBlue and US Air Force flyover or Raymond James Stadium for the Outback Bowl.  Not bad for a last minute plan.  Here is a look at what we saw during our stopover at TPA:

  For many years, a towering, iconic Sorcerer's Hat served as the unmistakable central landmark for Disney's Hollywood Studios (formerly MGM Studios), drawing visitors deep into the park's vibrant heart.
