The Wandering Disciple

Tampa, Florida: On the way home from the zoo, I took a look at Flightradar24 and saw that the More to Love livery from Alaska Air was due into Tampa International within the hour so we decided to make a stop on the way home.

Fort Myers, Florida: While in Fort Myers, I had a little bit of daylight left so I decided to check FlightRadar24.com and see what activity was occurring at Southwest Florida International Airport.  To my surprise there were two aircraft that I wanted to photograph.  First was Illinois One, a special livery aircraft operated by Southwest.  Second was Eurowings, a German-based A330 that always seems to come late when I am in the area.  So I headed to the observation area off Air Cargo Road and photographed the departure of Illinois One.  Then I re-positioned myself to the old terminal parking lot to get a photo of the arrival of Eurowings.  In a matter of a few minutes I got both aircraft and a few bonus ones before having to hit the road.  Here is a look of what I saw today: Airbus 320 - N690NK Boeing 737-700 - N918WN Airbus A320 - N622NK Raytheon Hawker 1000 - N207TT Airbus A330 - OO-SFB
