Civilian Aviation

Left LAX for Seattle on American Eagle flight AA6049, Embraer ERJ-175 N206NN providing the traction

We had about an hour delay while they replaced a part in the cockpit (cup holder or something) so i wandered up for a chat with the pilot, who turned out to be from Blackpool!!

After arriving we headed straight for Renton to get some shots of the 737s, mostly -8 MAX's which had just been grounded.....

Good place to visit, you can walk to most areas, the others can be done by some strategic parking!
Most of the frames only have the line Number on them so it takes a while to tie them up!!
On to Boeing Field next
Thanks for looking, loads more in Flickr

Nice selection. Bet its even busier there than it was last August with the slow rate of deliveries.

Yeah, talking to the locals and it appears theyre running out of room! This was shortly after the world wide ban on MAX's so was a good time to go!!!

Great stuff Jon, was there any sign of any RAF P-8s?
