Opa Locka & Fort Lauderdale-Executive 10-12-2023

Post by LifelinerOne »

On Sunday 10 December 2023, I also made two quick dashes to Opa Locka and Fort Lauderdale-Executive.

Photographing at Opa Locka is getting more and more challenging with new fences and barriers in place. Especially at some FBO's new barriers have been placed, preventing you from driving onto the premises and shoot from the fence.

Fort Lauderdale-Executive is a bit more relaxed but I was chased away by airport security when I tried to photograph a few stored bizjets from Venezuela.

Ah well, can't have it all and still got some nice catches:

First Opa Locka:

1. Parked really close to the fence, so was a bit tricky to photograph, this CRJ HI1058:

2. Still flying (almost) daily are the Convairs of IFL and Conquest Air:

3. Same goes for this Atlantic Air Cargo DC-3 N705GB, which was a bit boxed in by other aircraft:

4. This DHL Aero Expreso B737-400F HP-3110DAE has been present at Opa Locka for a while and is taped-up:

5. Opa Locka is also known for its many bizjets. Next to quite a few American ones, there are also often some nice foreign ones, like this Canadian EMB-550 C-FSRX:

6. My final shot from Opa Locka is this JSX ERJ145 N954JX. Opa Locka is a hub for JSX:

On to Fort Lauderdale-Executive!

1. This ERJ145 N286DP is operated as corporate shuttle by Intel:

2. Squeezed in close to the fence is this IAI1124 YV3140:

3. And LJ-31 LV-CNF:

4. A better looking Argentinian bizjet was this Gulf LV-KAX:

5. 43 years old and still flying, this Sabreliner N70SK:

6. And ending this set with this Hawker P4-RCA:

...rather challenging fences -and security indeed, but you captured some nice "bizzer oldies" , apart from the Convairs and the Dak ! :)
