Kif's ASQ6T: Newark to Washington D.C.

Hello everyone,

 

This was a short hop over from Newark Liberty to Washington Reagan National Airport, operating as a United Express flight with the ERJ145 aircraft. The late afternoon traffic congestion at Newark was quite severe, but it was actually quite enjoyable watching all the action unfold while waiting for takeoff.

 

I want to dedicate this flight out of Newark in remembrance of all the innocent civilians who lost their lives in the tragic events of this day fifteen years ago. Let us never forget.

 

Hope you guys enjoy the shots.

- Andrew

Playing the waiting game - Virgin Atlantic goes, and then it’s us.

Virgin Atlantic is away, now it’s our turn to jet out of Newark!
