Remarks: Ex Aer Lingus (EI-BXC)/MNG Airlines (TC-MNH). RBY744 from GPT over the threshold for 25R. In an hour this aircraft would depart for Ft. Myers-RSW.
Remarks: The most clear and cool day in Daytona Beach this month. Although it was late at night, some still operating flights in the sky because it's a really nice and cool night!
Remarks: I love when these show up down here, not only does the 757 provide a 'big airport' feel, it also chases the Riddle aircraft out of the pattern.
Remarks: The Monday after the Daytona 500, probably the busiest commercial day of the year at DAB. The 7th departure of the morning, RPA3336 is on the roll for the return back to Washington-National.
Remarks: While we were waiting for the US Airways 734 to depart, a flight of 4 F-15s from Tyndall AFB arrived. The second of four F-15s flares over 25R. These F-15s would later perform the fly-by for the Daytona 500 on Sunday.
