Photo opportunity 9:29pm on Sunday the 28th or 7:30am on Monday the 29th. What is the opportunity? This will be the first taste of scheduled service to/from MSP on the 757-300 series jet. There will be a 2 day taste before summer service starts up on June 8th with the daily 757-300 service. It may be just light enough to capture a picture of the 757 coming in from MSP sunday night. However Monday morning may provide the better opportunity to take pics. If you'd be interested in meeting up on the top level of the parking garage to watch it land Sunday night or take pics on monday morning let me know.

BTW the monday flight out of here is about sold out. By the 29th it should be a complete sellout. FYI the NW 755-300 (753) seats 224 people. Concourse A should be a zoo monday morning.

Of course, the whole airport will be a zoo. That's the morning after the 500!

I'd like to, don't know yet if I can though. BTW, has security ever nabbed you on the garage?

I've only been up a few times and they've never even shown up. But when you are standing out with a camera you don't really look all that suspicous I don't think. Here is probably what I'll do.

Start up top and take a few pics.
Go inside and take a few pics of the zoo.
Go back up top and take some pics of the jets departing.

I don't want to miss the 757-300 leaving so I'll probably time my return to the garage to around 7:25 to 7:28am that way I'm not hanging up on the garage forever and security doesn't have a reason to chase me off.

Besides I think its for a good cause. All of this is to help promote IND so they should be a bit understanding.

They should, but they probably won't. I know that got me once while I was up there, all they do is tell you to leave, but it still sucks.

As of now, it looks doubtful that I can go to the airport on Monday, but I haven't given up yet.
