Plane Spotting at Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky Airport - CVG

[playasonline]

Oh wow these were the days! None of these delta heavies land in CVG anymore except for the 767-300Er's and 767-400's which are used as DAL flight 44 and 45 to and from CDG. The economy is hitting hard. (Sad face).

hey can someone answer this? Does the lufthansa cargo md-11 still come to cvg???

[trepo757]

@spyderboy8 nope, the largest cargo plane here anymore is a Polar Air Cargo Boeing 747-400C

[spyderboy8]

@trepo757 a few weeks ago, my friend went down there really early in the morning on a saturday and saw an md-11 land and he said it took off at 9:30am?

[trepo757]

@spyderboy8 well, i know that there was a Lufthansa Cargo that used to come in here, but I don't think it does anymore...

[spyderboy8]

@trepo757 ok thanks! u just saved me a wasted trip!!!!!!!!!

[trepo757]

@spyderboy8 lol who wants to visit CVG anyway? :p the CVG in this video is CVG in its heyday...

[spyderboy8]

@trepo757 i go there a lot!!!!!!! the commercial part has gone WWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYY downhill but the cargo part is movin uphill big time!!!!! Dhl started construction last month on 19 acres of land for the parking of 9 new wide bodied aircraft. and the cargo is the part that has all the big planes and all the ones that delta no longer uses. except for 737's, 767's, and 747's of course!!!!!

[trepo757]

[scotty2553]

@bluepanther1011 It's the designated viewing area right by the intersection of Donaldson Rd. and Mineola Pike on the east side of the airport.

I can't believe how Delta is ruining CVG. it used to be so busy. My friends visited the control tower and TRACON and they said it was just said how slow it was. It will never be the same.

@deltafan909 true cincinnati is a dying city now. i was born here, now going to UC. When I graduate next year I'm planning on moving to New York City or somewhere closer. Never thought i'd say it, this place used to be so much better than it is now. I also hate local news, but that's something different.

[buddhika216]

@beluch1000 I've lived in the city for the past 9 years.... that's good enough time to know where the city is heading.

[beluch1000]

@buddhika216 I have lived in the city for 15 years. I have also lived in Indianapolis, Atlanta, Detroit, San Francisco, and Montreal, Ontario. It has 10 fortune 500 companies and a steady population since its major decline in the late 20th century. It is a pretty solid area. You want declining, try Detroit.

[buddhika216]

are there any international flights that fly to cvg anymore?

[deltafan909]

@buddhika216 Yes. Delta flies KCVG-LFPG(paris) every week. There is also a return flight.

[MikeDelta737]

Ya, CVG was awesome back then!!! Would love to see the Air France A343 here again!! Also, I miss those loud 732's tooo!!! Its just sad now.

[BenAndSam3]

Today there is going to be a333 there.

[bluepanther1011]

Plane viewing at O'Hare in Chicago is amazing. And whats up with all the old Deltas?

[CVGhubflyer]

Back then it was so amazing to go and watch. Always something moving. Now Cincinnati is just sad... Delta has cut us deep and it HURTS!
