Maybe 3 or 4A on a 738?

Right idea, but not quite. 5A on 739. Too hard to distinguish from that view, I guess!

Any takers for location/aircraft/seat for this one?

Not sure about airport. Is it IAH? Looks like a US highway sign in the background, but I can't think of a runway that would have both a sign like that nearby and buildings.

Aircraft is 763, ready for takeoff.

Seat is 9L?

I didn't think the 763 had the odd leading edge nublet displaced above the engine pylon (nor did I think the engine projected that far forward) -- but its type-rating sibling the 757 does feature that anomaly. If it's a 757, my money is on an F seat in row 4 or 8.

I'm having a real hard time placing the airport -- the aura it gives off is definitely a one of a North American airport between signage and the truck body in the background, but that low observation/control tower doesn't fit any of the airports I really recognize or threw into a quick Google)

Ah, I think you are right actually 757. The pylon doesn't look right for 767 either. I was just looking at the wingtip!

Indeed it is a highway in the background and indeed it is in the US, but it's not IAH. Also not a 763, but you are within 5 rows of the seat.

Good eye on the pylon! It is a 757, though I sat a bit further back. You're on the right track with the continent as well...

Alright, still kind of stumped on the airport. I think it's not any of the hubs. Before I pore over satellite photos, is it in Florida?

For aircraft type, it must then be 753, and I'll guess seat 14F.

Ding ding on the 753, though you're still a couple of rows off... and it is not in Florida.

We have a winner! Lining up on Runway 4 at LGA. Thought that would have lasted longer
