Cool detailing - zoom in on lens cover of tug.

Correct. SFO-LAS 9:15am flight yesterday, on which we sat at D11 for an hour while mechanics tried to get air pressure to emergency brake to hold. Plane was taken out of service and we were directed to E4, where another A319 was waiting. Arrived LAS 2 hours late.

Since this thread has kind of gone quiet (anyone want to take a stab at Long Train Runnin 's post? It seems vaguely familiar to me but I really can't put a finger on it [unless it's DCA...but...]) here's one that's probably too easy -- given that I saw this in a commercial a couple years ago and I told my wife "That's ...." without even stopping to think about it:

Nope -- entirely within one concourse (though in a couple more hours [knock on wood] I will have to move from somewhere to E

I was going to say Terminal E. Now I'm going with Terminal C.

Exactly :-D this one was at C33A across from the United club but unless you're insane enough to memorize the gouges and scuff marks I didn't expect anyone to get the exact location

Or idiotic enough to actually stop and take a picture - and risk getting trampled...

This thread has taught me that I don't look at my feet enough whilst walking.



I am still stumped by the two open challenges,
https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/34434179-post956.html
https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/34445536-post964.html

The former is 757 before winglets, but no clue where the takeoff is happening. Perhaps the seat is 6L on the 28J configuration.

The latter — no idea. Lounge? Public space? It feels like a SAS lounge, but the plants are live, so I think it's elsewhere.

So SAS lounges don't have live plants?
