A7-HHK (cn 926) This photo was taken during a period around 1997 when this plane made several trips to Cleveland, probably in connection with a Cleveland Clinic visit. Pictured here parked on the old Air Services ramp, the crane in the distance is working on the construction of the D concourse which opened in 1999. |

None (cn None) A view of Hopkins airport while on downwind back in what I believe was 1997. You can still see the decommissioned runway 18/36, as well as the old 5/23 parallels. Construction of the D concourse was also going on at this time. Super sharp eyes will spot a Rich International L-1011 parked at the north hardstand to the left of the photo. |

N94226 (cn 48) (View at 1152.) I used to love hearing the glorious shriek of the Rolls Royce Darts on these birds even as they drowned out every other sound on the airport. Parked here on the south cargo ramp early in the morning after a busy night of flying. |

N719CK / N6806 (cn 19481) (View at 1152.) Certainly one of the ugliest planes I'd ever seen, this 1968 build ex-American Airlines 727 was converted to a freighter the year before (1996) and immediately put to work forsaking a new coat of paint. Pictured here on the south cargo ramp wearing the temporary registration of N719CK, this plane spent most of its life prior, and after this shot as N6806. It went on to be painted in the final Kitty Hawk livery before being broken up in Fort Wayne in 2005-2006. This registration is now worn by a 747-100F operated by Kalitta Air. |
