WELL.....THE TIME HAS COME TO SAY GOODBYE TO DFW...FOR 30 OR 60 DAYS 😁

We are ready to roll and hit the road folks. I even got myself a flu shot and a haircut.

If I can get packed in time, I hope you can join me Saturday evening at 7 p.m. for episode #534 of Pip's Planespotting LIVE! from DFW.

Don't forget to click on the link below and pre-like and click the "NOTIFY ME" button so you will know when we are On the Air.

Unless something crazy or unforeseen happens, this will be our last Dallas Ft. Worth broadcast for at least 30 days and hopefully for at least 60 days(because that means the broadcasts are going well)So I hope you can all tune in.

Will it be as DRAMATIC as Michael Jordan's last shot in the 1998 NBA Finals against Bryon Russell? Probably not. BUT you never know :).


Let's enjoy DFW together until the thermometer goes below 100 F.

See you Saturday(tomorrow evening).

Sincerely,

COME WITH THE THUNDER, LEAVE WITH THE LUCKY CHARMS

Nothing like a Severe Warned Storm to get you excited to plane spot on our live show.

It started with a microburst and ended with a rainbow.

Hopefully, that rainbow is a sign of good things to come.

Below are a couple of screenshots from the storm that rolled into DFW Airport this afternoon.

And here is the link to the quick timelapse of the storm rolling through.

I counted over 20 diversions from the storm.

It's 1:48 a.m. and I wanted to get this out to you.

More to come. Plus our last show in DFW?!?!?!?

WEDNESDAY NIGHT PLANE SPOTTING......AND WHICH ROUTE SHOULD WE TAKE?

If YOU like live action from the 4th busiest airport the world, tune in WEDNESDAY.

If YOU like A380's, 747's, 777's and MORE, tune in WEDNESDAY.

If YOU like planes flying right over your head on North flow, tune in WEDNESDAY.

The forecast is ONLY for 99 F so we might even broadcast part of rush hour 😂.

We will try for 5 p.m. CDT but if we have to move back to 7 p.m., I hope you'll understand.

Please tune in just after 5:00 p.m. CDT, don't forget to hit the "THUMBS UP" button and "NOTIFY ME" so you'll know when we are on.

Here is the show link below.

Also, I've sketched out some routes to my Portland Maine that we could take. Let me know what you think. It will probably take 3+days to get there from Dallas.

I look forward to seeing you all on Wednesday.

LETS ALL GO TO TOULOUSE! AIRBUS TOUR! UNITED AIRLINES ANNOUNCES 10 NEW INTERNATIONAL FLIGHTS.....BUT NONE FROM CHICAGO O'HARE

As you can see, I have listed the 10 new international routes BUT we are going to make you work and become masters of aviation trivia. I have included only the 10 IATA airport codes so you will have research to see which cities they are in.

You will be the smarter than ANYONE else and you will be able to dominate Aviation Jeopardy.

One glaring omission is the fact that Chicago O'Hare has ZERO new routes. The home of United is basically saying poo poo on you O'Hare.

Local United Lover Mattman64 was unavailable for comment.

AND.....If that wasn't enough, according to Denver International Airport, United is starting daily nonstop service to CDG beginning May 27, 2027.

Happy Tuesday!

Still no glasses and still 107 degrees today LOL. I think it will cool down tomorrow a little? So perhaps a show on Wednesday.

WATCH OUT CHICAGO, DETROIT, TORONTO, BOSTON ETC....I BRING THE HEAT WHEREVER I GO

This is starting to get a little absurd, don't ya think? Forgive me for being a negative Nancy but this is CRAP! LOL.

I don't know if we will be doing a broadcast on Tuesday. I may wait until temperatures cool down to 100 F the latter half of the week 😂.

Just giving you an update.
