I had some time to kill one afternoon on my most recent trip to Seattle, so I decided to head down to SeaTac to do some spotting—and I was well rewarded. I found a great spot near the north end of the runways which gave me a perfect view of aircraft taking off to the north, including several widebodies (British Airways & Virgin Atlantic 7879s, Emirates & Qatar 777300ERs, a Delta A330300, and a Prime Air 767300ER freighter) and special liveries (Icelandair’s “Vatnajökull” 757200, Alaska oneworld & UNCF 737s, a Delta SkyTeam 737, and Horizon Air Retro & UW Q400s).

Seattle was experiencing a heatwave at the time, so it was unusually hot and sunny that day, but that just meant better lighting and lowerflying planes, so I wasn’t bothered at all—I’m also pretty used to the heat from all my time spotting in Salt Lake City.

I hoped to see a Condor A330, as well, but it had an emergency diversion to Reykjavik on its way from Frankfurt and the return flight was cancelled. I also waited around to try and see a Turkish 7879 and Air France 777200ER, but those flights kept getting delayed, and it was getting to be dinner time, so I called it a day.
