South Dakota might have a valid reason. If they are the ones maintaining the road, not the tribes, then within the road right-of-way (ROW), I would think its their call with what goes on in it.

Jump to postI've seen plenty of aviation photos taken with the P900 that are pretty good throughout my Flickr feed. I, however, would recommend the Lumix FZ300 if you're looking for a bridge camera because it supports RAW (the P900 does not), which will let you maximize image quality via post processing. If you...

Its simply two flights to cater to large event being held in San Diego this year. AF staff from LAX will oversee flight handling. They have done similar to Las Vegas in past. Indeed. Flew out of McCarran last January and there was an AF 77W there. There was some sort of convention there, I thought ...
Jump to postAlso found this on Facebook, apparently JL will be increasing capacity by sending the 788 in a different seating layout starting this Summer (206 vs 186 seats).

Jump to post669 is going to MZJ from SAN on Saturday. Possibly the end of the line for it.
Jump to postDL will send the 744 coming in tonight (Friday) to the desert (MZJ) tomorrow (Saturday) morning. It looks like we may get to see the final flight of the 744 that comes tonight.

DL 744 tomorrow (Friday 12/22), should arrive at 1750L.
Charter today: HA8024 SEA-SAN A332 arrives at 1320L. Possibly a charter for Washington State, who is playing Michigan State in the Holiday Bowl on 28 Dec. Watch for more charters from LAN and SEA in the coming days and after the game.
Thanks to the San Diego Spotters on Facebook for the heads up.

Based on what I've seen in and out of SAN and SJC, they seem to be used on any route a WN 738 operates.
Jump to postI was under the impression they were going to start retiring some of the 738 soon because of corrosion issues. I think I read that in a previous thread about the AA Retrojet livery being applied to a newer 738 and taken off the original 738 it was applied on.

Jump to postDon’t you only need a certain amount of exit doors depending on capacity rather than aircraft type? For example Alaska blocks the exits directly aft of the wings on its 737-900ER’s, as they have the same capacity as the -900 “A” models that don’t have those exit doors at all.
