Phoenix-Mesa Gateway 07-03-2022

Post by LifelinerOne »

Hi!

After my meetings, I decided to have a look at Phoenix-Mesa Gateway. Left from the terminal is a field with a grass mound and some benches from where you can see all activities on the runway and general aviation parking spot.

Mesa-Gateway isn’t the busiest of airports but it is a base for Allegiant, so a good opportunity to catch a few of them. The airport is also frequently a stop for military traffic and I just missed a C-17 and two T-38s which were at Mesa for a lunch break and stayed on the ground for four hours.

Here are a few pictures:

1. Mesa Gateway also features some executive aviation traffic, like this Legacy 450 N427FX:

2. You gotta love the background, making a picture of a regular Allegiant A320 like this N290NV a bit more interesting:

3. There’s not much international traffic at Mesa but Swoop, the LCC-subsidiary of WestJet is an exception, seen here with B737-800 C-GYSD:

4. Nice little Canadian Beech C-GNAG:

5. And I end this set with this Cessna 525C CJ4 N679TC:
