G-20 Summit in Pittsburgh

Anyone able to recognize any of the dignitaries’ planes coming in? A lot of them are probably blocked…

I found the Indonesian representative:

And maybe the Russian:

here is another one.

I think this is Japan’s plane

Wherever JAF1 is, JAF2 isn’t far behind

flightaware.com/live/flight/MAF1 - Mexico

flightaware.com/live/flight/VIR9974 - possibly UK

flightaware.com/live/flight/AIC1 - India?

flightaware.com/live/flight/CCA19 - maybe a cargo support plane as it went from IAD to JFK to PIT

It’s busy at KPIT!

Do ya usually get a 744, or is it rare to see one there?

I wish I was there. Good photo ops. Though you probably can’t get anywhere near the place.

Based solely on the list of recent arrivals sorted by AC type, I’d say it’s pretty rare. All the recent 747 arrivals are for the G-20, so at least there are no regularly scheduled 747 flights.

Beijing to JFK? Jesus Christ! Any reason why China and Japan went to JFK and then skipped around then went on to Pittsburgh? I mean, they did pass the place going up to JFK eh? Better beer?

The UN meeting was in NY prior to the G20.

Also, I’m not aware of any of the standard flights in/out of KPIT being 747. It’s a shame. KPIT is a really nice airport with new facilities, but was really hurt when US Airways started pulling their operations out. When most east coast airports close for snow, PIT is often still open.

Here is the list I compiled of G20 aircraft at KPIT and KAGC:
