Though we rarely heard planes before, despite being close to the airport, it wasn’t because they weren’t there. Now we rarely hear planes because planes are rare. Last couple mornings I’ve heard them, gotten curious, and seen some interesting patterns on flightradar24.
Here a flight that has already circled overflew the airport and circled some more off our coast.
I guess because of this flight in from Paraguay, which also had to circle, presumably for the plane already on the ground.
And then the plane circling offshore has to wait for an incoming flight from Madrid.
And finally gets back on final approach.
And so this morning:
More circling, this time to allow a flight from Panama, seriously behind schedule, land.
Wheee! Why do you do this? I hear you ask. Well, it’s more interesting than cutting the lawn in sweltering heat, for one thing….
