Probably the most precious catch among Venezuelan carriers, somehow main aim of this Latin American trip, is this MD-83 operated by Venezolana. As it is not visible on FR24 and operates really unregularly, it flew over my head around noon when I already gave up my waiting at the seaside near the airport. Luckily later, during an apron visit, it was still parked there in its full beauty and they even removed the stairs for us :-)
Many people left Venezuela for work abroad due to poverty. One of such countries is also the Dominican Republic, visited thanks to a large Venezuelan workers community by many local airlines, among them Laser Airlines.
The majority of flights at Detroit - Willow Run Airport are operated in early morning or late evening hours. To catch some aircraft in the air is a matter of luck or good information sources. I succeeded at least in the case of this red coloured MD-83SF of Aeronaves TSM, although in not the sunniest weather.
Traffic at Detroit - Willow Run Airport is very variable. While on my first day with beautiful clear skies there were no aircraft operated by Mexican airline Aeronaves TSM, I had to come back on the second day despite the clouds, as I could not resist right four DC-9s and MD-80s plus one Swearingen Metro.
