Gallery Update: A Touch of Florida in Provo

In my continuing pursuit of chasing down Airbus A320s operated by Allegiant Air, Provo got a visit from another one (that I haven't photographed until today!) operating the Phoenix-Mesa route. But this time, the airframe was one sporting a special livery! This is my first time catching one of Allegiant's special promotional liveries! In addition the Airbus, I spotted a few other aircraft during this brief spotting outing.

Provo (PVU) 59

Preview:

Allegiant Air Airbus A320-214 (N228NV) "Visit Florida" special on short final for 13 arriving from Phoenix-Mesa as AAY132. My first shot of a special Allegiant livery and my third Allegiant A320 overall!

Platinum Aviation Diamond DA40 (N321PF) on short final for 13 after shooting the ILS 13 approach. My flight instructor is on the plane! And the plane got the Platinum Aviation logo on the tail now too!

Cessna 525 Citation M2 (N480WB) on short final for 13.

Bombardier CL-600-2B16 Challenger 604 (N770BQ) on short final for 13 arriving from Scottsdale.

N228NV back-taxiing on 13 getting ready to return to Phoenix-Mesa as AAY133. Gotta say though, the "Visit Florida" livery is somewhat out of place here in Provo as Allegiant does not have many offerings to fly to Florida from the western half of the country. The airline does however fly to St. Petersburg/Clearwater International from Phoenix on a seasonal basis.

Prior to acquisition by Allegiant, this airframe has an extensive history serving with several European airlines carrying British and later German registrations. Previously flew for Hamburg Airways as D-AHHD.

AAY133 beginning takeoff roll on 13. I got the "Visit Florida" special, now I gotta get Allegiant's "Make A Wish" livery that's on another one of their A320s; but it's still on the east coast as of right now...
