About

My name is Mike Hillwig and I live in Salem, MA with my pug, Reggie. I'm a DBA (database administrator) with a high tech company. Originally from the Pittsburgh area, I moved to Providence in December 2004 and then to Boston in November 2005. March of 2008 brought me to Salem on the Massachusetts north shore.

What else do you want to know? I'm an aviation geek, a foodie, have some tattoos and live with Multiple Sclerosis. This year, I'm in my first season singing Baritone with the Boston Gay Men's Chorus. If there is anything else you'd like to know, just ask. I'm hardly shy.

Kelly’s Landing

I went to a little spot in Boston today known as Kelly’s Landing to take some pictures of the incoming airplanes.  It was cold, cloudy, and miserable. Most of the shots I took were crap. These were some of the better ones I took today, and they’re still crap.

If there were any decent pictures today, it would be one of these two.

I think the US Airways A319 is probably my favorite of the two. You can make out the tail number on it, N760US.  Although the Delta/Song Boeing 757 isn’t a bad shot, either. I just couldn’t make out the tail number on it.  Oh, who am I kidding? In this lighting, they’re all crap.

  1. Hi Mike, I have a question for you, the other day we were visiting a friend of mine who lives in Winthrop, we came upon the perfect spot to watch the planes land, but now I’m afraid I won’t be able to find it again, and I’m wondering if you know the name of the place , if it even has a name, there is a fenced in playground area, a basket ball court, a ballfield, and it’s right on the waterfront across from the airport, I wondered if you knew where this was, the name of the park, or the street it’s on so I can mapquest it, I’d love to bring my kids there again to see the planes, they were SO close, they went right over our heads.

  2. I’m afraid I don’t know. I’ve never been to that spot in Winthrop, but I hear it’s near the giant Madonna statue.
