N806MD is an Embraer EMB-170 on Taxiway Hotel headed for the gate at 1043 hrs. “Pace 176” was likely a military charter job.

Hope you enjoyed the updated look at the aircraft operating from MHT. In my continuing research on this airport I am always looking for more information.
In particular I am looking for airline and military photos taken at Manchester, NH from 1945-1985.
