While taxiing for 22R yesterday I spotted the Air Force 737-700, I thought it was the 757-200 from behind (yeah I know bad mix up but it was raining and dark).

Austrian also brought in the Lauda 767-300 yesterday and Max Jet's flight to STN was the new hybrid bird.

Probably, or maybe a business class passenger had too much of the free and liberally served Jerez...I just noticed it because I had a look at Flightaware for JFK this evening and saw Iberia inbound from BOS, which is certainly not normal - But nice treat for any Logan spotters who were around today

You probably saw the US/HP Retro 319. The Piedmont one is an East aircraft and does not serve JFK (yet). The Allegheny 319 (N745VJ) has made one JFK visit over the Summer replacing a broken West 319 it ferried PHL-JFK then operated live JFK-PHX.

hi,

Well, what you see here in this thread are usually things that have already happened. The ones that I post are those that I've noticed already at the airport with my own eyes.

Otherwise, some people just have access to information that either the general public doesn't have access to, or maybe some of the flight trackers (flytecomm.com, red1aviation.com, flightaware.com) offer insight on various equipment substitutions.

Mateo
2006-12-23, 11:22 AM
The El Al 762 arrived as LY21, which seems to be just a extra section number. The most recent operations of LY21 have been on June 15, 19, and 20, which is right when all the summer youth tours are departing to Israel, and El Al needs every seat they can scrounge up. The 762 should still be there, since it arrived at 1210p, so it's stuck for Shabbat.

UPDATE: There's a huge Birthright contingent going out tonight and tomorrow. The outbound flight is LY32, which is also an extra section number, operating most recently around the holidays in September and October. The Prime Minister's flight is usually LY33.

According to Wikipedia, Finnair's 757's are for charter only. I was actually on my way back from the terminal at 7:45 when I saw the Finnair tail and winglets. I grabbed my camera out of my car and ran back to get some pictures. I was amazed to see it there, because their MD-11's are normally well into the pm when they arrive and leave.

The 757-200 was operating the regular HEL-JFK-HEL flight Finnair 5/6. I believe the 757-200's were used for charters only in the past but now I believe they are used on some scheduled flights.

No idea why it replaced the MD-11.

SP-LPB
2007-01-23, 12:19 AM
What a catch Stephen!

Finnair used/uses 752's on HEL-BOS-HEL and on HEL-YYZ-HEL routes, which are seasonal regular flights.

Iberia A340-600
2007-01-23, 08:02 AM
Alright I figured out why it was used. Due to engine troubles with the MD-11 they used a 757-200 instead and because the same crew flew the plane back they needed a 14 hour layover.

Yes, its an A319. N837AW is the regi. Here's a recent shot from PHX...as I have stated before, I think it looks rather cartoonish, but I'd rather have this than nothing.

I think its going to be the Q400 when Co Ex gets them...we don't have ant Continental Connection flts at JFK anymore...we did have some running upstate stuff a few years ago, to Elmira,SYR etc...but I think they moved them to LGA or canceled them outright.

First I have heard of this. I thought LH410/411 to and from MUC was the only A340-600 upgrade we would see this summer. According to the scheds LH401 will remain a 747-400.

Air France 004 was Canx today and will operate tomorrow with an ETA of 1310L into JFK (A330). Also has anyone caught a shot of the Song A/C sporting a Delta #1 engine?

I saw a Song a/c with a Delta #2 engine at MCO last March. Mixed engines aren't that uncommon, especially when Delta has multiple paint schemes.

thunderstorm rolled in ,wind shear to almost 40 knots, plenty of go-arounds

I don't think 40 knots winds count as an aircraft visitor. :-p

2007-05-16, 04:54 PM
Either do thunderstorms, wind shear or go arounds. However a Saudi 747SP that came in during a thunderstorm, 40 knot wind shear, that went around would count as vistor, lol

Ouch 40 knots! If I had PIREPS of 40 plus and minus I am pretty sure I would be looking for someplace to go without 40 +- to land for the time being.

It could very well have been the Freedom ERJ that is floating about but certainly not Expressjets because that is LAX based and runs day trips aroun the west.

its parked behind it.. you might be able to see if from the road if you can see behind the NA 75!

Well since NAA has a really sporadic schedule for the next few weeks, and a few A/C will be OTG in JFK for an extended period I get that 4am phone call from the IAT requesting that we move our A/C to other areas. Then the Port assigns Hangar 4, Bldg 260, or over near Hangar 7. Then it is like pulling teeth to try and get those damn GSRs to help out with the transition.....

What was the reason for Air India's 777 to go EWR-JFK?

AirtrafficController
2007-06-03, 10:08 AM
I couldn't find any info on why Air India 144landed there but we do know it was headed to CDG and currently now, its heading there. Must of been some sick passenger or minor cause as it didnt make the news.

2007-06-03, 07:46 PM
No it came into EWR on time and the weather was fine. Only thing I can think of is did Air India cancel any of their flights to JFK in the last few days? Maybe to pick up some stranded pax? The EWR flight routes through CDG so its not a surprise to see that is where it departed to from JFK.

I'm wondering if these flights are to perhaps get the Air India JFK ground crew familiar with the 777 since, apparently, come August the 777-200LR will be introduced on nonstop flights to JFK from India.

Haha, that would be some expensive training. I would think they might try to work a deal with other carriers or just bring them to EWR?

Gordan may have a good point here, they might want some real life testing of the aircraft at JFK.
