Greetings,
[I'm referring to NYCA "JFK Spotting Map" spotter sites C, D, F, and G.]
My goal is to catch incoming arrivals using JFK 31L and 31R ... if the wind continues from the NW and these runways are active. I would hope for a favorable sun angle here.
Being a non-driver ... I'm thinking of taking the LIRR Far Rockaway Branch from Jamaica to such stops as Cedarhurst ... Lawrence ... Inwood ... and Far Rockaway. My viewing options might include: the LIRR station platforms themselves ... and/or some footwork to more favorable locations. I'll have a pocket edition of the Hagstrom "New York City 5 Borough" street atlas with me. I note also that the Q-113 bus zigzags through the area.
Not sure if all this is doable ... or advisable ... for Tuesday (May 22) in the 10am through 2pm (or so) time slot. I would be travelling solo with hand-held camera gear in an anonymous black bag.
So-o-o ... not knowing this area at all ... suggestions ... precautions ... whatever ... are most welcomed ... soonest?. Thanks.
