JFK August 11th Recap - Finally Some Good Weather!

[Iberia A340-600]

After dropping nwafan20 off at ISP we continued onto my Aunt's and Uncle's and had lunch with them out in North Hampton and then headed back towards Poughkeepsie around 4:00pm with a stop at JFK. The weather was finally great this week and just as I got to the airport they switched from 31's to 13/22 which upset me but nonetheless I spotted from Cargo Plaza.

Please enjoy and comments are welcome!

I have started trying out my artsy shots again. 8)

Wow, Gordon. Very nice. What mm and lens were you using on those side-ons? I LOVED the fish effect on the wings.

Looks like I will be headed there today or at the mounds. NIce pics

Thanks Phil and Luke.

Phil, I was using a 24-120mm lens for the side on shots.

Yesterday the A340-600s seemed to be sent to 13L for departure so at some point I had both G-VWEB and EC-IOB holding short for 13L. It was great to see EC-JPU come soaring in right next to EC-IOB.

I would have killed to be next to those beauties, the light was so gorgeous!

Something else interesting was that just after TAM A330-200 had touched down the Lufthansa 747-400 came roaring over head and touched down but then went straight back up and performed a go around because the TAM had not finished slowing down!

Wow Gordon! Nice shots! As soon as I leave the weather gets great, unfair! :)

Matt, you had really unfortuant timing, while I was not out shooting yesterday, it was probably one of the best days (if not the best) for shooting this summer. Hope you had a good time anyway ?
