Opening of the General Assembly is Tuesday, September 18th. There's a "high-level" event on climate change the following Monday, the 24th, but it's unclear if that's a head-of-government level gathering or not.

Wouldn't spotting around that time be a bad idea?
Since the police be more touchy about spotting, I'd assume.

The next few weeks may be a little more intense with 9/11 anniversary next week (the first one falling on the
actual day, Tuesday) and the UN GA meetings. And now reports that Osama has a new video ready to be
broadcast. And dont forget the Jewish high holidays.

Hmm and not one of those things has to do with spotting...Please stop the paranoia...I'm me just PLEASE STOP!

As EMS said as long as you are doing nothing wrong, not in a place you don't belong you'll be fine. Maybe you'll get quesitoned but that can happen on any given day.

Why not. With security taken up to higher levels the airports and surrounding areas will get
plenty of attention.

Last year when they all showed up for the talk-athon I was just getting in from Dubai, Dispatch messed up the hotel assignments and instead of going to Garden City, we went to Manhattan, we stayed at the Hilton.I would have gone home but the house was being renovated so there was no roof.So after getting settled the four of us go out to search for some food, we're walking along and since I was tired I said I was going to head back to the hotel, so about 3 hours later, the guys come back, we're talking and one of them goes"Oh yea, some famous guy was at our restaurant", so of course I as..."who?", and after looking at each other one says"Abdul...Abdill....no Abdulllah, Oh yea!! King Abdullah" Turns out they were sitting 3 tables away from the King of Jordan.

Also at Newark around 5pm was 3C-EGE BBJ and a USAF Gulfstream.

The biz at TEB normally do not relocate during the week.

Overheard an interesting exchange on Ground Frequency at JFK.

A Jet Blue flight asked what the gray Airbus was (Czech), the controller replied "I'm not allowed to tell you, but if you read the papers you'll figure it out!"

Well I'm to tired to even edit really any of my pics but I have to say what a fantastic day at JFK, tons of VIPs and of course our good friend from Persia showed up. For me the sheer fact that the President of Iran a sworn enemy of our country was on it was very surreal to me.

Great group out today I think at our peak we had 15 or 16 people and 11 cars! Awesome to see so many good friends out enjoying the weather, VIPS, and each other's company. The did Police show up twice, once at Bayswater (NYPD) and the at Firestone (NCPD) but man talk about cool cops! NCPD didn't even get a call they just stopped by to say hi and BS a bit, really great officers, they loved the C5 pics we got. Nice to see we've finally made a connection with local law enforcement. They know who we are and finally know why we enjoy our hobby. All in all one of the best days of spotting for me.

Seconding John, I too send the morning in the shade with Sebastian, then headed in with the family. Really nice photos John!

What a really nice gathering of folks, fun and laughter. It was a pleasure to meet some new people out there and put more names to faces.

And we even saw Brittany Spears 747, which was almost as big a highlight as the
747SP :mrgreen:


Might head out to see POTUS tomorrow in the afternoon but she always comes in on 31L....

The little reject is at the Intercontinental Hotel during his stay. That did not escape fox news.

Was that really necessary? We get your point, you don't like him. Nobody does. So let's stick to the topic.
There is also some good stuff around DC that might be heading your way in the next couple of days. Check it:

IAD:
- Afriqiyah A340-213 (5A-ONE)
- Equatorial Guinea BBJ (3C-EGE) (this might already be at SWF or JFK..)
- French Air Force A310 (F-RADB)
- French Air Force A319 (F-RBFB) (departed to JFK today)

ADW:
- Turkish Gvmt A319 (TC-ANA)
- Brazilian Air Force C130H and E145LR (2467 and 2550 respectively)

I'm stuck on the other side of the country, but I look forward to seeing lots of shots this week - great pics Moose!! :)

Question for you all: is that Firestone spot on the path to 31R? The planes look more side-on (nicer) than from Costco to me.

I saw N777AS parked at MCO yesturday as well. Believe it or not I'm not interested in this plane. Hopefully some of these guys in airline livery will head down to FL lol. Maybe AhmedineJihad will like to see Disney? Iran SP, Turkemenistan and Cameroon 76, Afriqiyah A342, nice!

Really sad that the chilean 707 looks ugly in that gray. It used to have a livery somewhat reminiscent of the old BOAC scheme when I saw it in MIA years ago.

> And the cool motorcades dashing around Manhattan<

So I decided to walk down to the Waldorf after work just to check out the craziness. Around 4:25 from my
building I saw Aviation 12/14 flying south low over the QBB. When I hit the streets I could hear them circling
overhead. I walked up to 3rd Avenue and saw that it was empty and PD had the roadblocks set up down
on 50 Street. POTUS was on the move and so was I. But just as I arrived they opened up 3rd Avenue and
began letting traffic (vehicle and pedestrian) to move. Yet the PD cars used for the roadblock were still parked
and now Aviation 23 (N23FH) the "unmarked" ship was still circling overhead so I figured it was probably just a
delay. #23 flew at 1000 or below and sure enough about 10 minutes later the roadblocks went into place and #23
dropped to almost rooftop level. Minutes later the presidential motorcade swept past heading to the Waldorf.
Working in Manhattan for over 30 years I've seen many a motorcade but not in a long time and it is always a very
cool thing to witness. After they opened the streets I made my way up to Park and 50th street across from the
Waldorf. # 23 was still circling and it was totally crazy with PD and USSS EVERYWHERE!! Organized chaos I guess
you can call it. Finally at 5:10 I saw #23 put his nose down and head toward the river. I put my head up and began
my trek to Penn station. "Move along. Nothing more to see here" LOL!!
BTW there was a military Hummer jeep parked by the church on 50/Park that had a number of antennae coming out of
it including one that was about two stories high and looked like a Xmas ornament on top. Pretty wild looking.

Sorry no camera on hand, it was hazy anyway and I;m a lousy photographer, but anyone know why they're here? Is it because of the big Polish community in Chicago?

I hear the Iranian SP, A Spanish A310 and a couple of others went to Westover (CEF) Ma. Wish I had known that at 9am yesterday, could have made the detour as I need the SP!!

Thanks also to Phil for the heads up text about the Viet Triple! I was getting ready to leave when Phil told me it had just taken off. Thanks also to John at Verizon who suggested a place where I might be able to get a photo!! Not the greatest shot but for the record:

Well, you guys have certainly out done yourselves posting the shots you got on Sunday. What a group. At one time I counted over 20 people hanging in our little corner of the parking lot. I guess the old addage "there is safety in numbers" proved true because we didn't have any problems the entire time we were there. Anyhow, great seeing all the old gang that I know so well and meeting so many new folks that I didn't know at all.

Here's a few of my favs from the day ...

And, of course, the Iranian 747SP ...
http://www.Photovation.net/Uploads/IR_747SP-86_EP-IAD_JFK_20070923_D7261.jpg

I have to credit Mike P. for that Iranian shot. He was just itching to go and see where they parked her so he could get a ground shot. She was parked over on the side of 13L with lots of ramp lice around. We made circle after circle after circle until the ramp lice disappeared and the Sun almost disappeared too. But we got the shot and that is what counts.

>Marine 1 with a similar chopper<

They usually have one to two extra VH-3s to act as decoys. In August of 2006 I was parked along
the GW Parkway by the Potomac and watched 3 VH-3s inbound from Andrews to the White House. Only one
landed. The other two came right to the White House then did a 180 and returned to Andrews.
Most of the time they have CH-53s or CH-47s in the airborne motorcade carrying all the support people when
they do out of town visits.

I hope you don't mind, Phil, but I figured I'd post shots here of aircraft that have not yet been photographed at JFK or EWR. The SWF Daily Report thread can get neglected sometimes. ;)

Nice shots all!

As Moose said, we saw AF1 on Monday. As we waited, I kept an eye on 13L traffic when something caught my eye, WAAAAY above JFK.

Needless to say, I was pretty happy and surprised to see a KC136 (MOOSE!) and a pair of F-15s in formation right above JFK. Never thought I'd see that over the skies at JFK



About 4 Minutes later, in came this guy:

And a C-17 departing after AF1 left.

I hear the Iranian SP, A Spanish A310 and a couple of others went to Westover (CEF) Ma. Wish I had known that at 9am yesterday, could have made the detour as I need the SP!!

Did anyone catch a Brazilian Air Force ERJ Legacy in the UN parade? I saw one landing today at FLL (pictures came out nasty - no editing I think) and was wondering if it was on it's way from NYC or if it was another type of visitor.

Yes the FAC is a disappointment, SO many of the South american Air Forces are painting theor beautiful VIP 707s into that GREY DEATH SCHEME. The latest casualy has been the Columbian 707-300. It looks like like the Chilie now accept a different sliver of color on the tail.
Senga

I remember the chilean 707 having that star on the tail, maybe they just left the rudder painted so it wouldn't be THAT ugly? GREY DEATH SCHEME :lol: on the colombian 707 too? oh no If that's true only two latin VIP 707s still in a cool scheme would be the Paraguayan air force (maybe still in LAP colors) and the LADE ones (if those still fly). Not sure if those ever go to JFK or MIA, I guess they don't.

Well having seen the Polish Tupolev at ORD earlier in the week, I had my second random encounter with UNGA traffic yesterday afternoon while listening to Channel 9 on United back to LaGuardia, I heard "Papa Alpha Lima Zero Zero One" call in which was apparently headed back to Manila via SFO. So if anyone knows the answer, I am curious why they didn't use the callsign "Philippine One," also wonder if the aircraft used is a standard PAL A340 from the regular fleet or a VIP configuration. Exterior shots posted here make it look like a regular aircraft but I know some countries (e.g. Qatar) have VIP aircraft painted in livery of the national airline.

Aside from that, great work on the photos guys, I can tell some of you really went to great lengths to shoot these rare birds and the effort is much appreciated by this non-photographer!

In addition to Cameroon Airlines' presence at JFK, the following visitors also made a visit today:

Qatar Airways A330-200
Turkey Government A319

Hi folks,

Spurred on by the success of Tuesday chasing UN related aircraft, I'm heading out in about 6 hours time to do the same on Sunday.

I see on redoneaviation.com that the Cameroon has gone, and the Phillipine 340 left SWF. Hopefully, there is still enough of interest to make it all worthwhile!

All the best

IIRC the Abu Dhabi BBJs are actually from RoyalJet, a joint venture of Abu Dhabi Amiri Flight and Abu Dhabi Aviation Company and as such, are unique in that they are government aircraft you can actually charter (for enough $$ of course). According to Wikipedia, Royal Jet has the largest fleet of BBJs in the world (5).
