Newburgh, NY Scandinavian - Sas 909 05:54 PM Landed
the worst part for them is they held for well over an hour and a half before diverting and then had to wait 45 minutes for a gate when they finally got to EWR

Seems like whenever an SAS diverts to SWF it is always subjected to long waits. Last August SK909 diverted and had to wait on the ground for 9 hours!

[Matt Molnar]

What was it a tstorm? I didn't realize the weather was so bad, I don't think it even rained in Midtown.

KC-10

Did you get a shot of the KC-10?

How'd you find out it was there? I thought the flight trackers didn't track military

[Iberia A340-600]

My school is located under the arrivals flight path so anything on approach to the airport flies over. That's how I knew about the KC-10 and in the past one of the white C-32s and other special military visitors.

Haha, do you ever pay attention in class?

[SengaB]

LOL! :)
I asked myself that same question one time.
I can see it now.
Gordon??...Gordon?.....GORDON!!!!
HUH?......WHAT?
PAY ATTENTION YOUNG MAN!
If I see you looking outside one more time I will call the airport and tell them to and on another runway during school hours!

[ahazzard1289]

Hey Guys,

This is big news! I was surfing for flights on AA.com and I noticed that Stewart was added again on their route map. I hope this is good news! I am so excited. I will definately fly out of SWF again if they come back! I will monitor this very closely!

~Anthony

[Iberia A340-600]

Sometimes it's hard for the entire class to pay attention when the noise of a C-5 drowns out the teacher! Paying attention is more of an issue for me on the soccer field or the tennis court, always looking up. :)

~Anthony

Are you sure that it was ever taken off?

[ahazzard1289]

It was definately taken off. That is why I am so excited. I wanted to see the closest city to here, and bam, it was added.

~Anthony

[ahazzard1289]

I just read into your previous note, do you play tennis? For what school? I play for Marlboro

[ahazzard1289]

I wonder if it was accidentally put back on

[Iberia A340-600]

I just read into your previous note, do you play tennis? For what school? I play for Marlboro

Oakwood Friends.

[ahazzard1289]

I just got confirmation from AA, and they told me it was an error that they are never coming back.

~Anthony

[SengaB]

EVER!

[ahazzard1289]

I am not sure if that "EVER!" is sarcastic or not. But they will never return. My friend was the supervisor for Eagle and she confirmed the same.

~Anthony

[JetBlueAirwaysFan]

That's a shame, AA was the first carrier at SWF. Maybe they'll pull a Delta and come back two years down the road.

If you recall, Delta halted their SWF service at the end of Summer, 2005 and returned to SWF in the Spring of 2007.
In fact, I think Delta has been in and out of SWF other times as well. Might have been a 9/11 thing.

[ahazzard1289]

As being an American Platinum member and being only 17 years old, all my flights out of SWF would be on American for years. I didn't mind a connection. I would fly them both for business and pleasure trips. A business airline like American cannot charge leisure trips. I flew to Atlanta just before they pulled out connecting in Chicago I paid $234 with American while Delta had nonstop for $228. See what I mean? It definately was the competition. I remember when there was no direct Atlanta service I paid double what I paid this August. I hope they return. I have 4 trips coming up, that I still have to book, but HPN is my only option.

[JetBlueAirwaysFan]

They may, give it time. They (PANYNJ) are trying to expand SWF, and that may have AA crawling back.

[ahazzard1289]

I sure hope so.

[ahazzard1289]

Skybus Had problems the first day, b/c of the jet way. The Jet way was configured to a small American Eagle and hot a A319.

Yeah apparently the A319 was parked too close to the terminal.

I believe these two are diversions:

Shuttle America (Delta or United?) ERJ-170 from HPN, outbound to ATL.
Trans State Airlines ERJ-145 from PVD

[ahazzard1289]

Hi All,

I tried to book a flight on delta.com from SWF-ATL for May 15-17 and I guess they changed the flight information. They will offer 2 flights a day on a CRJ-100 and 1 flight a day on a CRJ-700. Thought I should share this info with you. I booked on the CRJ-700. Should be fun!

~Anthony

~Anthony

Hmm a CRJ-700, nice upgrade. The night I was out shooting the Nimrod I saw the evening flight arrive and I could have sworn it was a -700 but it turned out to be a -200. I'm certainly more motivated to shoot the -700 then the -200.

[ahazzard1289]

We will be losing 1 flight though

[JetBlueAirwaysFan]

DL brings it back to four CRJ-200s after that...I just looked for June 11-18 and it had four CRJ-200s. I'd rather fly on the CR7...guess I'll do HPN.

[ahazzard1289]

Thats weird...

How do you like HPN? I just booked an American flight out of Albany for April.

[JetBlueAirwaysFan]

I've never flown to HPN. This would be my first time. I would prefer SWF, but I hate the CR2, and that is all I can get. AirTran from DAB has me landing at 11:31 PM...No thanks!
FL into HPN has me in at 9, and DL has the E170, but expensive.

[ahazzard1289]

WE NOW HAVE DIRECT TO BOSTON PORTSMOUTH ON SKYBUS!!!!!!!!!!

[JetBlueAirwaysFan]

When will they have Saint Ausutine (Jacksonville/Daytona Beach) to SWF? I am waiting for it.

SWF also lost one flight to both Greensboro and Columbus.
The Portsmouth service is Seasonal.

[Matt Molnar]

WE NOW HAVE DIRECT TO BOSTON PORTSMOUTH ON SKYBUS!!!!!!!!!!
The drive from Portsmouth to Boston is only slightly shorter than driving from Newburgh to Boston. :)

[JetBlueAirwaysFan]

I hear rumors that JetBlue will announce SWF-LAS service in two weeks.

[Iberia A340-600]

As I mentioned in the EWR thread Travolta is back, arrived last night around 11:30 pm.

[moose135]

As I mentioned in the EWR thread Travolta is back, arrived last night around 11:30 pm.
So is it parked someplace that we mortals can view & shoot, or do you need double-secret clearance to see it?

[Iberia A340-600]

Last time Travolta was at SWF it was pretty much permanent for 3 months with the occasional departure here and there. The 707 was always in the same spot which is shootable through a fence. I can only imagine it is parked in the same spot. If you'd like me to I can try and find out where it is parked.

[ahazzard1289]

Dear Jetblue airways fan,
I am not supposed to say anything but Vegas we will get along with another destination served by Jetblue. and it is a good one. And it isnt Florida. I now work at the airport and have loads of cool new info. Like 2 new carriers that may be in the near future starting up. These rumors started because I told one person and that person spread it. Hope you like the news.

Anthony

[Iberia A340-600]

Curious to hear what that other destination is. If it's San Juan I'll definitely by extremely pleased!

[Iberia A340-600]

Just remembered this as I was about to go to sleep.

Today I was outside playing tennis and looked up when I heard a low turboprop and could only assume it was on its way to SWF judging by its low altitude. The aircraft looked like and sounded like a C-130 but only had 2 engines. Was too big to be a Saab-340.

Any ideas on what it might have been?

[moose135]

Maybe a C-27?

Any chance of Delta putting mainline service into SWF?

[Iberia A340-600]

Both Delta Connection and AirTran seem to be doing well with flights to ATL. Presumably due to connections onward from the focus city.

I think Delta is better off sending a couple of CRJ-200s throughout the day rather then sending 1 or 2 737-800 or similar sized aircraft. With the amount of connection traffic it makes more sense to have more flights with smaller capacity spread throughout the day to eliminate and help connection times in ATL.

I only say this because CRJ's are less efficient than the larger jets. If DL had three MD-88s rather than four CRJ's it might make more sense with rising fuel costs.

There's a USA Jet DC-9 inbound from YIP and then outbound to OPF.

An EOS 757-200 from STN touched down about 10 minutes ago. The flight was E07.

[njgtr82]

TwinJet A319 is inbound tonight

[maem01]

And the second JetBlue destination could be San Juan PR as its listed on the website as one of the 4 destinations from SWF. It may just be listed as a connecting flight through Orlando at present as Cancun and San Juan is from HPN but it does not show other connections like Orlando to Austin as a possible flight from HPN so assume these will be direct soon?

[Iberia A340-600]

4/24

I saw a private 727-200 depart from SWF today around 1:50pm and I'm pretty sure it was N31TR, which would make sense considering it is based at SWF. I've actually only seen it at the hangar at the airport and have never seen a flight plan for it on flightaware.

[Iberia A340-600]

A Jet Blue E-190 has been operating one of the flights to MCO today. Arrived and departed and is now on its way back again.

Allegiant MD-83

[ahazzard1289]

Info regarding the Allegiant:

A select 80 people who go to Atlantic City frequently got a mailing asking if they wanted to go to Vegas. Allegiant with the help of Air Tran flew a charter into Newburgh. Allegiant used Gate 3 while here. It was great seeing them. I had to work late because of it. Looking at the monitors we saw the last flight to be Allegiant and going to Bullhead. We thought it was a joke.

Allegiant flight

from Newburgh to Witchita
from Witchita to Bullhead

[Iberia A340-600]

Anthony, have you gotten a chance to look at the Jet Blue E-190 that has been operating the MCO flight? I'm curious if it's the same aircraft constantly rotating.

[ahazzard1289]

Hi Gordon,

I have not seen the E-190 but my good friend works for Jet Blue and I will ask her about it. I will try to take a break today and see the smaller plane. Anything else you would like to know?

Anthony

[ahazzard1289]

Update about E-190:

I talked to an Aramark ramp guy which is who Jet Blue uses for ground crew and said the E190 for Orlando will be permanent and come June 1 the E-190 will be used for the remaining Florida routes.

[Iberia A340-600]

5/15

Just saw a white 757 depart about 10 minutes ago.

Must have been one of the C-32s.

[JetBlueAirwaysFan]

Anthony:
What can you tell me about Delta's future at SWF?

[ahazzard1289]

Hi,

I don't know about Delta. I have actually heard rumors of cut backs. I do know though, that I found out tonight, that Continental is interested in Stewart and WILL be flying by November. I can find out more for you from work. I will be out next week. I leave for Atlanta on Thursday.

[Iberia A340-600]

Hm wonder where Continental would fly to. I'm assuming CLE or IAH and with the Dash-8-Q400.

Anthony, have you seen the white 757 that I'm referring to at all in the past week? I saw her yesterday doing some touch and go's.

[ahazzard1289]

Hi,

I have not seen the white 757, but I have seen a blue-tailed 727 doing touch and goes on my lunch break and parking at the Pacific Aviation Building.

Also,

An Air Tran 737 came in last night from Atlanta, it had only crew onboard, They used the abandoned gate 4 for the flight.

[Iberia A340-600]

That 727 should be N31TR which is based at SWF.

[airliners78495[/airlinersLooks like the Air Tran 737 departed for JFK earlier this morning.

[JetBlueAirwaysFan]

I hope Delta doesn't leave SWF again. I am flying to SWF on June 8, and on Delta. Anthony, you work at SWF right? Will you be working on June 8 or the 17?

[ahazzard1289]

Hi,

Yep I will be there on the 8th as of right now. I usually only work Weekends, and Tuesday's. I work for Hudson News Group. WHat time do you arrive?

Anthony

[JetBlueAirwaysFan]

My plane arrives at 10:50 (DL4725).

Continental 777-200 from PEK

[Matt Molnar]

Some nasty thunderstorms passing LGA and JFK right now, should be almost gone but SWF might see more action.

[ahazzard1289]

From what I hear, this weekend should be big for SWF. West Point will be graduating and the airport will be packed. I was told we have two charter flights going to the terminal. We will see.

[JetBlueAirwaysFan]

Oooh, and I miss it by one week!

Reminder to Anthony that JetBlueAirwaysFan will make his appearance at SWF this Sunday.

[ahazzard1289]

Hi Jetblue Airways Fan,

I am scheduled to work at Quiznos downstairs tomorrow. What time is your flight? I will try to find you, if not, that is where I will be.

Also, to everyone who visits this site, go to : http://www.flyderrie-air.com

[JetBlueAirwaysFan]

10:50 AM DL4725 inbound from ATL.

If it helps, I will be the guy with dark blonde hair, black shorts, black shirt, and velcro sandals.
Also, I won't have much time, as someone is picking me up at SWF. So if you wanted to meet at baggage claim, that's fine.

[ahazzard1289]

I hope your flight is delayed a bit, I dont get to work until 11:30 AM, to punch in at 12 Noon. In anycase, I will try to arrive early.

SWF also had a Southern Air 747-300 divert on its way to JFK at 2:16 in the morning.

The weather in the NYC airports last night was no good at all. European flights were departing from JFK as late as 4:30am!

[ahazzard1289]

Hi All,

The Jet Blue flight to West Palm Beach yesterday was delayed 3 hours and in the last second decided to get a new plane from JFK. This ferry flight did not show up on any tracking website. There was a problem with the fan intake or something.

Also, I will be leaving my job at Hudson group for something bigger and better. I will be taking a job with Northwest and Delta at Stewart. I am in the process of being hired for Customer service/ticket agent/baggage agent/Ramp agent. I am excited. A little drop in pay, but the benefits are all there.

Ciao,
Anthony

[JetBlueAirwaysFan]

I take it NWA provides ground ops for Delta.

[ahazzard1289]

Yep, they do.

[Iberia A340-600]

Haven't been updating this thread much but tonight a Virgin Atlantic A340-600 diverted from EWR, along with normal Continental traffic. An Atlas Air 747-200 is also due in at 2am from Gander.

Nice new avatar their Gordon. I was a little surprised that Trump spent almost two weeks at SWF in October and no photo's. BTW nice shots of the latest visitors.

Thanks, Ron.

According to Chris102 Trump was up at SWF for some routine maintenance work and spent most of the time in a hangar.

Travolta's 707 (N707JT) should be departing any minute now now for IAD. Arrival shots to come shortly (hopefully). :D

Delta airlines to pull SWF service March 1, 2009. Just found out today.

Continental to begin service April 1, 2009 to Las Vegas, Houston, and Orlando.

[Iberia A340-600]

Interesting route choices by Continental. I don't see any of them working unfortunately.

[JetBlueAirwaysFan]

I had a feeling it was a matter of time after AirTran left that Delta would do the same.

Delta Airlines has in fact discontinued reservations between Atlanta and Newburgh, NY. Delta Airlines Subsidiary Northwest Airlink will continue to operate daily service between Newburgh, NY and Detroit.

[ahazzard1289]

We were all informed NW Airlink is pulling as well. At the very least Northwests' contracts are up Jan. 1st and another contractor wants to bid on it. 15 jobs may be lost here. With the contract change, they CAN NOT transfer to the nw contractor. It is sad, because Pinnacle does not operate out of any other smaller airport in NY. Mesaba has grown and even took over HPN! Maybe if Mesaba comes, we will get flights to Minneapolis, which woul be great.

[Iberia A340-600]

Wow... That only leaves US Airways Express and Jet Blue!

Hopefully Continental will have some success at the airport and this leaves plenty of room for Jet Blue to expand if they feel it will be profitable.

[JetBlueAirwaysFan]

I have seen no indication to confirm ahazzard's news regarding Continental Airlines launching daily SWF service. I will look further, however, into Northwest's alleged pullout.

[Gerard]

Anyone up at Newburgh today? Read that AF One flew in and Bush headed out to West Point this morning.

[JetBlueAirwaysFan]

There is also no indication according to nwa.com's reservations system and APGDat that they are pulling out of Newburgh anytime soon.

[ahazzard1289]

Dear JetBlueAirways Fan,

I shouldnt have to have my news confirmed, nor do I want it to be. I do know that CO is coming in. Gates 3 and 4 are prepped for them. Co will be using 737's for their 3 routes. They are slated to begin in April. I work for one of the airlines there presently and this is what WE know. We have seen Co's ramp crews out there getting everything set. Fresh paint, and raised jetways are evident.

Enjoy the day,

Anthony

Icelandair Cargo 757-200 from KEF

[JetBlueAirwaysFan]

Delta has actually rescinded their pull out from SWF. Instead, they will cut back to one daily flight between Newburgh, NY and Atlanta, GA.

[Iberia A340-600]

Apparently Delta will not be discontinuing flights to SWF and was never planning on it.

12/17

Kuwait A320 from LTN

[ahazzard1289]

Yes, Delta took back their decision to discontinue flights. They will remain at 1. Their original decision was to pull out entirely.

[JetBlueAirwaysFan]

Is NW still planning on staying?

[ahazzard1289]

Yes

Sunday's storms hit around 6:30pm, a little bit late to affect the flights from Europe. Today's were right in the middle of transatlantic rush hour.

[Iberia A340-600]

Second SAS A330-300 this week, this time from ARN.

Lufthansa 747-400 from FRA, destined for EWR.

Cancidas, I haven't been in the area much this week but I'll certainly keep my eye out for her.

A (non-spotter) friend who lives within two minutes informed me that "a big white jumbo jet just flew out of Stewart!". Also reported on FlightAware was SAS903 (A333) en route to EWR from Arlanda.

On July 2nd there were 3 CO flights diverted from EWR to SWF, including a 777-2 and two 737-8's. On a leisurely stop after lunch, I was pleasantly surprised to catch these as well as the usual JBU563 among others.

I live ten minutes away from SWF and didn't realize there was a daily report thread. Anyone who is interested in a meet up (although spots are limited) send me a PM!

[cancidas]

i've only seen the flight plans go through SWF twice. flightaware emails me the flight plans as they go in. if you have the same possibility i suggest doing it. for a rare airplane that's based out of LAX this is a long way from home.

Its been showing up a a UH-60 on flightaware

[Iberia A340-600]

According to Flightaware she's back in LA. I noticed the flight the other day when I was on Flightaware and kind of wondered what it was, shame I didn't investigate more!

An all white MD-80 arrived around 2:05pm this afternoon. I figure the aircraft is probably an ex-Alaska Air operating a prisoner transfer flight.

[mattyry38]

10/09 - While cruising by the Friday setup for the WWII aircraft showcase around 3pm, Delta 738 in wavy gravy colors was parked adjacent to the "main" tarmac entrance in the back. No activity, at a standstill. For those interested the WWII showcase had a B-17G and B-24J on display and tour, with a C130 also included for kicks.

10/12 - Waiting for parents arrival from ATL when N889NC, a BBJ owned (according to Flightaware) by Wells Fargo Bank Northwest NA Trustee, touches down at 1515. Seems this one has been far and wide from ZRH to PEK.

That's actually News Corp's plane, I guess Wells Fargo holds the loan. I know Rupert Murdoch was in Beijing this past week, maybe he was returning from there.

[Laxgoaly]

I recently moved up here (just across the river from SWF) and was wondering, no new news for this airport recently? :?:

[Iberia A340-600]

There has not been any significant movements at the airport in the past few months (that I am aware of) but there has been a few ATI DC-8 horse charters and yesterday a Southwest 737-700 and Miami Air 737-400 charter.

[Laxgoaly]

12/28/09 approx 4:55pm driving home on I-84 I saw an all white B747-400 departing SWF in a very steep departure climb... looked it up on flight aware, no B747 listed, anyone have any info?

[hiss srq]

Its the UAE's 744.

[Laxgoaly]

Ahhhh from I-84 I saw what looked like a green white and red flag on the vertical stabilizer, I guess I wasnt wrong after all! Any idea why it was in town?

[hiss srq]

It's an annual trip for those boys. I'm not sure why but it is. Maybe shopping in the "cheap" United States?

[Iberia A340-600]

2/15

If anyone is interested, there is a Ryan 767 due in around 2:00pm from RFD. There should also be the State of Kuwait A320, 9K-AKD, parked somewhere since I haven't seen it leave on Flightaware. It arrived from YVR a few days ago.

[mattyry38]

Stopped by around 1410L and saw N763BK gliding by the Budget lot & eventually parked/loaded up near the VIP area. Saw several coach buses drop off passengers (assuming cadets?) and taxied via charlie-foxtrot and along 16/34 before cutting off a US RJ with about a 1735L departure.

N407GC, a Gulf IV owned by General Electric arrived from the Bahamas & departed within 40 minutes for KILG, parking near Ryan.

Also 9K-AKD parked adjacent to the Richmor Aviation building with caps on. Not sure how long it's been there.

Somewhat poor quality - merely a 18-55mm and nothing else, but it was good to stop by; chatted with Esther, the 82-year old SWF junkie who (nearly) spots/sits with her lunch on a daily basis at the base of Perimeter Road. I befriended her circa UNGA week, so if you see a little old lady in a silver Camry she's quite the company (in addition to keeping tabs on plane visitors).

[Iberia A340-600]

Glad you were able to catch the Ryan! It departed to some very random destination in Norway that I have never heard of before.

I was contemplating going out to photograph the arrival, however I'm glad I didn't since the clouds came in and the scheme is pretty bland. I was hoping it would be one of the ex-Delta or ex-Aeromexico birds.

[mattyry38]

Seems like we have another visitor - an An-124 landed at 1607L on St. Patty's day from TLS as (Polet) POT2011. Anyone have any knowledgeable guesses? Seems like we haven't had any Russian birds up here for quite some time now. May try to stop by later with this awesome light.

[SengaB]

Maybe you will have better weather than I did with the Polet AN-124. I always get crappy weather.
I did get a nose wheel landing :) Shot it in 2004 at SWF.

Some tidbits from KSWF -

March 12/13th (aka the Redwood diversion debacle):
Sunday morning, caught N239JB which was among the last of several diversions to depart following the monsoon.

Saturday April 10th:
Some C130A activity, 3 departures within 20 minutes

This came out of right field, as I was getting ready to pack up around 1530L, N311AG - blocked by Gordon P. Getty on FlightAware - came cruising out back from the VIP area and promptly departed (mind the quality, again only with 55mm!). The burgundy pattern on the tail is a little hard to make out, but it's kinda cool up close.

that C-130 doesn't look like an "A" model. in fact, i doubt any are still flying within the US military. hard to tell from the small pic but it looks like a USMC "R", "T", or "J" model.

Per Scramble, from the tail code (NY-3311) it is a KC-130T, BuNo 163311 assigned to VMGR-452 (http://www.marforres.usmc.mil/4thMAW/MAG49/vmgr452/). They are a Marine Reserve refueling unit, stationed at Stewart, not visitors.
