JFK Spotting 2/16/08

[brontis5]

Hello,

Anyone into meeting up on Saturday for some spotting out at JFK? The forecast is calling for mostly sunny skies. It is supposed to be cold and windy, but sunny. I am planning on going out around noon or so, hopefully to Firestone if they are using 31R.

Later,

Brian

I will be out early to test out my repaired Lens before my Trip.

If you're there around 9:15, could you get a shot of my departing flight? I'm on DL 5506 from JFK to BOS...CR-9! :wink:

Not sure if anyone will be shooting departures tomorrow afternoon, but if you're out and happen to get a shot of DL147 departing to ATL at around 4:30, I'll be on her (in biz class!)

Got out for a little while today - got to Firestone around Noon, of course, I missed Jet Airways again :(
Spent a little time then went off to take care of a few things before heading back. Found Mike (Bellucciman) at Firestone and did some shooting with him.

Haven't caught this one in a while.

Another Firestone Bank Shot...the RJ before him made some S-turns for spacing, causing this guy to go around.

I keep getting the EK 777, first time I've seen the A340 in a while.

Moose, nice shots. I was out at Firestone also in the afternoon, I did not see anyone else out there. Where were you? Here are some quick edits of my favorite shots of the day. Moose maybe next time I will run into you. Later, Brian

Moose you're having as much luck with Jet Airways as I had with Cathay and the A340-600! :)

[moose135]

Nice shots, Brian. Sorry we missed you - Mike and I were down right next to the Firestone building. I usually don't park that far down, but that's where I found him when I got there.

[adam613]

You guys were clearly out there at the same time...you both got the KLM MD-11 and the Emirates A340, and those are definitely once-a-day visitors :)

Moose, I'm surprised about the Air Jamaica A340...I thought they stopped sending those to JFK...

Good shots, both of you...

[Bellucciman]

My first time out since October! It was great hanging out with Moose, definitely been a long time!

Here are a few quick edits, I still have a lot to go through and post.
