FlightAware is showing PTI369 a Privatair 767 due in JFK at 149pm.

Not sure if it's UN related or not!

Not sure if it's UN related or not!

I believe it is since it should be heading up to SWF afterwards. There is also a private 737-800 coming in from EWR.

[markg]

Italian AF Falcon arrived JFK 1120am.
Did anyone get the serial?

[ahazzard1289]

Hey Guys,

At work today I saw a purple 757 with 4 squares on the tail. I thought it was kind of cool. And yes, the 767 is for the UN. I talked to a Gat representative( the new JetBlue ramp company) and she said it was for them.

[MarkLawrence]

If anyone can catch ZS-NAN - the South African Falcon 900 - I'd love to see the pictures - I have a good friend who used to be the F/E on that!

The reason they aren't bringing in ZS-RSA - President Mbeki quit today under a huge amount of pressure - the Foreign Minister is coming over - ZS-RSA is strictly the Presidential aircraft. ICYWTK...

[Tom_Turner]

Italian AF Falcon arrived JFK 1120am.
Did anyone get the serial?

I'm going to try to check it Mark, but it seemed to have the French Air Force cheat lines on it.

Thanks for the information, Tamon. At first I didn't see that the times were UTC and kind of flipped out because everything was coming so late!

Tamon,

Thanks on behalf of all of us here in NY for the continued updates.

It's making our lives a lot easier in being there at the right time whenever possible!

Mark

[lijk604]

Agreed, Thanks for the heads up Tamon.
Its too bad, our friend from Iran dissapointed us.
Unless he came shortly after 6:00 when I left, he was a no-show today.
I know that's not your fault Tamon, I was just saying, that was one I was looking forward to catching.

[moose135]

Beautiful weather today, and a great crowd. The runway changes kept us on our toes, although the arrivals were a bit lighter than last year - hopefully we'll get a bunch Monday. Here are some of my highlights:

Tamon, thanks for the updates on the arrivals!

[njgtr82]

Nice shots Moose, I'm about to look through mine now. I swung by EWR on my way home and there was a few Mexican biz jets along with the MD-80 Tamon mentioned. I just check the trackers and MAF2 is enroute which is a Mexican Air Force G3.

[AirtrafficController]

Great set Moose. It looks like I missed Comlux as I was waiting at the bus stop. Here are my set for UN week. Thanks to Tamon for the info.

Great shots guys! Of course I am very jealous, as is the case every September. Did the Iran Air SP show up?

Greets,

[mirrodie]

NIce shots all.


Sorry, I was on the road, about to head in and I just didn't feel up to it. I was troubleshooting some new wiring installation that I put it.

So after driving toward JFK for 5 minutes , I turned around and went home. I guess I just didnt have it in me to leave the job unfinished.


I look forward to the catches I missed.
Thanks all.

[Dazed767]

I was grabbing a bite to eat in the terminal around 19:45 when I saw the Iran tail taxing.

[Delta777LR]

Damn, I wish i would have came out there.... great shots moose

The MEA A-330 has moved to SWF. It arrived at 19:08 EST on Sept 21st.

[markg]

What else is at SWF?

Anyone know if the Congo 707 or Nigerian BBJ are going there?

Presumably the Russians and Ukrainian AF will go to Andrews and the Germans to Dulles?

[Vidiot]

It was great for this newbie to meet a few other spotters today who I'd previously only known as their handles here.

And a good 35-40 minutes after she landed, I was on the A train heading to work in Manhattan. I looked out the window while we were between Broad Channel and Howard Beach, and saw 28000 over on (I think) Quebec:

Iran president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad will speak at the UN tomorrow, so I would expect his Iran Air 74 will be arriving tomorrow morning

[Iberia A340-600]

Iran president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad will speak at the UN tomorrow, so I would expect his Iran Air 74 will be arriving tomorrow morning

It arrived last night.

In terms of SWF I know the Privatair 767-300, Kuwait A310, MEA A330-200, and a private BBJ are there. It'd be great if Congo came up!

Turkish A319 is parked at FRG (Sheltair) again.
Does anyone know if they are doing the TSA checks at FRG for helicopters entering the TFR like they did last year?

I'll add more to the list when I find some more. Maybe in 3-4 hours the flightplans will be there.

[njgtr82]

Not 100% sure its UN related but a Venezeulan Falcon came in to EWR this morning

[njgtr82]

AIC1 a 747 is enroute JFK
http://flightaware.com/live/flight/AIC1

[Speedbird1]

Thanks for sharing these photos. I wish I could have got out there but I have no car and the last time I took a cab, they changed runways so I got stranded on Rockaway Blvd. I went out Sunday instead to Yankee Stadium where the public was supposed to be given a free tour. It turned-out that only ticket-holders for the last game were admitted. What a bummer. I got a great t-shirt though. Have any British VIP aircraft landed? No mention is made of any British flight. Did you guys know that Iran Air used to have a daily flight using a Boeing 747-SP from Tehran? It stopped flying to JFK about the same time that the Concordes started coming so I never saw one in person. The only SPs I remember here at JFK were RAM, South Africa, Saudia, UAL, TWA, PAA and AAL. My boss flew on an SP and kept raving about the service. Please be on the look-out for an IL-96, flight SDM 9005 which might come to JFK. Good spotting!

[lijk604]

Turkish A319 is parked at FRG (Sheltair) again.
Does anyone know if they are doing the TSA checks at FRG for helicopters entering the TFR like they did last year?

Yes they are:
FDC NOTAM 8/8728 has been issued for the New York City area for 09/22-24/08.

An 7NM TFR centered on the LGA259005.8 prohibits GA operations at La Guardia (LGA) from 0900L(1300z) on 09/22/08 until 1700L(2100z) on 09/24/08.

There is a cut-out from the Inner Core for TEB access during the TFR.
Please make sure your crews are aware of their proximity to the TFR area.

Also Helicopter operations arriving and departing the 30th Street Heliport (JRA), East 34th Street Heliport (6N5) and Downtown Manhattan-Wall Street Heliport (JRB) will have to be TSA screened.
Gateway airports have been created at REPUBLIC AIRPORT, NY (FRG) AND LINDEN AIRPORT, NJ (LDJ) BY FAA, TSA AND USSS to accommodate helicopters arriving and departing JRA, JRB, 6N5. TSA screening will be available at these locations from 0700L(1100z) until 1959L(2359z) daily.

[mirrodie]

Eric posts the IL-62 so stealthily.

I love it!


Ahh.. a few more hours and we'll be taxiing through some of these wonderful a/c today.

Anyone know if the FlAAgship lounge has decent views?

[Mayi757]

Would've loved to have seen the Ukraine, Iran and especially the Congo 707 -did it come in?

It also would be fun to hang out with some of you again, maybe next time. I know I haven't posted here since um, last year? excuse my anti-social behavior :mrgreen:

Not to be too premature, but when can we expect departures and would they be spread out over the course of a few days?

I'm sorry I missed this passed weekend. But I won't go into that. :oops:

Was at JRB first but we closed it up for a movement. As I get on the FDR, the Chinook came in. Then went to 6N5 in time to catch the POTUS come around to go down the FDR then to JRA which was busy. Yes, they are just inside the gate.

If the aircraft parks at Terminal B, do the VIPs go through the terminal or right out onto the tarmac and into transport cars?

[markg]

If the aircraft parks at Terminal B, do the VIPs go through the terminal or right out onto the tarmac and into transport cars?

From what I've seen at EWR and JFK last weekend, visitors arriving on scheduled flights go through the terminal on the departures level where limos and PAPD/Secret Service etc are waiting.

What time did the Polska 154 come in? I could have sworn it came right over my office in Princeton, on a west-east heading.

I've seen a little of both, some went through the terminals(when I flew in Sat night the Burkina Faso gov't was in the Diplomatic Visa line that was set up in the terminal with the rest of customs, but then today I think they cleared on the plane. They sat on the plane for a good 10 mins or so before exiting the jetway stairs to some waiting limos. My exif data says 2:51pm for the arrival and it was on the 4's so it was very possible you saw them.

Bill

[Mayi757]

so no 707s this year? or still the chance one of those, including different aircraft will show up to pick up the Vips?

Some JFK Departures (STD=Scheduled Departure), UTC Times

The French Planes left already, but for the logs...

STD 01:15 French Air Force A319 F-RBFB

STD 17:15 Ukraine Air Force IL62 UR-86528

[Iberia A340-600]

I'm very surprised that we don't see the A340-200 utilized much from the French Air Force. Apparently Sarkozy likes to fly commercially any chance he can get. His entourage follow in the A319 or Falcon normally.

As Phil mentioned, I'd like to point out Ms. Carla Bruni flew in with Sarkozy.

@ Iberia A340-600 : The two A340s are equipped with normal pax seats and are regulary used out of CDG for "regular" pax flights for the military. Similar to the "Reach" missions the US Airlines fly for the US Military.

It was a weekend full of surprises and some bad misses ( due to ever so repositioning to activ :x ) but overall did manage to get a good mix.

Upon leaving JFK by bus evening of the 23rd, I saw the Spanish AF A310 but behind it next to the small curved roof hangar was a C-130...possibly a stretched C-130J. Anyone know the identity of this?

Thanks!
Colin.

Colin, that was probably one of the support aircraft for President Bush's visit. I got a photo of one departing Wednesday afternoon.

Burkina Faso is back at EWR from CEF, departing to the Azores later

Raj, that Qatar shot is GORGEOUS. Doesn't look like JFK light. Good work.

As Senga posted in the recap thread, The Russian IL-96 came back and a Brazil AF Legacy departed this afternoon from JFK

Colin, that was probably one of the support aircraft for President Bush's visit. I got a photo of one departing Wednesday afternoon.


Thanks!! Anyone able to tell me which aircraft I saw? Probably my first C130J sighting, if indeed that is what I saw.
