Me and Art Brett met up today at Bayswater to catch some 4s action. The light was great for the arrivals but our best friend was our enemy as we were battling heat haze on 4L departures. Oh well. Anyway I caught some new aircraft for my collection. Thanks to Art for the ride to the subway station.

Good Morning!

Luke,

It's amazing. (Nice to meet you by the way!) We stood next to each other for several hours and your recollection of what happened is totally different from mine. I was there before you and you left with me, but in your record of what we saw you failed to really mention what we saw :( So I'm adding a few of my pics to your thread to give an accurate picture of what we really saw ...

Enjoy.

We saw Blue Monday ...

We saw Viva La Blue ....

We saw If You Can Read This You're Blue Close ....

We saw Come Fly With Blue ....

Oh, we definitely got some special schemes when we saw ..... Beta Blue ....

So I find it amazing that your lens saw so much more variety than mine did :) Oh, I did get this one complete with heat haze and a Blue too!

I catch your drift Art. :wink: I was becoming sick of how many jetBlue a/c we watched. Sharp pictures though and at least the heavies saved the day. See you at UN week.

Just incredible shots Luke! One question, planning on coming back down to JFK in a few weeks and was wondering what time these were taken, and at what mm?

Thanks fellas.

All of these shots were taken in the 8:30am to 11:00am time period. The runway shots were taken at 400mm with some cropping while the arrival shots were taken around the 100-200mm range.

Nice work! The EVA MD-11F is a particularly nice catch...
