Sweet stuff Mark! Man, that Cathay took a while to retract its gears.

Glad you finally caught I <3 Blue York in the air!

[Roush6NY]

Mark, the Cathay is fantastic .... WOW !!!

[hiss srq]

Great catches guys..... As usual, it's nice to see everyone through binoculars..... :cool:

[Zee71]

Rom.....yeah.....looks like Cathay used the full length when is popped out over the trees (below is the first shot of the Cathay as she started her climb)

Kaz.....Thank you!

Hiss Srq.....Thanks for keeping a watchful eye on us :)

[chrisparypa]

Kaz r you going out today ?? Im leaving right now man ! I told you guys weather will be great today !!!

[hiss srq]

JFK is on the 22's right now with some offload to 31LKK to be expected..... Possible flip back to solid 31's after 0930 hour and before 1330..... GET OUT AND MAKE ME PROUD!!! Great day to be at JFK... The light is fantabulous!

[gonzalu]

For the record, light is ONLY GOOD because I am not out there LOL...

On the 22's from The Mounds, the foreign heavies always deliver long low departures...

MARK!!!!! That Cathy is just OFF THE HOOK!!! wow... loving it...

[megatop412]

I have to echo the others, that's a great set!

Made my first visit to Howard Beach yesterday afternoon on my way to the Five Towns. All I can say is, I have no idea why I've never gone there before. Caught the Air China 744 banking and ANA 777 and was ready to get Eva until I noticed her make the left turn to head towards the 22R hammerhead. I was pissed they were switching until I realized that by the time it got to 31L the light would have been totally gone anyway.

[mattdueck]

Early Bird gets the Worm :cool:

I couldnt agree more. There is something to be said for getting up at the crack of dawn to catch some sweet aircraft that may not fly during the daytime.

[hiss srq]

No, there really isnt... Rest assured.... The most exciting part of the day at JFK is from about noon to 7PM

[gonzalu]

I couldnt agree more. There is something to be said for getting up at the crack of dawn to catch some sweet aircraft that may not fly during the daytime.

I got up at 5:00am for days until I was finally able to catch this classic beauty in good light. I am glad I did as I think they are not flying her anymore on this route :-(

[hiss srq]

She just stopped a few weeks ago... She was my favorite part of the morning... Always a firm landing....... Now, we deal with a bunch of lousy ABX/ATI and plane whit 767-200ER's

[gonzalu]

Yeah, I see that... lately the ABX 767s are the go to guys... I also LOVE the sound of those four classic engines on 4R from Bayswater ... can't hear it much on 4L...

[JZ]

Nice shots, particularly the CX 773 from the mounds. I was coming in on AA 258 from LAS yesterday and noticed the SQ special scheme and the NH 773 parked at T7, obviously being delayed significantly.

[PhilDernerJr]

You guys got 4 departures from the mounds? Very nice!

[chrisparypa]

some stuff from me... Im little late :)

What a shot. Well worth the wakeup call. Manny, are the fences in way for 04R departure shots? Any example?

[N221UA]

Nice stuff guys!

[steve1840]

Chris - where were those shots taken from? I'm loving the PIA, Virgin, and Turkish shots. Great stuff!!
