Great set, Rich !! Love the Swiss scheme, nice catch

[steve1840]

Great stuff Rich!! You defiitely are making me wish I could get up there!! You have no idea how tempted I am to take a day off of work just so I can come up there to do some spotting!!

[AA757]

Is a vacation day worth a day of spotting??

As long as the sun is out and the light is good......yes, yes it is. :cool:

Damn, I want that San Fran so badly... last opportunity Mark and I had was under less than good conditions and JFK threw us a curve ball with 13R arrivals :-(

Nice, Rich! What runway(s) were these taken at? I'd like to get up there for the first time, soon.

[billv]

Jeez Rich, you were sure there at the right time for all these special colors! Nice set and that Swiss is awesome. I see Sata painted CS-TKM in their new colors. Sweet. That's the a/c I got last weekend unpainted:
Now I definitely need to get back up to Logan and catch it, lol.

Bill, I cannot believe they painted it so fast you shot it on June 4 and by June 6 is painted and running... thats really quick.......

Manny, I know from my times at JFK 13R is very tough for arrivals.... I have missed plenty when they changed to that runway...

Cary, This first set of photos with the specials were arriving runway 4R taken from the Castle Island area the stuff from Tuesday are runway 15 departures and 22L arrivals. When and if your coming up let me know and maybe we can meet up.....

Love that Nantucket Cessna, what a cool tail logo!

[Zee71]

Great stuff Rich! I'm currently in Hull, MA teaching............wish I had the time to join to for some spotting. The SATA scheme is sweet..........and I'm on a mission to catch the Swiss A340.

Thanks, Rich. I've always wanted to get Iceland Express at EWR, but as you probably know, spotting there is a b****. BOS would be well worth the long drive if I could get the Iceland Express and SATA.

[AA757]

Mark, This time of year is the time to catch the Swiss A340 at Logan as most of the time its schedule in after 7pm or some of the time closer to 8pm.... need the long days..... of June to do it.....

Iceland Express flies to EWR, they use the 757 alot but the 737 does make an appearance here and there

Yes, but not everyone can take pics at EWR without getting screamed at by LE :tongue:

[hiss srq]

It's great to see new Euro carriers in the US but when it's a Euro flying 737's that is a double winner.
