Nice seeing everyone who was out today for the less then stellar weather and somewhat uneventful arrival :-)

I had my son and his friend with me, both 12, and didn't feel like having them get eaten alive so we went to Inwood when we heard them using 4-R. Funny thing they switched to 22-L for the Luftansa A380 twenty minutes or so later.

Well, they are coming from Germany... you wouldn't wanted to have to make a huge circle around Sandy hook would you? LOL. JFK caters to their traffic, winds usually notwithstanding. I was sitting at Panera when they switched. After that, I ran through the T1 ramp from T9 to see her at the gate and then decide if they were looking like they were on time for a 2:00pm scheduled departure or not. If they were, I would have stuck around... but they were :30 minutes late (announced) and turned out to be much worse. Glad I left...

Matt- great work! I feel like that third to last shot may actually make me see some sort of beauty in that otherwise obese biotch.

Great job gentlemen!!! I wish I could have joined you all, but all this traveling is kicking my lower cheeks. I wish you all had more favorable skies, but there'll be plenty of other opportunities.

Great shots Matt, Manny, and Eric. It was late when I got home last night so I didn't get to any of my shots yet. I will throw some up on here later tonight when I get home. I'll do my best not to duplicate any shots.

Am I seeing two anti-collision beacons on top of this whale-jet?
Nice coverage guys, too bad the weather sucked. Although, sun at 12 o'clock high might have been worse.

Good eye, I'm now comparing A380 beacon configs!
Noticed this before on Jet Airways A330's when spotting in TO

I believe it's simply a backup to aid dispatch rate...
