Even though it was a very short outting for us, it sure paid off! By the way the departure shots were taken from the bridge as the HoBe parking lot is still closed.

[lijk604]

Awesome work guys! Where did you park Mark?

according to Mark and Jason they were told the beach is contaminated and that's why it remains closed.

[Cal07]

Nice coverage of the dreamlifter guys...

[eric8669]

You can park on the Howard Beach side of the bridge and walk.

[MSN007]

Nice shot with the tower.

is this supposed to be news? :tongue:

[yankees368]

The 2 lots, officially, are closed due to erosion and compromised concrete in the parking lot. The beach is just as contaminated as ever.

[wunaladreamin]

Excellent coverage guys!

[megatop412]

Rock on guys, great pictures

[Zee71]

Well....here are a couple from me

Dude, that B&W processing is slick! Great outing today, nothing quite like the dash from North Woodmere to the Mounds.

Great shot Mark. Jason, next you must do the HoBe to the mounds dash.

[yankees368]

Has anyone ever successfully completed a HoBe-Inwood dash? Sounds impossible.

[eric8669]

we've done the Bayswater to HoBe dash several times. my favorite is still HoBe to Mounds in less the 8 minutes and you get to the top of the mounds just as the plane you want is about to pass by but you still get a great shot.

HoBe to mounds in 8 mins? Damn!! I can't even get from Panera to the second light on Rockaway Blvd in 8 mins....haha!

[gonzalu]

HoBe to Bayswater is where the boys are separated from the men!

Great stuff.,.. glad you all caught it. I was almost certain they wouldn't get 22R as there were nothing but Jumbo, Heavy and Super taking off on it right before it came in.

Now how in the hell can anyone get from Howard Bitch to the Mounds in 8 minutes. All those lights on Cross Bay make sure that's not possible(for me). Anybody here using one of those red light changers you can get off the Net?

lol, I agree, that doesn't seem possible. Most of the time on Rockaway Tpke now, it takes 10 minutes just to get from Costco to Brookville Blvd. Sandy really screwed up the traffic patterns here.

but it did happen. JFK was landing 13R so we shooting in Howard Beach, plane we wanted was cleared for 13R approach and then was changed to 22L and we bolted in a 3 car caravan to the mounds.

[yankees368]

Ah, this must have been "The Great Cross Bay Blvd. 3 Car Caravan Pedestrian Slaughter" I read about a few years ago :wink:

haha, must not of been me though, because we didn't drive on Cross Bay Blvd.

[smspro]

That Dream Lifter is incredible! The shape makes me laugh! Thanks for sharing.

Since the Sandy the trip time from Costco to the Mounds is 10 mins? Sounds like Sandy helped the traffic patterns!! haha!! Last time I was at Costco it took me 10 mins just to wait for traffic to clear so I could get out of the lot.

HAHA oh man I remember that like it was yesterday. How we made that is beyond me...Hopefully the statue of limitations has passed :cool:

It was for Wunala and, if I remember correctly, ERIC was the lead car. If anybody asks the other two were pursuing him for a citizen's arrest. :rolleyes:

[Aviation.High.Guy]

Great shots guys! Anyone know what business the Dreamlifter was up to at JFK?

[eric8669]

Oh, look its my accomplices. And yes it was for Wunala.
