Spotting at Floyd Bennett Field
Had fun on Saturday spotting at Floyd Bennett Field. There's a beach in back of Hangar B, where they are restoring old aircraft. The view is great, JFK 13L arrivals pass overhead as do 31L departures. I spotted a PIA B777, a Cathay Pacific Airbus, etc. In the distance, you can see the aircraft touch-down. I was even able to spot 22L arrivals in the distance as well as 13R departures. The spot is breezy and there is fishing there, too.

Back in the day when Air Station Brooklyn was up and running it was a great place to spot military helos stopping in to the station. Park by the store in the parking lot and the aircraft would taxi right past you to get to the hangar or to the runway area to depart. And when NYPD was at their old hangar you could park right next to the tarmac and watch the copters come in and out. Great stuff. Now the PD base is locked down and you cant get close.
