New member to NYC Aviation forums

Hi folks,

Just thought I would introduce myself, as I joined the forums the other day. I'm Nick Bartolotta, and I live northeast of NYC in Westport, Connecticut. Aviation is my life, along with ATA Airlines. :D

I am an obsessive fan of ATA, and hope to work there someday as a pilot. I lived overseas for the good part of my life, so I just recently moved back to the States and have gotten into spotting. So far I've done spotting at my local airport (BDR), HPN, PHL and when I lived in Japan...RJTT (Haneda).

I'm looking to become a little more involved by saving up for a new, and better camera. The digital one I have no is really not good for spotting, and the zoom is absolutely horrible. I'd like to hit up the NYC airports sometime in the future for spotting, and *fingers crossed* get to see some ATA movements out of LGA :mrgreen:

Anyways, glad to be around here on the forums and looking forward to getting to know the regulars here!

Welcome aboard Nick


Phil, I think you have a new playmate..... :lol: (Nick, Big Phil is a fan of ATA)

The sad part is, that shot is probably an EXTREMELY rare occasion, having four planes at the same airport at one time! :wink:

Thanks for the welcome all! I will let you know Phil when I'm going to plan a spotting trip down to NYC though, that would be awesome to meet a fellow ATA-er, and one who is famous :wink:

Hey Nick! Welcome aboard!

Just curious, but what were you doing in Japan? I lived in Korea for five months, but went to Japan and liked it a lot. If I had it over again, I would have stayed longer in Japan instead of Korea.

Hye I lived in Korea for 3 years, What years were you in Korea Bonanzabucks?

Lived there eight years for my fathers work, he works at IMS Health now but we moved there with IBM. Twas a blast, we lived right in downtown Tokyo...the freedom you have there to move around the city is really something I miss in the States.
