4/23 and 4/24/2014, JFK 31R Arrivals; Planes that have tormented me, 747s and more
With apologies to Mark who I only recognized today, 4/24, as he was pulling away (sorry man; did not mean to be anti-social and not even wave or anything), I was at Costco for 31R arrivals last night and earlier today. Between last night and today I finally saw a few planes I NEVER manage to get a decent photo of:
BOS5: I've only seen it frm a distance for 4R previously (4/23)
EIN 111: The Irish 75; first time I've seen it flying. (4/24)
EgyptAir: That sonofa.... refuses to come out well no matter what settings I have, whether I set the camera for autofocus or what (4/24)
There were also a handful of Go 'Rounds due to a centerline runway light that popped up out of its housing. The tower sent a few back around (although JAL4 just landed regardless), and sent everything to 31L for a bit.
I also saw more 747s than I've gotten to see in a while, which is always a treat given how they're being replaced by the Triple 7s, A380s and 787s.
Anyway, here's some of last night's highlights:
