Sunday 12/14 JFK

The weather prediction looks great!! Anyone, anyone? Bueller? Bueller? I was shooting for JFK or LGA depending on winds.

Hmmm, I'm in...

Tired shooting by myself...

If im not too busy tomorrow, I might pop out to JFK for a few hours. But Im not too sure yet.

Pretty good chance that I'll be out for a while in the afternoon.

Good news for me, Im in for spotting. Im going to be by Bayswater in the morning then ill make my way to Firestone before noon. Anyone gonna be there? PM me. Im using the subway to get there.

sorry i couldn't make it :(

Damn finals...finishing up work...

I must spot!

Never made it out either - left the house around Noon, and it looked to be clouding up. From the looks of things later, it probably would have been half way decent.

Well, me, Kenny, Brian and Andy met up at Bayswater this morning on. We had limited light today because a bunch of clouds rolled in. We did get plenty of nice departure shots though. Heres mine

nice shot of the flightcheck. they did a low pass at LGA this weekend. i've yet to get a decent shot of them doing any work at LGA as they're always there in the wee hours of the morning. shame...

Is that a flightcheck bird? from AC?

Hmmm, whats it doing coming into JFK?, we didn't order a flight check?

that King Air is an FAA route check ship. In the 60s-70s, the FAA used DC-3s for the same job, My first DC-3 sighting in memory was a Fed bird checking the parameters of the 13L approach,one fine summers day in the late 60's.
