A couple of sightings - one from Canada.. M53-01 Malaysian AF 737 c/s RMF444 noted at 1228L over Montreal (thanks to Volker).. One from the UK YI-APX Iraqi Govt A300 over Manchester approx 1630L/1130EDT . Should be in the NYC area about 1930L tonight..
Will be hunting them on Monday!!
Geoff:cool:
Oh crap, they are already rollong in!? Looks like I am going to have to come back to NY tomorrow night than so I dont miss too much. When did Iraq pick up an A300? Is it a 600 or a 200?
Some UN VIP arrivals into JFK today:
Kuwait 747-400
Vietnam Airlines B777-200
Republic of Malawai F900
Greek Gov't Gulfstream V
Stopped by SWF today, no new movements as of 1500L today. Caught the Moroccan Entourage and Kuwait A310 on the Back Ramp; on the closer end was parked Kuwait & Turkish Gov't A319cj's. As markg put it, the two C130's are very close to the Richmor / PANY buildings; couldn't get the Reg. on the RAM B738 - tucked way in between the A310 and RAM744. Gordon, if you get any privileges this week try and get it!
Didn't take many shots, but here are some so-so's

Lets hope these birds didn't get scared off by a little KSWF construction.
Nice. What is the reg on the RAM 744?
Chinese VIP 744...

Spain Air Force A310 late in the afternoon as well.
The RAM 744 is CN-RGA. Used to be an almost daily visitor to JFK before they converted the route to 767s Geoff
As I posted in the FRG thread, there are a pair of French Air Force Falcon 7X's parked over at Sheltair:

We had about a dozen people out at the Mounds this afternoon, but most of the action went to 13L. :frown: The only VIP I saw at JFK was at Bayswater when the Vietnam Airlines 777 departed:

I was there at the mounds then decided to relocate for some 13L arrivals. This is what I caught so far. I'm hoping for a better day tomorrow. Iran Air came in late and the lighting was poor (thus the poor image quality).

Where's the best place for 13L arrivals?
I can't believe I missed the Spanish A310 and especially the SP- I went straight from the mounds back over to the 13L approaches! Like at 70mph. Then I sat there for over two hours and all I saw was the Royal 737- when did the other two come in???:frown:
The Spanish Air Force came in around 5ish and the SP came in around 7.
There was an Air Zimbabwe B767 this morning as well

Isnt that the Turkish jet that usually parks at FRG during UN week?
Yes it is - I was wondering where it was when I saw it wasn't at FRG this morning.Quote:
