As mentioned in another thread AA operated an A-300 on a MIA-LGA-MIA routing.
N129QS arrived from PVR around 1700, probably around the 6th Netjets BBJ movement I have seen at LGA in the last week. This one quick turned then went to BDL.

Re: Daily LGA Report 2009
Today and yesterday I noticed that gorgeous gold and maroon BBJ sitting next to trump.
Re: Daily LGA Report 2009
Phil,
Saw it on Monday afternoon when I was on my way to STL. Its N888TY and WOW is it an awesome bird!
Re: Daily LGA Report 2009
Owned by Ty, the company that makes Beanie Babies. Probably in town for the annual Toy Fair.
Re: Daily LGA Report 2009
N888TY is my favorite BBJ, here is a shot of her (self plug sorry) landing at LGA not long after re-painting and re-registering.

Below is IMO a very interesting Bio on Ty Warner, the BBJ's Billionaire owner, quite a sucess story.

i'm not aure but i don't think that 129 is still operated by NetJets. if i remember correctly they sold all thier BBJs.
Re: Daily LGA Report 2009
Matt, I had read they reduced the number of BBJ's, the below link does show them still in the fleet.
http://www.netjets.com/NetJets_Fleet/NetJets_Fleet.asp
airfleets.net shows 129QS registered to Execuitive Jet Aviaiton which is also known as Netjets. Aircraft appears to be actually owned by Wells Fargo Bank.

Re: Daily LGA Report 2009
Sounds like some fun crosswind landings at LGA right now...winds are 310 at 22, gusting 30, but they're still landing on 22.

Winds are currently right between the two runways, 270 at 23 gusting 28. Still expecting to go single runway at some point before our operation ends then the fun will start.

Not 20 mins after I typed this LGA went to single runway ops up and down 31, and the Localizer 31 approach is in use. JFK is also now on the 31's as well.
