LGA Airline Collectibles Show - 11/10/07
Saturday, November 10th, at the Marriot Courtyard will be the annual LGA Collectibles Show and Sale.
The hours are from 9am-4pm.
Admission is $5.
The Marriot Courtyard is NOT the large Marriot close to the southern end of the airport, but is the one that is across the street from the Vaughn College of Aeronautics, a block from Planeview Park.
The collectible shows are a GREAT way to find all kinds of airline-related items that you might collect. Aside from the more common models, safety cards, magazines, etc, there is almost anything that you could possibly imagine. If it exists and has an airline logo....you'll find it there. Just keep an eye on how much you spend, as it is temptation to the highest.

Re: LGA Airline Collectibles Show - 11/10/07
We are just learning about this and will try to see if we can still get tables for the site, and getting some shirts made up to sell as well. I'll let you know as things happen.

Hate to call you out Ryan, but you didn't buy anything last year.
I went last year too but will not be attending this year. Just isn't worth traveling 1400 miles for.

Re: LGA Airline Collectibles Show - 11/10/07
This show looks to be really cool and I intend to to purchase some new 1:400 scale models. :borat:
-
Re: LGA Airline Collectibles Show - 11/10/07
Im more into the 1:500 scale models and im looking foward to getting more herpa wings models.. And probably some starjet models too if they are still around. I believe that the 1:500 scale starjets are discontinued.

Yeah! Keep in touch as we get closer, Rich. Excited to see you.

Re: LGA Airline Collectibles Show - 11/10/07
I may do some morning shooting at Planeview Park if the config's are good, before heading to stop in at the show.

Re: LGA Airline Collectibles Show - 11/10/07
Phil, we might actually run into each other this time!
Planning on getting up to NY on Friday, staying through Monday.
See you all there,

Re: LGA Airline Collectibles Show - 11/10/07
Well I took the day off.
Maybe I'll bring the bambino to his first show ;)
-
Re: LGA Airline Collectibles Show - 11/10/07
I will most likely do plenty of spotting at Planeview depending if runway 4 is being used or even the runway 22 depatures as well.
at the last years Airline collectable show, everything was departing from runway 22. And not to forget that my birthday is on the same day. Ill probably be wharing my United Airlines sweater that day in case any recognizes me lol.

Re: LGA Airline Collectibles Show - 11/10/07
Looks like I'm going to miss this once again - I'm taking a little road trip, starting either Wednesday or Thursday, heading to, among other places...

Look for a trip report in a week or two :)

Re: LGA Airline Collectibles Show - 11/10/07
Have fun, be sure to take a lot of photos.
-
Re: LGA Airline Collectibles Show - 11/10/07
I think I may check this out, as it would give me a good opportunity to spot Planeview in the morning as well as to hit the show for a while. What time are some of you guys going to be around if you go?
-
Re: LGA Airline Collectibles Show - 11/10/07
Depending on weather, i hope to get out to spotting early, and then make my way over to the show until noon or a little after.
-
Re: LGA Airline Collectibles Show - 11/10/07
Let's hope the weather shapes up, long-range forecast has a 40% chance of rain. :(

Anyone? :D

Re: LGA Airline Collectibles Show - 11/10/07
Yes. It's two blocks from Planeview Park. NOT the big Marriot on the East end of the airport.
-
Re: LGA Airline Collectibles Show - 11/10/07
Friday Night: A chance of rain. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 38. Northeast wind between 8 and 10 mph. Chance of precipitation is 40%.
Saturday: A chance of rain. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 38. Chance of precipitation is 40%.
Good for a show, not for shooting. Grrrrrrrr.

I was ABLE, but decided not to. I (we) didn't have enough time to prepare anything for it, as we've been working hard on other projects.

Re: LGA Airline Collectibles Show - 11/10/07
Hope to see lots of you guys there.
I twisted Art's arm, he now has a table.
I'm going to be helping out with the TEB Aviation Hall of Fame Museum's tables.
We will have a good selection of memorabilia.

Re: LGA Airline Collectibles Show - 11/10/07
is planeview park next to the Marriot Courtyard? I think that the rain may be part of a front. so the winds may come from the north, bring the planes towards the north..if thats what they need. (winds from the north).

Re: LGA Airline Collectibles Show - 11/10/07
Even though Saturdays forecast does not sound great for photography the Port has confirmed Runway 13-31 will be closed for 30 hours from 0001 Saturday to 0600 Sunday for Taxiway Bravo construction. So based on forecasted winds for Saturday probably up and down Runway 4 all day. Also no US Special Scheme 319's are currently scheduled for Saturday. I look forward to seeing some of you at the show !
Cheers

Re: LGA Airline Collectibles Show - 11/10/07

-
Re: LGA Airline Collectibles Show - 11/10/07
The fact that it will be raining and cold. Sorry guys with the wx forecasted, I'm not making the trip.

Re: LGA Airline Collectibles Show - 11/10/07

Re: LGA Airline Collectibles Show - 11/10/07
We're taking the ride in. Look for the guy with a baby strapped to him.
And I'll have HAVE to show him the 4 landings :)

Re: LGA Airline Collectibles Show - 11/10/07

Re: LGA Airline Collectibles Show - 11/10/07

Re: LGA Airline Collectibles Show - 11/10/07
Maria Massielle and her dad (me) had a great time today, our first aviation related event we've done with just the two of us. It was great seeing so many of our group, a good time for sure. And the weather ended up being a lot better than I expected, and the up and down 4 config made for a nice noisy perk !
Cheers
