What treat it was to be out on RWY 22L this morning! Good seeing everyone out there.
Here are a couple of quick captures before I start processing.

Wish my local airport would do something community friendly!
Because PAPD wasn't chasing anyone...Quote:

Looks like a good time. I would have been arrested if I stopped walking :tongue:
We were threatened with removal by bus at the end if we kept stopping :-)Quote:

The slackers ..... with security on their tails, the group started to high tail it to the finish line!

Nice shot of the spotters and that B6 incoming. I love the feel. What post filter did you use? Topaz?Quote:

Oh trust me, by the end, they were definitely chasing us. The last mile or so, if we so much as stopped one of the airport ops workers was honking at us. To be honest though, most of the PA and PAPD crew were pretty welcoming. But the one that kept pushing us along starting just before the halfway point seemed a bit overzealous.Quote:

Sorry I missed ya guys yesterday ! Looks like it was a fun time ... Pretty Cool shots
This was organized by the JFK Rotary Club and sponsored by some airlines. PA had not much to do with the organization or event other than providing security and allowing it :)Quote:

Don suggested that(and he is probably right)watching the planes probably interfered with my focus and I ended up running a 24:15, 20 seconds short of a personal best. So Manny, it looks like I get to try out that 200-400mmVR next time we see each other- unless, that is, someone here got a better time:cool:
The next few shots were taken by my girlfriend, who apparently will soon be a better aviation photographer than myself

I waited for that 747 all day today at Andrews with no luck.
Still going through photos from the run, but here are a few for now.

It was a race for last place!Quote:

Great meeting you too AJ, even if only for a short time. I went over to the Panera lot after Costco.

Ditto ..... On meeting David, Ben and AJ and chatting with you all. Definitely next time you are in the feel free to PM me. I am already looking forward to breaking my record. Instead 1 hour and 28 mins. I am hoping for a time of 1 hour and 40 mins. LoL!
Awesome!
Mark, I think the PA would be dragging you out of there after about an hour and 30 minutes. We just need some slower wheelchair racers next time since they seemed to set the pace.
Is Interjet another niche luxury airline, or is that particular aircraft on a ferry mission or on lease?
Interjet is a regularly scheduled flight. It arrives during the late evening hours but departs around 7:30am or 8:00am during the week days and departs around 10:00am during the weekends.
Great shots everyone! Some of these pics are "once in a lfietime" type stuff, as the PA will never give access like this again.
Good thing this is a yearly event!Quote:

Im aware of that, dont think they have used 22L before though. Usually 31L, which leaves you a little bit more away from the action.Quote:
