This is interesting, I was at Cargo Plaza on the 11th and caught the same stuff you did. Didn't see anyone else around though.

Went to the mounds first but not much was happening there , some pics were taken by the Ramada.
Checked out the cell phone lot for future use for pick-ups, but did not make it to cargo plaza.

On the picture of Tubular Belle (G-VHOT), am I seeing things or is the sticker of the lady missing? Very weird...

BTW, I really like the angle on the FedEx MD-10.

Re: JFK 8-11

I was curious about that as well, Josh. Luckily there was a thread on a.net on the same day I spotted Tubular Belle about the missing "flag lady" and it turns out that when the aircraft was in maintenance they removed her and just didn't have the time to put her back yet. There was some talk about her being removed due to issues with gender in the Middle East and India but apparently that's not true.

Yes. I noticed this months ago and kept forgetting to post about it.

Anyone have any idea why that is?

Great pics otherwise! Hope to see you out there.

I wish I could say that was me in the first or last shot
But I have a question what is a good camera to use not just for spotting. I've seen some guys at work with these digital ones that you can change the zoom, and lenses, they are like the new versions of the old film ones.

Yeah, those are called Digital SLR's, they are the digital versions of, as you say the "Old film ones".

Digitals SLR's use a sensor instead of film to capture the image. There are two main makers of DSLR's, Canon and Nikon.

If you are interested in picking one up, may I reccomend the Canon Digital Rebel XTi, it runs about $600 without lenses, you must buy those seperate.
