Hey all, first post here.. Great site by the way.. I'd love to get out to JFK with some of you one of these days.
Anyway, here a few from yesterday...
I was up in the old tower adjacent to New Highway for the break....

I couldn't see the wheels touch down because they decided to land on 32, but did get to look straight down and watch her taxi to the museum...

As soon as she was out of fuel, the crew gave her a final salute:

The woman pictured here is the President of the Northrop Grumman Retiree club. She signed the official paperwork taking over ownership of the aircraft.

And finally... one of the other photographers there was nice enough to grab a few shots of me and Felix....
