Saudia Cities special is inbound this morning (9/19) to JFK. Flight SV21 is due in around 1030. Happy hunting.
A rare EWR alert - the beautiful Air Canada retro 319 is due in just before 5p this evening.
Saw what appeared to be a jumbo being escorted by roughly an f15-sized aircraft over syosset just now. Any info on what that was all about?
Actually, I think the lead jet may have been a KC-135
Not sure if this is in the right place but to answer your question I saw a single fighter trailing a 4 engine heavy at 6:45AM this morning as well over Northeastern Nassau. Flying patrol as part of heightened security, it is most likely a KC-135 refueling the fighter.
It's not at all uncommon to see fighters refueling from tankers in this area this week. There are always combat air patrols going on during UN Week.
WestJet's new Frozen themed 738 is due into JFK today, C-GWSV, ETA ~5pm. Better catch it today, as WestJet JFK service ends tomorrow and doesn't resume until May!
But there's always a chance to get it at LGA

I heard the piston engines and spotted a georgous polished silver Twin Beech approaching 22R this afternoon at about 13:50 hrs. It didn't show up on Flightradar, but was heard checking in on Live ATC.com as "Beechcraft 42C." Definitely a beautiful photo op for anyone who wants to venture out and find where it is parked at the airport.
Seems to be a semi-regular visitor lately, but a Nolinor 737-200 is about 20 minutes out.
do we know if that Nolinor is going to be a semi regular visitor here this winter?
Not exactly photographable but it's worth noting the 77W sporting the new Cathay Pacific livery just touched down ahead of my aircraft. Likely not the first visit though? The Saudia 77W special is also parked at T1. They're on the 22's at the moment.
Quick reminder that the Etihad A380 inaugural is tomorrow (Monday) morning. A6-APB is airborne and due at the usual time, right around 9:00. Departure is mid-afternoon.
JFK spotters, be on the lookout for a Qatar A350 tomorrow afternoon -- http://flightaware.com/live/flight/Q...540Z/OTHH/KJFK
Heads up for JFK tomorrow
Qatar A350 with Akbar Al Baker on board: http://flightaware.com/live/flight/Q...540Z/OTHH/KJFK
The XL flight tonight is operating with a borrowed Air Transat 330. Arrival around 7pm.
The Norwegian Oslo flight is using a HiFly 332, CS-TQP. Arrival around 8pm.
Köln-Bonn Airport, Germany (CGN) is expecting AUH006 the Abu Dhabi 787 from New York tomorrow around noon, so it should depart in 2 hours, but I'm not sure, from which NY Airport.
The 787 was parked at SWF, might have departed directly from the field as I did not notice it at JFK last night. A UAE 747-400 is now parked at SWF.
The UAE 787 landed last night (12/22) at JFK around 2030 from SWF. I'm not sure what time she departed last night. Here is a shot of her taxing to the tent. Also, last night Eva Air arrived supporting her new scheme (B-16725), unfortunately the weather was going down hill fast as the fog started to roll in (hope to get a better shot next time).

There's an El Al 73G due in about 7:30am tomorrow (Sunday), departing again around 10:00am on the way to TUS. http://flightaware.com/live/flight/ELY47
Oh well .... I was in position for a 22R right departure, and once I got to Bayswater they changed over to the 31s. So here is my shot of the EL AL 737

Looks like tonight's Kuwait flight (which was an A343) was a boomerang. Made it about as far as Martha's Vineyard.
Arriving after dark (1830L), but today's EK205 is -EOA, which is the Real Madrid aircraft. Though I would caution about putting too much of Gareth Bale's face through an expensive lens :)
Jan 25, 2016... Air Canada 714 to LGA is a 767 arriving at 15:30 and departing for Toronto at 16:30. Surely storm related.
A6-EOT is expected at JFK at 7pm EST. EOT is the EK A380 with the Paris St. Germain Stickers
El Al 737-900 delivery coming through JFK around 0600 tomorrow morning. Usually stays for just a gas-and-go.
Looks like KAL81 inbound today B777-3B5
Looks like BR32 (EVA 32) is finally coming in with the Hello Kitty scheme (B-16722). Hopefully it's no April Fools joke. Happy spotting.
ANA's new Star Wars livery (BB-8 Triple Seven) is inbound in about 5 hours as NH104. I'm thinking about heading down from CT. Good luck to anyone who heads out to try and catch her!
This beauty just touched down on JFK's 22L - BA 772 "Great Festival of Creativity."

There are 60 world leaders due in New York between now and Friday for the signing of the Paris climate agreement.

The white Amiri 332 with the silver band around the fuselage is sitting by the de-icing hanagr at JFK.
The new Orbis MD-10 (N330AU) is currently over Blacksburg, VA as ORBIS1 enroute MEM-EWR. Should be landing in about an hour.
Best,
Omar
Air Serbia A330 making her inaugural flight to JFK today. Flight JU500, ETA is around 1130. Reg. YU-ARA
Happy hunting!
There's a Saudia 747-300 (can't see winglets) by FX cargo area.
