Re: LGA Kids' Day - 9/29/07
Anyword yet on what planes will be there? I'm assuming AA and DAL will have an MD but any word on US? Be nice to see PSA sitting there. I hope 4 is in use in the morning, I haven't spotted 4 in ages. WX is looking better then perfect to, High: 74 °F RealFeel®: 75 °F
Sunny and pleasant!
Re: LGA Kids' Day - 9/29/07
When I went a couple of years ago runway 4 was inuse because of sometype of construction.
I can't quite remember but....
Once you are there where all the kids day stuff is: how is spotting the other stuff landing etc?
Too far?

AA will have an MD80 as long as nothing goes out of service that day. I believe there two spares now so it should be fine. Delta will have an 80 as well and I'm guessing that US will have a 319 in regular new colors. There was a lot of confusion about who the Star Alliance was when it was there last year. LGA777 can confirm I'm sure.
There will also be a C130 (As I understand with the Ski Skids), E2C-Hawkeye and probably 2 F-18's. There were some others that were being worked on, but there wasnt enough time for the Military to get all the necessary paperwork done - Regardless the C130 and the Hawkeye will be really cool.
Finally, there will be a 182 again (like last year) and, as far as I understand, the SkyTypers will indeed be there. I don't think the P-51's will be there this year, but Im not 100% sure on that....
Re: LGA Kids' Day - 9/29/07
Matt thanks for the info, the C130 will def be cool to see!
Re: LGA Kids' Day - 9/29/07

We won't see the P-51 and P-40 from Warbirds over Long Island that normally attend shows in the area - they will be at The Gathering of Mustangs & Legends in Columbus, OH this weekend. Close to 100 Mustangs, plus other warbirds, are expected to be in attendance.

Sounds good. I'll be there wearing my old blue Pan Am tee.
Re: LGA Kids' Day - 9/29/07
The Port is going to close Rwy 4-22 from 0001 on Sat 9-29 till 1200 on Sunday 9-30 for multiple construction projects and based on forecasted winds plan on up and down Rwy 31.
And to answer AA777's earlier question the US Star Alliance A-319 was 3 years ago, we had new colors A-319's the last two years. And there will be a US A-319 on hand this year as well.
I will making a brief appearance early in the event and look forward to seeing everyone !
Cheers
