i'll be there, not by choice...
I'm going to try to get out for it.
I'll be there.
im gonna try to get out there
Is there a spot where you guys meet so you can go around spotting as a group or is it more like every man for himself? I would love to go, but I'd like to meet up with a group instead of being alone. :)
I'm sure the spot will depend on what runway is in use. If 31R, I will be at the Bay Harbour Mall, if it's the left side I will have to get a spot in Inwood.
Won't be 31R - the A380 can't use it. If they are landing 31L, go to Bayswater or Inwood Park.Quote:

I am not familier with the bay harbor mall nor Inwood park and need your assistance. I am hopping I will meet and follow one of you fellow spotters.
Well so much for me starting this thread, now I can't go I have to work the next 8 days straight. Hope to see some awesome pictures from you guys, I'm sure I will.
Let's just hope the forecasted showers for Friday morning will be out here before it's arrival at 1:20PM !! :wink:
Why did I think the arrival was later. Is 3:45pm the scheduled service arrival once it starts revenue? Anyone have a flight # for Fri and Sat?
On Air France's website it has it scheduled as flight # AF380 due into JFK at 1:20 PM EST on Friday. I believe 3:45PM will be it's usual arrival time once regular service starts.
Hope it's a little late (if the sun is out) Thanks!
looks like the weather is going to be crappy on friday, I might pass
