Thanks to a heads up from Mark with a tip from Moose, I was out at JFK at an unlikely hour to satisfy the addiction :cool:
Here is another look at her taxiing on Alpha to RWY 4L for departure to Andrews AFB under the call "Aeroflot 9007"
ISO 6400 @ f/2.8 and heavy noise reduction!

Tonemapped HDR image. That darn floodlight was pointed straight at me, not to mention other sources of strong light that conspired on the massive amount of flare and ghosting :mad:
3 images stacked, ISO 200 @ f/8 from 1s to 4s.

Mark and I caught the new Lufthansa c/s today at JFK...

Mark will post the in-air shots...
BTW, I am here in Philly. Got a room at the Marriott PHL, OMG, this is a spotters dream. My room has a view of the airport and I am about 500 yards away from the nearest rwy! amazing...
Not at all.. I do notice it... but hey, for the fun of watcing operations, veruy very cool for ops watching. And who knows, Antonov 225 may come in :tongue:
Now, I am NOT here to spot.. .trust me, my wife is here with me, so I can guarantee I would win the lottery before I spot. With that said, I will try a few shots from my double pane, double glazed, double dirty, double uncoated/reflective windows. Thirdly against me, the only light I can get is while I am still in the room in the morning, which means Sun-in-yer-face ... Cuban Style ROTFL.
Night ops are not bad, they are non stop. The hotel is about in-line with the first high speed exit. I did not bring my laptop charger AGGHHRR!!! so I have about 10 minutes left on that. A little more on iPad so I will use that in a bit.. no pictures to download :mad:
Kalitta 722 Horse Hauler is due into FRG around 1500L today, for a short turn and departure about an hour later...

Hawaiian A330 in MSP for Delta MTX work.
FlightAware showing Kuwaiti A320 arrived four hours ago at KSWF.
E190 PT-TLS showing planned into EWR at 1524L.
[EDIT: Looks like this is the delivery flight to the eventual customer in the UAE. Came up from Brazil in early October, went to the NBAA in Vegas, then to the completion center in Nashville, and now overseas]
KEWR was on a split approach config using 22R exclusively (22L was closed) for inbound RNAV aproaches and then splitting some traffic around Teterboro for RWY 29. Of course with my luck, they would put PT-TLS on 29 :mad: and to add insult to injury, she was late. Add to that, I was early, which guarantees an even later arrival. Sure enough, she arrived around 4:50pm way after sun went down!
So here is a blurry (motion blur) shot of PT-TLS... note the different tail scheme

BTW, this was a suicide shot from the side of the NJ Tpke / I-95 shoulder... I barely made it. Hence the clipped tail. It is the only good shot I got out of the 5 or so I was able to fit her in the clear without a pole or fence in the way :(
Ask Senga about shooting from the Turnpike shoulder :) I was able to get up to Newark today to put -TLS in the book. Also noted an AC Jetz 320, the Kalitta/DHL 744 (740CK), a SK 340 (-KBC), the Jazz Star Alliance CRJ, and Jet was in with a 773 instead of the usual 330.
Well, I need to know how to get shots of them on the ground ... as I am sucking at that at EWR... try as I may, I can't seem to find a gap anywhere :mad: Do you know when PT-TLS leaves?
