Today was wasted...I got out to Firestone around 12:45, nothing had come in yet, and I settled in waiting for AF1 and watching for anything else that was inbound. After about 30 minutes, JFK switched to the dreaded 13L/22L split. Since I didn't know if anything was inbound, and not wanting to miss AF1, I stayed at Firestone and finished my lunch and caught up on some reading. About 3pm, I was able to get online and check this thread, and realize I missed the arrivals Mateo posted above (I did hear the Suriname get cleared for 13L by tower) Around 3:30, I hear AF1 call in to tower at ASALT for 13L...
I did manage one shot after she landed.

Before they switched off of 31R, I managed to shoot three aircraft, a Lufthansa 747 and two JetBlue E-190s. One of the E-190s was one that I'm missing from my JB fleet shots. The photo is blurry...FML :mad:
According to Gridlock Sam in the Daily News the Pres is here until Friday.Quote:

Anyone know if there's anything good/shootable at SWF? Tomorrow's the only day I'd be able to make the trip up there.
Also, anyone see or hear of the E-4B in the area? I heard this shadows AF1 as of late but can't confirm.
I hit the mounds after work, a few guys were around. Additionally, I had a gut feeling Air Force One would be using 13L, so I figured I try to catch that. Here is what I got today. Last image althought not the greatest by any means was a total surprise will at the mounds...........a tanker refueling a F22 (wish I had like a 500mm or better lens!).

Figuring that I should not let my education get in the way of such a great opportunity I flew up from DC earlier this afternoon, unfortunately not with the Pres. but I did manage to spot Air Force One parked on the ramp at AFW preparing for the trip up to JFK. There are not as many aircraft parked at SWF as there were last year but I still managed to photograph 6 new aircraft
Aircraft parked at SWF: 2x Moroccan C-130, Royal Air Maroc 767-300, Royal Air Maroc 747-400, Moroccan Government 737-800, Kuwait A310, Kuwait A319, GainJet 757-200, 2x RoyalJet 737-700, Chilean Air Force 767-300, Botswana GV, Bahrain GV, Azerbaijan A319, MEA A330-200, Turkish Government A319, Air Zimbabwe 767-200, Romania 707
They were only expecting three or four more aircraft to come in before Friday.

There's a BBJ, looks like Nigeria, parked in front of the tripple hangars at JFK right now. (7am)
Thanks for sharing. My photos of Air Force One over Coney were taken with a crappy 10X telephoto lens with an unadjustable speed control and are fuzzy but he flew over Coney exactly at 1541 followed shortly by many choppers which closed-down Rwy 13L for landings for a half-hour.
