N772AS, XTRA Airways, a former Alaska Air 737-400, running as the press charter for the Obama campaign. Yes, New York needs more journalists.

DHS P-3 Orion is parked next to the De-Icing tent.
I was looking out the back window of my mom's house when that thing flew by to land on 31L...that's the Orion with the radome and the tail boom, right? It flew by and I just went "gaaaa..." with my jaw on the floor. Screamed to my mom "A P-3 WITH A RADOME JUST FLEW BY THE HOUSE" and she just said "That's nice William, hopefully they'll turn the heat back on"
I think this was the same day I saw a C-5 Galaxy land 31R. Heard the whine and knew instantly it was some military hardware. First time seeing the Galaxy so close, what an incredible plane, you think the C-17 is big until you see one of those
The C-5 is one of those planes that amazes me that it can even fly. Wings and engines are WAY too small for that body!

This was taken sunday. Parked between the 2's and unloaded utility vehicles
I wonder if these utility trucks will drive back to CA, or be airlifted again?
N777AS was parked in front of the Triple Hangars yesterday. She has been very busy lately carrying supplies I believe.
Last night (11/13) I was watching plane finder, when I saw a flight number SAM9701 over the North Fork at around 19,000 (which is basically the same altitude that traffic from across the pond is when heading to JFK). Looking at the details it turned out that SAM9701 was an IL-76, which arrived on RWY 4R around 11:15pm. I took a quick ride to JFK this morning (11/14) to see if she was still there or departed some time this morning. To my surprise two IL-76s were sitting at the triple hangers. Here are the resulting shots. According to Akie the birds are no longer there.

Met up with Mark and Manny. It was good to see some familiar faces and take a short break from recovery.

Nice catch Eric. Caught this guy last year around the same time.
Nice seeing you too as well. It was refreshing to see you with smiles on your faces despite what you went through ...
It was definitely refreshing to get out for a short while and see Eric and Manny as well. I wish I could have stayed longer but had to attend a family function. I hope to be out and about more often within a few more weeks as my apartment gets restored to a livable conditions.
I see two interesting inbound flights to JFK for tomorrow, 11/24. Scanair "SUS868" and Aerobeira "ARA107".
Anyone have any idea what those are? ARA107 seems to have come in several times already. I should be out tomorrow.
EDIT: Nevermind, ARA107 is just Arik Air. Why is it inbound at that time?
Yeah, that looks like Arik. I guess the 4PM arrival is just a standard FlightAware mistake. Still don't know what the SUS is though.
Sunair has two Hawker 800's, and I assume they're going to use those as charters from Japan. Fuel stops explain the hopping.
This isn't your average Hawker 800XP paint job:
