You won't fill the frame, but you'll do OK. I just looked at the EXIF on the shots of the SCA/Shuttle - when the airplane (747 - same size) was directly abeam Bayswater on the approach, I was at 300mm on the lens. I did crop a little, but not much. As he continues toward the airport, you will get a little short, but you should get acceptable photos.
Nice, I will probably try that. Thanks for the tip.
TK flight 11 TC-JJB B777-300 from IST to JFK to arrive with an additional engine mounted underneath the fuselage. Spotted under blue skies over German airspace minutes ago.
Have fun!
Qatar Amiri A332 arrived last night and parked in front of the triple hangars. A7-HMM is the registration.
There's a Dreamlifter parked at the Atlas hangars. Unfortunately it's not the best day for a photo op!
N249BA is the LCF gracing us with her presence. Still at H19 and still lousy wx. Unknown when shes leaving.Quote:

How does that (dis)grace JFK? Any plane is welcome on any airport in my book, especially if I have my camera! :tongue:
was that a diversion?
There is only room for one Canyon Blue at JFK in my book and that is tail 536 of JetBlue's fleet. 727, no... It was a troop transport flight... Domestic civil reserve flight.
SWA rocks,would love to see them at JFK
On my way back home from my work related trip to Boston, I saw this sitting at the de-icing tent from the Air Train (of course.......once I got home I came back to get a shot of her). Registration ID: N787TW

I was just curious if the Dreamlifter is still parked at JFK ???
As of this morning she was still there.Quote:

P4-MES filed a flight plan to KEWR tonight from KFLL.

Interjet A320 made a visit to Kennedy today. Perhaps a trial visit before they commence service in a few days.
While heading out to Baltimore last week (7/23) this 727 was sitting by the de-icing tent. Of course I had to make a quick detour to get the shot. I've seen this aircraft at LGA, but this time it was at JFK.

Looks like a Dreamlifter came and went overnight. GTI4322, CHS-JFK-Italy
Is this turning into a weekly thing? GTI4322 inbound again from CHS, ETA 0115; scheduled out to Italy 0315. How bad do you want it?
Dreamlifter 718BA on final for 31L.
Here are a few shots of some cargo visitors. Air France (8/15) and Sky Lease Cargo (8/16)
It was still raining when this shot was taken at ISO 5000 (cleanup). Reg ID: F-GUOB

The rain finally slowed down enough to get this shot at ISO 200 (and some post processing)

Thanks to Jason who informed me of this arrival. Just made it in time to HoBe to catch her departing off RWY 31L. Both shots taken with 300mm + 1.4 TC. Reg ID: N950AR

You're welcome!
Awesome Mark! Love the MD11. Looks like A7-AAG is on final for 4L...was tracking on Planefinder a few minutes ago.
Air Force 1 is on the ground. SAM29000. BTW, A6-COM departed as Dubai Air Wing 3
Holy%^#$ how the heck you get 'em Mark :tongue:. Great coverage as usual. Never even heard of MD 11, thanks for the update.Quote:

Mark, Great shots of the AF Cargo and the Sky Lease

Love the night shots, the md-11 and the KLM is mind blowing.
I need to do a trip on the airtrain. Last time I flew out of JFK I got a ton of fun shots from it (before I was on this board, still thinking I was the only one so obsessed with planes).Quote:

UGH!!! 2 hours early, a runway change, and they are the only one to go 31L instead of R. Thanks for the heads up anyway, Manny and Mark. :mad:

When did this guy sneak in?

A little birdy tells me there's an E-4B (!!!!!!????!!!!) on the ground at JFK right now. I'd expect to see pics shortly.
That's probably one of the more rare domestic aircraft to see on the enthusiast circuit.
The Doomsday Machine! Leon Panetta is in NYC possibly to speak at the UN relating to this

and a good report on the plane

Well.....I was a fortunate to get a glimpse of this rare bird. I had left the mounds on my way home just a block from Rockaway Blvd, when I caught a quick glimpse between the buildings of something that didn't look familar landing on 22R. I detoured to the field, and wasn't sure what I've seen. I finally located the bird, and the second I saw it, I knew exactly what it was. For obvious reasons, I smeared out some stuff.

Did this arrive at about 6:15pm??
