IAD 6/2/12 + EWR 6/6/12 + JFK 6/16/12 (Best 7 minutes of spotting) - IMAGE HEAVY
I've finally (somewhat) caught up with processing photos from the past 2 weeks.
Starting at IAD, where a terrible day of missing one after another catch due to runway usage, turned into a decent afternoon:

After getting the departures, I went for arrivals after seeing an An-124 due in. I photographed the Antonov, and was securing everything in my car for the drive back, when I heard props in the distance. When I saw a very dark aircraft, I rushed to get my camera back out, and took a few snaps of a German Air Force Transall.
I made a quick stop at EWR after shooting the Space Shuttle Enterprise on the morning of its move to the Intrepid. I was finally able to get a quality photo of a FedEx 777F, and also got a MD-11F, before heading home:

And finally, last Saturday, I woke up early to get the HAL A330. Little did I know, that not only would I get that, but also the Avianca Star Alliance A319, Cathay oneworld 777-300, South African A340-600 "Beijing 2012", TAM Signatures, JetBlue Red Sox, Saudi Skyteam 777-200 (again), TNT 777, ABX 767-300 (ex-Qantas), and plenty more in great light.

The next 4 planes came over the span of 7 minutes:
