Looking at FlightRadar24 I noticed a Russian Special Flight Service IL-96 taking off from 13R/JFK; going SW; I’m guessing to IAD. Plus a Kuwaiti A345 and an unnamed 738BBJ; both on the taxiway...

I hear a lot of foreign Heads of State and dignitaries are attending the Champ's funeral; I understand that Louisville Int. has an 11,000 ft runway to support possible aircraft of said mentioned....
So Flight Radar alerted me to an Air Koryo about to take off from Toronto; Glitch? Or, is there a spotter lucky enough to get a pic and give some info?
PS How do I upload a screen shot from my...
Lemme tell ya; if I could buy the Inwood Golf Course, you better believe I'd set up a spotter's lodging there. I'd charge at the Gaye, too, for non-guests. Who wants the food-stand concession?
Rocket planes no; long range delivery system with a crude nuke - very, very possibly.
A gorgeous piece of machinery. Very Reno worthy.
Is the new and improved garbage dump (ski slope/park) open yet? That's a great area to catch the Canarsie Approach. It's right by the Pennsylvania/Fountain Avenue Avenue exit/entrance, on Shore...
Weird when the shoe is on the other foot. Even if it was over 60 years ago. I'm curious if the Luftwaffe used any of the P-38 technology during the war. Or, even after.
Possibly The Red Caboose, on 23 W.45th Street in Manhattan. This would be between 5th & 6th Aves. Otherwise, I use amazon.com, or scan the adverts in Airliners and Airliner World magazine. I'll...
Is the drag chute for show, or is actually needed on the B-52? Cool pics, btw.
Any link? Is this supposed to be built as a stand-alone or is it replacing one of the terminals or hangars?
Externally ground breaking in terms of destinations and being the first (in most cases) of introducing new technology. Really awful in customer service. The Pan Am Worldport was a mess. Food served...
Did anyone happen to catch and take pictures of a reported JAL 787, that was chartered by NY Yankees pitcher Masahiro Tanaka?
Nice comp video: by chance, would you know if the naval F-4 is privately owned with military markings, or is it still in active service? Those were fuel pods hanging from the hard-points, correct?...
How far back does the NY/NJPA want to extend north? You're only three thousand feet from the houses. Plus, you have to contend with the canal and Rockaway Blvd. National park and environmentalists...
Brings a tear to my to see that beautiful TransAmerica 742 parked way back there. One pic I always wanted to get, but never got around to, was to get an open shutter night shot on Kodachrome 25...
I'm curious, Speedbird1, were you a regular spotter at JFK (the rooftop) back in the early '80s? Have I already asked you this question?
The tail-gunner has the best seat in the House.
Being an "old-timer", I must say seeing the reaction to the OP boggles my mind. It does seem like yesterday when a young spotter, such as myself, could easily glide anywhere throughout the major...
I spotted and traded on the roof-top from '78-'83. Who else was there around that period? Most of my excursions took place on Saturdays and Sundays.
Judging by the live news-feeds it looks like the ceiling/top of the fuselage was on fire before it landed. Sounds silly, but, I wonder if a majority of the empennage was lost beforehand as well. I...
I have to be honest, I wouldn't even care about not catching the LH 748 after seeing and/or getting a pic of the Tu-154. And a cosmonaut training (?) aircraft at that. I'm quite jealous.
Nice catch. I remember seeing the same thing happen to a Pan Am 747SP. The flight landed on 13R at JFK, reversed its thrust and about three seconds afterward the number two engine let out a huge...
Is Interjet another niche luxury airline, or is that particular aircraft on a ferry mission or on lease?
The Jetstar and the pretty much defunct Hansa Jet have to be two of my favorite biz-jets.
