First Spitfire landed about 9 am
For a short while the 747-200s were also used at night as trainers for the USAF 747 crews. A/c would arrive from NRT and that night operate as trainer for a few hours then return for am NRT...
Tri Star not in service till 72. Looks like DC-8 with the small section of flap that remained up a few degrees to clear jet exhaust
United put a 767-200 on its nose after maintenance at JFK inside hgr 4. Mechanic turned hydraulics on with gear handle in up position. Borrowed lifting airbags from PAN AM and repaired on sight. It...
I have one here in Massapequa Park. Let me know if you want to borrow it. [email protected]
North American made Sabreliners (t-39). Lockheed was Jetstar
That must explain the Dover based C17 that loaded two limos and two Suburbans at Hgr 19 JFK earlier tonight. Left around 2330. So much for saving fuel!
Im sure it was the skytypers. I was on New Highway About 3:45 and pulled over to watch a Corsair depart. Just after he left (Sweet) the 6 texans taxied out grouped up on 32 and took off.
Sent the wife to FLL on Spirits second day. Fare was $19 each way just over $60 with taxes. Now looks like cheapest is $69. Special fare was cheaper than using my UA passes. Strange when dropping her...
Yes the BA Concorde was prepared for display at Hgr 19. Fluids drained , engines removed. It was then towed to a corner of JFK loaded on a barge for the float to NYC. Hgr 19 also housed the AF...
Last I saw of it was a few years ago rampside behind the British Airways cargo facility at JFK. Was in a number of sections out in the elements. Hope it found a home. Heard they tookdown the Concorde...
Can't remember for sure how many gates. Highest numbered gate was 16. Stockroom was under 14. Don't recall how many were in active use.
Wow ! What memories. I worked in that terminal from 74 to 89 along with hangar 9. First shot behind the Electra, silver door were the stairs down to my old cave the stockroom. All that time never...
I remember watching as she was broken up in the parking lot at the mall. My dad and I both worked for Eastern at the time. I think this was the 7 that sat at LGA without a rudder for quite a long...
I think this goes back to the days when Lockheed Air Services were located over near where the post office facility is now. They used to service the air force VIP aircraft. Also used to see military...
The Dreamlifter is parked on the Evergreen ramp (old KLM cargo) at JFK tonight. Heard it's leaving in AM. Another no camera night. Sure towers over other EZ 747s on ramp
I think they had hoped to use that runway for STOL aircraft. Pilgrims Twin Otters. Eastern evaluated a 4 engine MD/french STOL aircraft at JFK. Not sure if they tried the short runway with it. I...
Glacier Girl is on the Oshkosh Airventure program July 28 as the subject 'warbirds in Review" subject aircraft. They schedueled it lati in the Airventure week to allow for any delays returning. Great...
UA has a 757 at JFK awaiting an engine change after a compressor stall. 767 must be backup
Was great meeting you. Went over budget again this year. I missed having a show at Newark this year and made up for it at Mike Chews table and at Buchair. 1/200th UA DC-8 and a BAF Carvair ( I'm a...
No Parking/No stopping/bus stop that kind of thing It can be confusing. Most of the street seems fine though if you can find a space. If not try long term parking. It's cheaper and I believe there is...
Some employees park free on the 'hill' (Ditmars Blvd by the Mariott and then walk the bridges to work. Watch the signs though if you do though. Good luck with orientation
Just passed by FRG on New Highway. It's a Fedex 727-200 between Hgr 4 and the air museum. People were gathering for the event in the parking lot by the old Jillians. Time was about 10:10 am.
I remember EA operating A-300 at LGA. Port Authority had a taxi speed restriction on the RW 22 pier. There was a taxi speed indicator on the instrument panel to monitor this. Yes a few crews got...
