NCPD is very... overzealous.
I was at Bayswater Point State Park for UN week. Thankfully, we met a planespotting cop there who saved us a load of hassle. We were spotting when the (NY Parks)...
I had a run-in with an overzealous PANYNJ employee at the Airtrain station in Terminal A. She was screaming and yelling at me that photos were not allowed. There was a police officer downstairs...
Anyone get the Italian one? I think I got a really bad heat hazy photo of it, but I won't be editing those for a while since I have a backlog.
Has anyone here ever been to EWR family day? It's an event where United has aircraft open to the public at EWR, and sponsors a plane pull for the Special Olympics. It's an annual event. For those...
Hello everyone, BOS based spotter here. I'm trying to put together a trip to JFK for UN week spotting (particularly the exotics). Does anyone know exactly when UN week is, and which date(s) would...
Reminds you of jetBlue? It essentially is! David Neelman (founder of jetBlue) founded Azul after leaving jetBlue. Azul means blue in Portuguese!
Since this is not advertised, how does I get to the event if I fly in? Will there be signs?
AF1 will be at ORH Wed June 11. The president is speaking at Worcester Technical High School's graduation.
I was told it will be leaving Wednesday morning, but no one seems to know what time.
I was there that day! I didn't take any photos with a camera though (I'm not sure if the Port Authority or TSA would allow it without questioning me).
I was at Terminal 5. I got a decent shot of...
I'm up for it! I'll be away for a couple weeks, and won't be back in Boston until March 25th, but I can spot on the 27th (Wednesday), and maybe the weekend depending on my work schedule.
I'm not sure if it's temperature/heat/air distortion or if its the sensor on my camera. It's a standard sensor so I think it may have been the atmospheric conditions that caused the blur.
I was looking at Flightaware on my way to class and realized that Aer Lingus was due in. I ran outside between the Campus Center and Wheatley Hall and got these shots:
Aer Lingus A330-300 EI-DAA...

Tried spotting with my new Canon 70-300mm f/4.0-5.6L today. Some of the photos turned out great!
These first few shots were taken from UMass Fallon Pier. I am a student at UMass Boston and I...
We got some goodies coming to KBOS!

The 777-300ER was delivered unpainted. The new AA livery still has not been released yet.
If AA and US merge though..... It may look something like this

How big of a lens are you using? Where do you spot from? I am thinking of going spotting at JFK, but the spotting guide suggests that most locations require more than a 300mm (my 75-300mm isn't...

I was spotting with a friend and the group he belonged to on Saturday. One of the members in the group was able to get a permit for the garage at Terminal B, so we got some nice shots from up there!...
Where do you spot at DCA? I will be there on Monday (connecting flight). There's a 2 hour connection time so if the security lines don't look too long, I might be able to leave the airport and spot...
What is that Porter aircraft? I saw it (or one of a similar type) landing at KBOS on Tuesday and I said to myself, "Wow, that's the largest turboprop I've ever seen"
Thanks for responding, Mark. If I have an hour and a half connection time, will airport officials/security have a problem with me walking around taking photos of aircraft?
I know of...
