C-32 overhead Brooklyn flying NNE @1045 Saturday. D300s with 300 f/4, still had to crop a lot and it...

Italian spotters? As a Milanese in New York, I'm curious. Drop me a line at alberto.riva at gmail and maybe I'll come out. Cheers! - AR

Unlike Manny (whom I haven't met yet, am looking forward to that) I was luckily on the correct side of that 96. I was out in Bayswater alone and with no idea that it was in town, and was gobsmacked...

Hi Joe, there was another NYCAv'er hidden in the reeds... me. I was about, uhm, 500ish yards east of your position. You took some good shots in crappy light conditions. I put a couple of mine on my...

I'm another one of the D200 lovers here. Pair of good old 200s for planes & wildlife, most often with the 300/4 AF-S lens and all three converters -- TC-14, 17 and 20, not all at the same time :) The...

Great variety! I really like the Otter -- nothing says "Pacific Northwest" to me like a floatplane and heavily forested slopes. And I'll never get tired of Seattle shots with Mt Rainier looming in...

What does an airplane photographer do when it's super windy and clear and they are landing on the 4s at JFK, but he only has time in the late afternoon when everything is backlit? Take the A train to...

Got up at 6 and yes, it was hazy indeed -- I called the JFK ATIS which poetically said there was "mist". Nicer sounding than haze but still an unphotographable soup of humid smoggy crapness, so I...

All right! Thanks, that is very useful indeed. I'll most likely be at LGA for the Biden arrival and JFK for AF1 departure. Subject to weather...

I'm going to try and catch AF1 and/or AF2 tomorrow. Anybody wants to join me, welcome!

I would imagine 747 and helos at JFK plus C-17s for the limos, and 757 or smaller at LGA with the VP. If I...

I was at Bayswater Pk. the same day and caught some of the same stuff as Eric -- only taking off, not landing. Tried some extreme handholding with a 300/4 and a 2x converter. That pushes you up to...

Went Friday 4/2 and got there late for my taste (9.45) as I walked from the Mott Av subway station. Let's just say that the walk is an interesting experience in urban sociology -- one during which...

Not another Brit in the NYC area??[/quote]

Nope! :) Made in Milan, Italy -- about 5km north of rwy 36 at LIN. The Tridents & 1-11s were the BA LHR flights. They switched to 757s when I was in...

Fair point.... however I'm probably the one resident of the area who bought a house here precisely *because* it was under the approach path to LGA. Morning coffee on the roof deck with a 300... yeah!...

Very good exercise in a difficult subject: How to make Southwest 737s interesting. The birds flocking around the eagle would make a perfect illustration for a story on birdstrikes. Get that one on...

Remember the controversy a few years back when a group of Middle Eastern musicians on a US domestic flight caused a stir (including allegations of a "terror dry run") by behaving in a manner that was...

Ugly. Just ugly. Or as we say in Italian, brutto.

AZ had the best logo bar none in the history of modern industry, a perfect example of timeless design from 1970 (nineteen SEVENTY! Must be a...

Time for historical irony: remember the Japan-bashing of the 1980s, when Americans reacted to what seemed at the time to be widespread buying of US assets by the Japanese? It didn't happen. Japan,...

Really nice. Number two is a classy shot. And the fourth one? I'm guessing Italian AF 767 tanker before engine & boom installation?

Nice and sharp photos.

I called ATIS at 1100 and it said 22L arrivals, so I didn't go because I was going to go by subway, and Inwood/Bayswater for 31L was my only option. ARGGH. I'm happy...

For any NYCav'ers interested in photographing AF1 at JFK today, ETA is 3:30 according to the presidential schedule posted here http://www.cbsnews.com/blogs/2009/10/20 ... ontentBody

Hi everybody -- I'm a new addition to NYCA and happy to be here. Some of you may have seen my shots on A.net.

It was my first time at a Kids Day, and yes one does feel like a kid in a candy...
