Great shots everybody. We're still on a "spotting high" which must last for a long time. I am confused about yesterday's SCA route. The NY Post published their own route map which differs from the official map. The Post map shows there was no fly-by over Rwy 31L at JFK; also the SCA is shown to fly eastbound over the Cross-Bronx to Little Neck, thus not passing over LGA. It also shows no fly-over the TRACON at Garden City but instead a sharp turn over Valley Stream into Rwy 31L at JFK. What was the actual route? I think she flew over Staten Island towards EWR rather than flying through Brooklyn. Where can I see an actual route map? Incidentally, I was at Battery Park and noticed EWR using the 4's during the entire procedure. After the SCA's arrival at JFK, EWR switched to a 22 Approach turning into Rwy 29 due to a gusty wind at 320 degrees.

Steve,
How do you get such crisp shots of the T-38? Do you have something to help steady the camera, or were you using a high ISO?

I try not to use the NY post for any reference points.
And I heard that when President Obama saw the map published in the Post he called the pilots personally to have them change the route so as to make the Post look bad!!
BTw are there any areas at JFK where one could see the SCA, stop the car quickly, jump out to snap off a few pics then hightail it out of there?
For Steve's shots.....location, location, location and technique :)
Vinny thanks for the video. That was awesome!!
For any of you that were at the VIP Area for the landing and have shots of the crew flying the American Flag out of the hatch and are interested a friend of mine who was involved in the event is looking to see those shots and trade either a mission patch from the flight or an autographed crew picture for a copy.
If you are interested PM me and I will give you his info, I can't post it online.

The three most common expressions in aviation are, "Why is it doing that?", "Where are we?" and "Oh Crap".
