    What a day. Art Brett, Josh Rawlin, Mark Hsiung, Cary Liao, Fred Miller, Steven Holzinger, John Klos plus the usual cast of characters like Manny, Eric, Mark. Totally epic afternoon. Thanks for the blast guys!

    Here are just a couple, more to come. By the way......Nick and I had a great breakfast at the HoBe diner prior to starting the day (definitely needed a good meal for today's spotting activity)!

    A welcomed surprise.

    There's ANOTHER Gerard?
    Actually I WAS at JFK today. My son came back from Barcelona on AA Flight 67. Around 1:20. Timed it right I only had to circle once before picking him up.

    China Airlines "Dreamliner" Scheme has been around for awhile we just have never seen in daylight at JFK and the Corsair was a charter.

    JFK 4-30-11

    Great to see a ton of people out. The day started out not promising at all in terms of weather. Thankfully it cleared up nicely later on until there was nary a cloud in the sky.


    The first actual direct flight from Osaka Kansai to JFK.

    And just as the sun was about to go down, we were treated to a Corsair 747 from Barcelona.

    Well, since you covered it all, no need for me to post LOL... wow, what a day is all I can say!!

    Finally met Art, and Cary, and Steve, and Josh, and Fred, and Nick was there, and Jose, and Gerard (The Man!!), Senga, Tom, and others I can't remember

    The usual suspects were out too of course, Eric, Mark, Mark, John, where was Chris P.? Probably in Maryland :P. So glad I was able to escape for a few hours! The weather just kept getting better and better! ...what a day!

    Manny, I think you just said it all! As the day went on it just got better and better. Lots of specials today (Dreamliner scheme, Better City/Better Life, 2 DL Skyteams, a USAF BBJ) and the sun came out when it mattered!

    The early posters have covered mostly everything, I dumped the cards last night and passed out. Will try to get a few shots up tonight. Great to see everyone out there again.

    John, I could have sworn the USAF BBJ was far enough for 4L departure it flew over me on Cross Bay as we headed for the China Eastern (which we would have had time to catch anyway since it took long for her to leave)

    I have one more thing to say:

    APUs RULE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
