    PAA 727 Comes Back Home!! (with pics @JFK)

    Went spotting at JFK today with Nick V and we were sitting along 13L and in the distance I see smoke trailing from a plane so naturally I'm like "hmm smoke...... this could be interesting". She gets a bit closer and I see a T Tail, so I'm like "NICK 727!!!" Then as she gets closer I'm like "HOLY **** THATS PanAm!!!!!!!!" So I click away. I can't tell you how cool it was to see that awsome billboard fly right past us as she came back home to JFK!! This was certainly the highlight of the day. Here's some pics, wish the lighting was better but anyway its a PAA 727 at JFK its totally cool.

    Nice shots Tommy!
    I was on the other side of the plane when it came in. I am suprized I didn't see another guy taking pix. I was there for the Eurofly, Mexicana A318 and the PAN AM 727. I TOTALLY forgot about nthe 727 comming in and didn't have my camera ready. It took off almost as son as it landed.

    it is mathematically impossible for either hummingbirds, or helicopters to fly. fortunately, neither are aware of this.
