Hey Mr. 350D,

I know I'll be out bright 'n early both days...probably some LGA in the morning then JFK around noon time. A big group like the last weekend would be fantastic, especially since some representatives from the DCA/IAD area will be in our neck of the woods.

Hey everyone. :) I'm hoping to come up to NYC one of these weekends, right now I'm thinking of the 16-17, and I'm coming from the Philadelphia area but I don't drive so I'm taking the train up. Unfortunately, I really can't afford a hotel room or anything and I'm hoping someone who is spotting this weekend might let me "crash" with them for a couple days, as well as wouldn't mind driving me to and possibly from the amtrak station? I've never done spotting before so I've been eager to see what it's all like and been wanting to meet up with everyone. I can be reached by sending me an e-mail over the forum or DarkFire47 on AIM. Thanks!

I just want to say to all that if I was able to, I'd put Mike up.

Mike is the programmer for the site and is THE reason this message board even exists. I'd trust him with a lot, and you folks can, too.

It would be great to have him around this coming weekend.

Hey Guys,

I can confirm 3 people from DC on Saturday July 16.
We are planning to depart DC around 5am (driving), and arrive at JFK around 10am.

Where should we meet? I know only spot near 31R at Costco, and soccer field near 22. What if they are landing on 13s and 4s? I have no clue where to go.
Last time I was able to find those spots thanks to great map that I've got from Mike M.

Is AF still using B777-300 on Saturday afternoon flight?

Count me in for sure for 16/17. I was at EWR Sunday and what looked like a Continental 777 from a distance. It had a blue and yellow paint scheme. I wasn't able to get a pic of it but does anyone know what paint scheme this is? I've never seen it before. Very cool. Bottom line is I have a real basic camera setup. Not like you guys with the long lenses and all. And I was above terminal 2 at the Airtrain station. So I would have been shooting through glass also. When I noticed the plane it was already at the far end taxiing for departure. My camera does great when I'm real close to what I'm shooting.

I'd like to get out on Saturday (possibly Sunday too) since it sounds like we're gonna have another big group.

[protonv5]

That's it!! I knew that if anybody knew you guys would! I think that's a cool paintscheme. I am not sure of the signifigance of it though. And 2000? I would have thought comthing occuring in 2000 the paintscheme would have been changed by now. Any thoughts? Thanks for finding the pic though!

I think I am all free this Saturday and very eager to meet everyone. I only know one of the spots and thats the costco one but I worked at JFK and know the place like the back of my hand. I'll figure out where they are. Let me know if you guys plan to meet someplace.

I'm still planning on heading out... but I think my plans to stay with a friend of mine in Long Island are pretty much fading...so I don't know what I'm going to do.
