    Tommy, I will be out there around 2:30. It's supposed to be mostly sunny, with intermittent clouds, so it looks promising!

    We should all remember that, if the 31s are active, Delta often comes in on 31L but sometimes comes in on 31R, thus making it kinda difficult to know in advance where to shoot from. So if the 31s are active, we should all be paying close attention to the scanners and listening to NY Approach to hear what runway its going to. I sure don't want to be that guy sitting at Costco watching Spirit of Delta float down to 31L. :)

    This mornings flight ATL-MCO used a very clever flight number, DL 102, hopefully they will use this call sign through out the tour. If JFK is on the 31's tomorrow crew will probably request 31L so they will roll-out right in front of the DL Terminal as I would imagine many employees will be waiting for her !

    I hope you guys have great luck tomorrow, I will be out on Thursday morning !

    Cheers

    Looks like they will be using 102 for the JFK flights as well (and probably for the whole tour)

    I will be out there between 2:30 and 3:00.

    Everybody bring a scanner, we can all monitor so we don't miss it.

    Winds are SSW right now, with arrivals on 22L.

    Eric, what/where is that place you went to a few blocks away from the Mounds, where you got decent side-on shots of 22L arrivals without having to worry about ticks, mosquitoes and bees?

    Brookville Park, If you walk to the center of the park there is an open area where you can get shots.

    Where is Brookville Park?

    And, do you think it is better than the Mounds?

    Brookville Park is just east of the mounds, continue on 147th ave and it is on your left side if you would be coming from the mounds. If you were able to get up on the mounds I would go there. I would say Brookville park is like shooting from Burger King, same kind of angle.

    You can get to the mounds, that fence really isn't "closed" last I drove by. Lets hope they change runways before she comes in and the sun comes out.

    Hey guys, she left FLL a lttle late

    http://flightaware.com/live/flight/DAL102

    about 4 plus hours late, with the circle flight at CVG I am guessing she may be a little late arriving at JFK ?

    Once your at your spot and do not have computer access you can call DL Res at 1-800-221-1212. I could not get flt 102 to work yesterday in the auto system but when the young lady in India picked up she updated times for MCO-FLL. I will be in and out this afternoon, mostly out but if I see anything I will call Josh's cell with a times update !

    Good Luck guys and Happy Spotting !

    Ron

    This kinda sucks. As of right now (12:33), N102DA is still 30 minutes out of CVG. When it lands there it has the ceremony and 45-minute employee flight before departing for the flight to JFK. And Ron's info is now showing a nighttime arrival. Those greedy people down in FLL will be to blame! :)
