    Ilyushin Il-62 @ JFK

    Right around 9:30 this morning an Ilyushin Il-62 taxiied past T8 & 9 at JFK. It was one of the Russian state owned jets. Very nice. It figures I didn't have my camera with me. I took the Airtrain around the airport, but couldn't find it. Does anyone know what its doing here? If you want to know what it looked like, here's a link to an Anet picture.

    Wow! I haven't seen one of those in years! Too bad he didn't come in last weekend when the whole crew was out spotting.

    last time i saw that i was in the same position, no cam. i went down to JFK to just watch as i had a 6 hour break between classes. she came in on the ILS to 31R and left off of 31L. beautful sight, but most of all beautiful sound!!!
    it is mathematically impossible for either hummingbirds, or helicopters to fly. fortunately, neither are aware of this.
