September 16th/17th. - Spotting@JFK

[PhilDernerJr]

It was hardly hazy by any means! You should have come out!

Planeview was as packed as I've ever seen. Before 9am, we already had 16 peole there. A little bit later, we had 19.

A great day, gorgeous weather, adn those new benches are a godsend. Those benches reinvented Planeview.

Great seeing all of you!

Got some nice shots of the large crowd today....lots of new faces and plenty of familiar ones, too! :)

These are some of what I got today:

Wow! Awesome shots Phil! Nice group shots Mel!

I wish I could have gone out yesterday but I had a soccer game. Hoping to get out tommorow to SWF to see some VIP's but I've just come down with the flu so I hope I can head out tommorow.

Wow, Mel....those group shots are awesome! Thanks for snapping a few with me in the picture...I appreciate it! :)

Today was quite possibly one of the best spotting days in a long, long time. Lots of friends, lots of sunshine, and lots of airplanes at two airports. We even saw a whole bunch of VIP aircraft arrive on 13L at JFK (MEA A330, South African BBJ, Air Zimbabwe 767-200, Thai A346, Bahrain 744).

Looking forward to next time!

Great shots guys, now I wish I had gotten to LGA this morning - looks like you had just about the entire NY spotting community out there.

Spent the afternoon at JFK, now I have about 900 shots to go through. As Josh said, we got a bunch of great stuff this afternoon, looks like a lot of UN visitors. It was good seeing everyone out today...gotta go post-process now!

[Futterman]

Holy smokes! I remember the big groups we had last summer, but it looks like this one takes the cake. Looking forward to seeing the VIPs...including the IL-62 you all shot.

Well, almost all of you. :)

Forget NY, Moose. Looked like the whole world was there, especially with Art's German friends and Jay Selman with his buddy from the UK.

Can't wait to get back home,

[MarkLawrence]

Yes - that's her...nice shots Moose! Thanks!

Now I'm really regretting not coming out today.

Oh well.

Great shots, everyone!

Nice shot of the Thai Moose! Thanks for the reg, I'll try and get some shots of her at SWF tommorow.

Got a bunch more to process, but that's it for tonight!
