The Eva Cargo 747 used to alternate with the MD-11s. Guess they still bring it in occasionally.
The El Al 767 surprises me. I guess there are still some out there, but its been awhile since they were routine. I beleive they use one for VIP as well.

Why were they using the 31s all day today? The winds were heavily favoring the 22s for the better part of the day.
I am guessing because it caused less delays due to the fact that the runways are between the CTA and that the aircraft that just landed on 22L don't have to wait and cross 22R.

Was that Focus Air that came in from Milan at 3am and snuck out around 6am?
Not an easy catch for yours truly lazy spotter...

"Keep 'em Flying"
Technically I am not allowed to have a camera in the tower, but nobody said I can't use the camera on my Blackberry. I was reluctant to post the shot, but Phil insisted. The A/C was a 747-300 Reg: TF-MAJ. It came East on B to N then on A to F to 22R. It operated XLA124 to Orlando Sanford. It was originally Sked Glascow to SFB, but diverted to JFK for unknown reasons. FlightAware shows it doing a regular service from SFB to Manchester as XLA131. I thought the shot was pretty cool because it shows the tail end of a squall line that moved west to east across the North Channel Bridge thru Rockaway and Long Beach.

If it went to SFB then I wonder if Senga got this one yet
Yes, Senga caught this at SFB a few weeks back...

Thats funny how you mentioned it I got that newly painted XLA 743 just yesterday at SFB. XLA 747-300s are almost daily here. Usually 2 a day sometimes 3 a day. Recently painted. I remember when it was white witha red tail and red engines only AMJ.
Heres the normal TCC colors from a few months ago one AME.
