What is the A380's full flight plan for the following week. Chicago tomorrow but does it ever come back to JFK?
"lol retart"
It comes back to JFK on Wednesday.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem.
All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control.
I trust you are not in too much distress. —Captain Eric Moody, British Airways Flight 9
anyone know which runway.. looking like there coming over rockaway now??.. but will that runway be long enough
"You above all"
Length isn't a problem, the only possible question is width.
That's what she said.
The FAA suggests using 200ft wide runways, and as posted earlier, 4R/22L is the only 200ft wide runway at JFK. That happens to be the runway in use right now, so it looks like that's where she'll be landing.
Also, both 13/31 runways are closed.

I'm going to see it tomorrow if I can, otherwise I'm going over to LGA for a session.

They have switched the runway to use 22. So the 380 is for sure going to land on 22L
It's orbiting low and slow at 5000FT at 200kts over the south shore to land at 1210-1215pm
Looks like she landed at 12:00 on the dot as originally planned.

For those of us who can't make it, LH 8940 landed at 12:00pm. Welcome to Big Apple!
And quite a sight it was:
Great shot, Greg.
