JFK/LGA - March 3/4

[MarkLawrence]

I know this is 2 weeks away and I don't know about the weather, but, I will be flying up to NY for that weekend - anyone know if they will be around to do maybe one of them on Saturday and the other on Sunday morning? I'm arriving in NY at 8:30am on Saturday morning and leaving JFK at 3pm on Sunday. Hoping there will be some people around to go spotting - weather permitting of course....

[MarkLawrence]

I've taken the plunge on this and booked into the Courtyard at LGA and booked a car as well - printed out my spotting maps - so - now all I have to do is pray that the weather will play nicely for my trip :lol:

[MarkLawrence]

Getting closer to the weekend and it seems as though, although a little cold, it might be partly cloudy - anyone planning on going out this weekend?

[moose135]

I may be out Sunday morning, probably at JFK, depending on winds. I'll post something here Friday if it looks good.

I haven't been out for awhile and I don't think I have much to do this weekend. I still haven't been to Planeview with my 100-400 (or JFK for that matter). If the weather cooperates Saturday or Sunday (maybe both!) and LGA is landing on 4 I'll go to Planeview, expressway visual or localizer 31 I'll go to the marina.

If anybody's going to be out on Saturday, I'll be flying out on American 1165 to Miami. Though I doubt anybody will be out at 7:45 AM :shock:
It's a 762 though, you gotta love photographing the classics!

Mark - Have a great trip and a great time up here in NY. Do some great spotting and I expect to see pictures!

[MarkLawrence]

Thanks Andy - I'll certainly do my best ot enjoy it!! :)

For anyone that is going out, I'll be arriving on jetBlue 830 from PBI at 8:38am - doubt anyone will get any shots of that early arrival on a Saturday :) - but - anyone that will be going out - please - either PM me a cell number or send me a PM and I'll give you mine!

Thanks

I'll be in Vancouver this weekend so no JFK or LGA for me. I'm however driving down to Boeing in Seattle, hopefully it will be nice.

"Classics" - kids these days...

Here's a "classic" for you:

C'mon Moose, everybody knows the 727 is a real classic. But with the 762 being one of my favorites and being dumped by airlines left and right, I figure it's a classic in my book and we should appreciate it all the same :D We sure will miss it when it's gone...

Have a great trip Tommy - bring us back some great Boeing pictures. I've gotta make that trip one of these days.

Hello All! im new to the area and was wondering if anyone is planning on being at JFK this weeknd and would want to show a noob around?

mark.

[Steven Holzinger]

I'm toying with the idea of coming out tomorrow... but I'm not so sure just yet. If I do, it'll be Kennedy.

[Mellyrose]

Mark - When you check in, make sure you ask for a room facing the airport on a high floor. :)

Phil and I stayed at the Wyndham once, and we had a perfect view of LGA....the windows even opened!

[PhilDernerJr]

But, I shuld add that everything else about that hotel was not as exciting. We had a very unpleasant experience.

As for the view, it's good, but you lose your photos to heat haze.

Thanks guys!! Duly noted! and for anyone that is going to be out tomorrow and/or Sunday - my cell number is 561-281-3373 - give me a shout!
