Overnight Planes We Never See

[mirrodie]

I've seen the polished CX. Is that the ONLY polished one?


Is this a regular night arrival?

YEah SENGA.. The China Airlines A340. That was a great catch.

It came in nearly at 9pm. A tough catch but doable, just barely, a couple of years back. I remember June/July full of late afternoon clouds, and then having one shot at it, but unfortunately it went to 13R at the last moment. Oh well.. Glad you got it at least, like so many others to represtent NYC.

What will be nice this year, beyond China Eastern A340 and Ethiad, will be LAB flights to Cuba if they are continuing...(but maybe they're already gone?).

Air3000 seems to be tough one, as does NCA, but hopefully there will be a couple of opportunities one way or another this summer.

BWIA (Now Caribbean Airlines) is a regular evening arrival, and should be visible during the summer.

the BR freighter at JFK is an MD-11...the passenger flights only go to EWR anymore. but thanks for the NCA pic...they seem to spend more time on the ground on weekends...esp Sun....during the week they're pretty much on schedule.

-Yea maybe that was my b-day wish =P

-Is it me or are all of CX planes rlly dirty?

- The BWIA plane is amazing?

How about OA when do they arrive always wanted to catch that greek bird- and LOT too never seen them when I was at JFK last.


- I got lucky though in 2003 when i seen a Royal Jordanian A 340-200 landing at 22R- it was a new plane for them at the time.

Yes its you... I've flown CX four times in the last two weeks, their planes are spotless in and out.

I've gotten a few of the elusive ones.

The China Eastern was 15 Feb, right after the storm that crippled jetBlue.
The BA 772 is there in the am quite often.
Cathay Pacific was just really lucky, but it used to be there every once in a while.
