Will any of the A380's be at Frankfurt on Sunday? I have a friend whose flying from FRA on Sunday - he said he'd try to get a photo of one of the A380's for me. Hopefully there's going to be one there!

Some great shots guys. We lucked out with the WX for this event. It wasn't looking so pretty last week. Today was perfect. Here's one of my arrival shots, returning from the press tour...landing 4R. The flyby on 13R was just horrible, can't believe he did it so high...disappointing.

The schedule someone posted here last week has it leaving JFK around 2200 (10pm) tonight, although that's probably a little flexible. This airframe is scheduled to go from Frankfurt to Hong Kong at the end of the week, and from there to Dulles on Sunday.

The runways changed for both its departure and arrival-leaving seconds to get her.

eric8669 and myself almost had a bumper car experience, Matt was drag racing on Rockaway Blvd and I almost twisted the engine in my Jeep into a pretzel.

I'm officially all A380ed out.
Goodbye and good riddance.

A380 ~ "THE BIG UGLY"

HAHAHA I was not drag racing on Roackaway Blvd....I do believe you passed me :lol: . On Mott Ave, however...

I was just um testing out the engine on my moms new suv ha....

Mike is right...it was a complete Mess....I never thought we would be able to make it back to bayswater from the cargo lots - however we did and i managed to wipe out and cut my leg up running into the park - but I still got the shots! I'll post pics later on...

It was good to see everyone again today. Too bad it was so short... oo and Mike...it was Joe Statz and Chris Eggers...

Night from Daytona,
Matt

Well despite the bitter cold the first hour and frustrating runway changes this morning was a lot of fun. Since I became a Dad almost 6 months ago I don't get out at all making today and Monday very special for me. Seeing old friends and meeting new fellow spotters was by far the highlight for me. My little Sony H1 does not stand a chance against all the Cannons and Nikons that where present this morning especially with the distance involved so no a.net or JP action from me but I did manage to squeak out one Mediorce quality and interest exclusive shot just out of dumb luck at Hangar 19.

BTW for anyone not aware the JP Hot Photo gift is over, you will get a rejection !

Never even saw the flyby and can't believe it landed on 4R after all, glad a few of you managed to get back in time.

For those who attended this morning thanks for the great company !

Nice shots,
Seems like you all had a classic JFK Senga experience!

I think I ran though a total of 5 lights to get a plane one time. Based what what I have heard I think it was better than I wasn't there for the 3rdday. Who knows what would have happened if on more car was intruduced into the chaos.
