Someone bring a macro lens so you can see the sticker ;)

Have fun out there guys.

I'm going out this afternoon...if JFK switches to the 31s, I assume I'll see a few of you in the Firestone parking lot. If not, and if LGA is still on EXP31, I might check out the Worlds Fair Marina...the Mets are away this weekend.

The Mets are away but the US Open may affect parking their !

LGA still on the Exp visual 31 as of 1300 Saturday.

JFK is splitting arrivals between 13L and 22L, with winds favoring 22L...What do we think the chances are of them staying this way? Worth a trip to the Mounds? Or am I going to have to find something else to do this afternoon? :)

One question. If winds are from the south, which runway will be in use at JFK for arrivals and which for departures?

Yep the winds are toward the south for the late afternoon-evening so they will be using 22L. I will be at the mounds from 3-7pm.

They will usualy use 13R for departures, 13L for domestic/some heavy arrivals, and 22L for european arrivals.

Around 1430 LGA started landing on 22 (still departing 13 Flushing Climb) and the AA Retro 738 paid us a welcome visit plus two Songs within an hour of each other.
