United Nations General Assembly 2007

[Iberia A340-600]

Hi, do you guys know whether any of today's (Sun, Sept 23rd) arrival will be heading to SWF? I am thinking about going to SWF in the next few days. Based on your experience, is it worthwhile heading there early in the week or later?
Thanks in advance.

I'd head up to SWF on either Tuesday or Wednesday. Visit the SWF Daily Report thread to see what was there today.

More is on its way tomorrow and Tuesday.

yea, that's a lot for secrecy...but if anyone noticed my previous posting...noone was suppose to know that.....:....aren't you glad ya know me.Hey lets play guess where the iranian crew is sleeping tonite

do you like to feel important/special? you havn't said anything thats a secret, just tooting your own horn, is it really necessary?

Well I'm to tired to even edit really any of my pics but I have to say what a fantastic day at JFK, tons of VIPs and of course our good friend from Persia showed up. For me the sheer fact that the President of Iran a sworn enemy of our country was on it was very surreal to me.

Great group out today I think at our peak we had 15 or 16 people and 11 cars! Awesome to see so many good friends out enjoying the weather, VIPS, and each other's company. The did Police show up twice, once at Bayswater (NYPD) and the at Firestone (NCPD) but man talk about cool cops! NCPD didn't even get a call they just stopped by to say hi and BS a bit, really great officers, they loved the C5 pics we got. Nice to see we've finally made a connection with local law enforcement. They know who we are and finally know why we enjoy our hobby. All in all one of the best days of spotting for me.

So I slept in this morning, and missed some good early arrivals...but I did manage to get to Firestone for the afternoon - we had a huge group out today, good to see everyone. Here are my highlights:



Nigerian Air Force BBJ, with the presidential seal on the tail.


And the big one...

Great shots Moose!

Seconding John, I too send the morning in the shade with Sebastian, then headed in with the family. Really nice photos John!

What a really nice gathering of folks, fun and laughter. It was a pleasure to meet some new people out there and put more names to faces.

And we even saw Brittany Spears 747, which was almost as big a highlight as the
747SP :mrgreen:


Might head out to see POTUS tomorrow in the afternoon but she always comes in on 31L....

FoxNews is saying "Iran's incendiary president makes stealth arrival in New York City amid tight security." Right. We all knew ahead of time!

I then clicked on "photos" and saw nothing even taken today. One of you should sell your pics!

Hoping the heads up as aircraft passed over New England was a help for you down in the city!

Will make the trek to mop up the pieces on Tuesday!

I reccomend it. I will act as your agent for a very small fee on the order of say 5% per shot, ;)

Did anyone catch the serial of the French Air Force Falcon that arrived around 230pm?

Over the top near Providence! It was 4 !!

The little reject is at the Intercontinental Hotel during his stay. That did not escape fox news.

Was that really necessary? We get your point, you don't like him. Nobody does. So let's stick to the topic.
There is also some good stuff around DC that might be heading your way in the next couple of days. Check it:

IAD:
- Afriqiyah A340-213 (5A-ONE)
- Equatorial Guinea BBJ (3C-EGE) (this might already be at SWF or JFK..)
- French Air Force A310 (F-RADB)
- French Air Force A319 (F-RBFB) (departed to JFK today)

ADW:
- Turkish Gvmt A319 (TC-ANA)
- Brazilian Air Force C130H and E145LR (2467 and 2550 respectively)

I'm stuck on the other side of the country, but I look forward to seeing lots of shots this week - great pics Moose!! :)

Greets,
-Omar S.

Thanks for the heads up, Omar!! Hope all is well.

Omar, the Guinea BBJ arrived at SWF around 6:30pm today. I saw 5A-ONE was scheduled to come into SWF a couple of days ago and never showed, apparently it's canceled now. Hoping she'll make a surprise visit!
