    I know tomorrow is X-mas eve.....

    Hey Everybody,
    I know tomorrow is Christmas Eve but is anyone else planning on heading (to JFK) out for some spotting during the day time before all the festivities?
    The weather is supposed to be pretty good.

    I might, it depends on how good the WX is. Went out last Christmas Eve and it turned out to be a pretty good day.

    I would consider going out for some spotting if the weather is good (read: above 40 degrees) :)

    Actually, I didn't even think about it until this post.

    I have patients until 11 or 12 then go to tht gym for 2 hourrs or so.


    So Im up for after noon (literally ) spotting.

    We'll see!
    And I, I took the path less traveled by
    and that has made all the difference......yet...
    I have a feeling a handle of people are going to be very interested in what I post in the near future.

    The temp. means nothing to me as long as I have a couple spare batteries laying around.
    I just need clear skies and I'm happy.
    Here is a link to the weather for JFK tomorrow morning.

    The winds are supposed to be out of the SW so would that put the 22's or 31's in use?

    If the 22s are in use I'll prob hit up Bayswater for some departures shots, if the 31s are in use I'll be heading to Hobe. I can't stay out to late because so I'll prob be out until 2 ish then off to my family's Xmas eve dinner.

    I'm really liking the forecast for tomorrow...if I can get to sleep early enough tonight, I'd seriously consider a sunrise trip to HoBe or North Woodmere Park...I can't stay too long though, because I should probably get to work by 11 :P

    A little heads up for tomorrow:

    LH410 will be operated by an A340-600 tomorrow rather then the normal A330-300 for this time of year. ETA is 2:30pm.

    I will most likely be heading out tomorrow.

    Eric, If I come out, it be after noon, but I'll ring you.

    I'm assuming we'll probably have some extra traffic, judging by the delays and cancellations I've heard of on hte radio.

    Extra traffic is always a plus.
    I'll be out in the early morning.
