JFK Shootout Sunday 7/13?

[wunaladreamin]

That week just opened up for me, strongly considering taking off Aug 1 for A380 day...she is due in around 4-5 right?

Yeah, I've got the weekend off and Brian's meeting up with me early Friday and spending all day shooting. Come on out for that too!

The A380 is a scheduled 4:45 PM arrival...I'm hoping to be able to leave work early enough to catch it.

Tell your boss you're picking your one-armed uncle up from the airport, and he's got two suitcases.

I actually might bring a couple of co-workers with me...

Will you be gracing us with your presence?

[brontis5]

Actually, I did meet a one armed spotter out at the In-N-Out Burger at LAX last year. He had a cool homemade device attached to the camera, so he could focus and shoot with one hand.

Brian, that's pretty cool! Guess you can't keep spotters from their hobby, no matter what!

It's possible that I might be flying in from Atlanta Friday morning (not sure if I want to come back Friday morning or Thursday night), but I have the day off, so I think I should be up for some spotting and definitely by the time the A380 comes in.

Man, I'd love to get some spotting in.

I work until 4pm, but I have hockey at 7. If you guys are still out, I'll swing by for a short while after work (since I'll already be at the airport). Can one of you PM me a number so I can call to see where you are at that time?

[pgengler]

Looks like they're using the 13s, at least this morning, and with the winds unlikely to get better (the TAF has them getting even more favorable for the 13s), I don't think it's worth the trip out for me today. Maybe some other time when they're on the 22s or 31s.

[PhilDernerJr]

Anyone ever try shooting from The Lefferts Blvd AirTrain station when arriving 13?

Is it worthwhile to try (light, ball breakage,etc)? How does one get there from the Belt?

[PhilDernerJr]

From the Belt, I'm not sure. I know I would get there by taking the Van Wyck south to Federal Circle, and once I'm on the circlego down the road to the right of the BP gas station and follow those roads until I get there. Check out Google Maps and you can easily familiarize yourself with that area.
