    August 1st A380 planning

    So the A380 will be back to NY on August 1st. Anyone know what runway she will be coming in on, or post relevant info regarding this.

    That's a long ways out to be thinkin of that bro. Wind currents and other varibales will determine which rwy they use. Today, 31's have been in use for the first time (that I know of) in forever, so that will be a game time decision.

    More important question is: Who the hell wants to meet up?

    Kenny, what I meant was, which runways can hold the 380. If i remember, only the 13/31's?

    I'm there...haven't decided how I'm getting there though...if anyone wants to coordinate from Brooklyn, let me know...I will probably have access to a car, but if it's just me, I'd rather go straight from work on the LIRR...

    It's a scheduled 4:45 PM arrival, so if it's on-time, we'll probably see it by 4:30...

    Neither was I, but she flew over my house on approach.

    I have the whole day off, so I will definitely be game for a full day of spotting (better get some extra memory cards & batteries now!). If anyone needs a ride, I'll have my truck with scanner built-in.

    Also, FYI, the A380 can use 22L/4R as it is 200 feet wide, but I believe she has also utilized 13R/31L during her first visit here without issue. It will definitely be a "day of" decision as to which runway she will use, so multiple scanners monitoring multiple approach frequencies will be the way to go if you want some set-up time.
