    I stopped by HoBe on my way back to get the sunset. I'm too tired to edit for real, and I couldn't quite do the sunset justice without my tripod, but here's a teaser:

    At that point, I figured they were still putting them on the 31s, so I figured I'd hurry back over to Firestone so as not to miss anything. It wasn't until after I was already on the way back that I realized they'd changed to the 4s and so I had to turn around (again).

    Hi - This is newbie Rich again - what's the trick for keeping up-to-date on what runway the A380 will come in on? I was lucky to catch her coming in Friday from a spot on Rockaway, and a distant view Sunday from the Costco parking lot, but really had no clue where she'd come in either day. I usually check this forum before I leave my home to see what runway you experts say are being used, but that's about 2 hours before ETA. I plan on going out to see her land as much as possible...do I have to keep guessing?

    Just call 718-995-8188 and you'll hear a recording of the current runway usage and weather conditions at JFK.

    While I am not thrilled with its looks, I am overly impressed with its wings. Look at the wings in the air and how quickly they sag, and become.....so....flaccid on landing!! :shock:
    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.

    Nice shots, Mario! I really noticed the wing droop when I saw the news helicopter footage of Friday's landing, it was quite obvious how they sagged upon landing.

    Great shots everyone.

    Also, if anyone would like like a brief lesson on how to make a watermark that actually looks pretty good, shoot me a pm. It's actually very easy. :)

    Is that faded red on the front or is it intentional orange? MI woudl like that plane so much more if it wasn't like that. I think it makes the plane look like bad.
