JFK 8/3 (now with review & some pics)

[pgengler]

With a tip that Wunala Dreaming should be coming, and the fact that I couldn't get today off to go spotting, I'm hoping to get out to JFK this Sunday. The early forecasts have the windows looking favorable (NW becoming more westerly) and the storms predicted for Saturday should be out of the way. Anyone else interested in meeting up?

I'll probably head out at some point...not sure when though.

i will probably be there if the weather holds up.

I will definitely be out for the A380 and Wunala if the weather is ok... :evil:

One or more of my co-workers might come out too...

If you can I would appreciate you capturing my departure: Finnair Flight 6, departing at 17:45. Thanks!

[stuart schechter]

I'll be out.

And me too, thanks for mentioning that Stuart ;)

I plan to head out tomorrow also, It's been almost 3 years since I last spotted at JFK and I think I'm long overdue for some actions!

If anyone wants my cell number, PM me.

So with Wunala coming in around 1700 and Emirates Whalejet at 1645,
I might bring out the family for a nice afternoon.

Who is coming out for sure?

And any updates on the WX, winds, runway and where to spot in the afternoon?

[pgengler]

weather.com predicts NW winds in the morning, becoming W in the early afternoon (accuweather.com has NW becoming WNW). Hopefully this means they're on the 31s in the morning for departure shots at HoBe and then arrivals at Firestone in the afternoon (if they're still on the 31s) or the Mounds if they've switched to the 22s at that point. I'll definitely be out from the morning on. (Feel free to give me a call to figure out what's up.)

[N221UA]

It's been a while since I've been to JFK, do they still do 22L/R and 31R for arrivals at the same time? Or is it just either 22 or 31?

[adam613]

The NWS forecast has them on the 31s all day...I'll hopefully roll out early-to-mid afternoon...
