    it is mathematically impossible for either hummingbirds, or helicopters to fly. fortunately, neither are aware of this.

    Why land at EWR? I would think JFK is more preferable because of its longer runway and less traffic, at least compared to EWR. I notice EWR is a favorite stop over point for a few other odd balls such as Ethiopian 737 deliveries, biz jets and so on...
    Spotters have been Homeland Security before HS was a glimmer in the president's eye.

    Nice catch, Bill. I believe it was flying to CMN and then onto Saudia Arabia, quite a weird routing!

    Thanks guys, I was glad to finally catch the SP since is does come fairly often. Always when I wasn't able to make it out.

    I guess an 11,000 foot runway isn't enough? It's not the space shuttle we're talking about here and I believe JFK was busier traffic wise then EWR in 2007. But thats irrelavant. Likely comes to EWR since they have Signature flight services and is closer to Manahattan. The Port Authority handles most GA and non airline traffic at Kennedy I believe.

    when you've got money to burn i guess it's no problem to pay signature. and yes, JFK's GAT is run by the PANYNJ. also, i'm pretty sure that EWR has more ramp space than the GAT at JFK.
