    KLGA and KJFK 012509 (TEN photos!)

    Anyone can tell me what is wrong with the first picture?? Look carefully....







    ATIS said "birds in vicinity of airport...."





    This is a REFLECTION in icy water at Bayswater Park





    It started to get windy on 22L approach

    Is that a plane on approach to 22?
    Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem.
    All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control.

    no, it's not a plane. I was standing inside the MALSF approach lights on 4, pre-sunrise.

    nope - 13-31 were closed early AM. HINT: It has to do with the approach lights themselves.

    A bulb is out on the light tower at 12 o'clock in the photo.

    looks to me theres 4 lights instead of five on the right approach lights while the rest has all five on.

    And we have TWO WINNERS!

    Nice observation the both of you! That's it. Actually, I did not notice that until I was walking to my car, enroute to JFK. Then I double-checked my camera and sure enough - bulb burned out.... I bet none of the pilots even noticed. Who looks there? Their eyes are on the PAPI and their instruments.
