There was a large brigade of police/Fed vehicles that shot by me so I backed away.\

Motorcade Madness on the Upper east side especially today. We were on the patio of our job watching one motorcade come down
Lex Avenue in traffic, sirens wailing and Suburbans cutting off cars and agents hanging out windows. You can tell how important the
diplomat is by the size of his motorcade, whether crossing traffic is stopped or if PD is flying overhead.
All very cool.

You mean like this?

Great stuff Eric! Any explanation on the KC-135? Where was that?

They are doing CAP missions over NYC... There are KC10s supporting the mission as well...

If it isnt a secret, may I ask what altitude they are at? :?:[/quote:3mhe2bzk]

I've been hearing those "Fast Movers" pretty constantly this week. If anyone is interested and has a scanner, heard numerous comms last night on 228.9.

Eyballed an IL-96 on long, high final to 22L over the north shore of Nassau County at 19:00 this evening.

Eyeballed a second IL-96 at @ 0945 this morning on LOW final to 22R. This one was low enough to make out the letters RA on the underside of the right (starboard??) wing.

Private 727-100 VP-BPZ landed at JFk from OPF and is scheduled to depart to IAD. Not sure if that's UN traffic.

Seems that the only way to get good shots at SWF is on landing/takeoff or if one has ramp access, bummer


IL-76 very nice :borat: maybe next year..

From Nigel Prevett in Orlando.. VQ-BDD as RJA500 is enroute to JFK as I type!

all the best..

Guess the JASDF 744, IL76 and 96 will have to wait 'til next year! :?

[pinktristar]

great summary Pinkstristar. Most planes at SWF are too cluttered to be shootable no?

IL-76 very nice :borat:

There are only a few where a reasonable picture can be taken, as seen by the Zimbabwe and A6- 737 that I posted last night. The other aircraft were either parked behind buildings - such as the Polish Tu154 :-( or too far away.. The Algerian, and Libyan buses were parked near the fuel farm and I would seriously suggest not pulling out a camera to try for a photo in that area!!!! (I do have a photo of 5A-ONE at Logan so I wasnt overly bothered I couldnt get one yesterday!).

The Swedish Biz, like the Monaco and Croation were against the chainlink, so werent in the best positions either..

Since I also take the tailnumbers, being unable to photograph too many of the airliners wasnt the huge disappointment it may be for someone who's priority IS the photo!

Regards, and thanks for the kind words folks!

Swf is very easy to me. been going there since 2002 and never had a problem getting a shot. There are lots of spots to get planes from. Its the easiest apt in the area.

And the presidents plane arrives

Hi pinktristar, I would've jumped the fence and "streaked naked on the ramp" to get a picture of 5A-ONE

just kidding

As far as regs go, those can found later. The Zimbabwe 767 was Z-WPF as seen from the underside of the wings when it took off from JFK

* INTERESTING VIP ALERT *

Someone posted hearing a transmission of TZ-TAC, Mali govt. 707, possibly arriving this afternoon or early evening to ...JFK? Unfortunately no titles and a rather boring BBJ-style livery with N88ZL-like nacelles. But still a 707. Possibly something that can make Senga happier after another "depressing" UNGA session LOL

[diegodangers]

had a mexican air force 757 at EWR today.
