    Enjoyed Kid's Day w/o any military aircraft or any fly-by's. At least it wasn't canceled like the Coney Air Show. The Thunderbirds claim they don't know why that was canceled but that was already discussed. At least we got to see Trump's B-727 and the Colombian jet. If memory serves, didn't UAL used to have an aircraft on display? I still have their shopping bag somewhere in my house. What disappointed me was that there was no landing/departure of any choppers so my cap could get blown-away like last year. Most importantly, the hot dogs were more tasty than last years', and the shuttle buses were not crowded. Thanks to the NYNJ Port Authority for providing the free parking and all their planning; I always came by public transportation before, which took 3 hours from Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn. The weather was great, too.

    I spotted the "Smiling Jack" PSA aircraft yesterday while hiking around LGA yesterday. I was foolish to think that this aircraft, now used by US Airways, only appears at Kid's Day. Sadly, I never saw the new Jet Blue "NY Jets Green" aircraft. Any ideas how us spotters could find her? So far, I only caught the Philly Eagles aircraft at JFK.

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

    first sighting of a 'UNITED' titled 738 at LGA today. also, first time i ever saw COA's Star Alliance 738 as well. oh, AAL 763 on an equipment sub too... and N777KK; a G-IV with a pretty cool scheme.

    It's N406FJ.

    Dunno what the 8WW is about, but UJC stands for Ultimate Jet Charters, which owns the plane.

    I was just going to post that I saw a North American 757 fly over Prospect Park, at 9:48AM (Nov 13th) towards LGA's runway 4. Was it a charter or a lease?

    She's done the LGA-FLL-LGA routing for Spirit for the last 3 days - I wonder if one of the A321's is out of commission (MX or something)..

    either broken bad or in a scheduled mx check. i think it's more than likely a scheduled check as that would give enough lead time for spirit to set up the charter.

    there are three, yes three, 727s when i left work at 2200 sunday night. VP-BDJ flew in from PBI and VP-BPZ popped in for a surprise visit as well. there was an all-white B727-200 parked by the new fire station as well. also, A6-KAH flew in, she's an Embraer Lineage belonging to the Al Habtoor Group. based on it's rarity i think this is the visitor of the month!
