Guess who's coming to dinner? Iran Air 707

[727C47]

This was wild. After this, I'm really thinking about switching to video. These photos we all got almost do NOTHING for the experience of hearing that plane pass us. What a sound. I was pretty blown away.

My second favorite part was the smoke. I was watching with binoculars at the stream of smoke. I always wish I was born 20-30 years sooner, and that's why!

Here's one of my shots.



Glad I got to share the experience with so many people!!! Big thanks to Mario for the heads up! None of this would have happened without him.

Phil,I know, when I was a kid in the 60's and 70's the sheer scream from those 1st generation jets was mind blowing,now imagine that every 90 seconds from am till late night,that was life under the Canarsie approach during my carefree youth !!! what runway by the way ?

He landed on 22L.

I remember just the 80s near LGA....widebodies, DC-9s, 727s, and I know that was still nothing compared to the previous two decades.

The only good thing to come out of Iran was that 707.

Anyone know the call sign of this flight?

Now the question is when is it leaving? Thats my last shot at it.

Phil,
Check out these Iranian screamers. Same Stage II sets as you heard last night.
I am sure now you can see why I am so obsessed with experiencing as many of these old schoolers as I can. Hearing those engines brings tears to my eyes :)

And who was in the resting chair?

That was Gordon Senior, and he was very much awake and shooting when the 707 arrived.

When is he heading bacn to Iran?

[SengaB]

I went out to get the Iranian 707 again when it came back into JFK. I did manage to get some video of its arrival and also got some departure shots.
My camera's shutter button was giving me problems so it will have to go into the shop. It screwed up most of today's shots.
