Thanks to the heads up on the "Inbound" thread, I headed out to JFK to catch the Boeing Dreamlifter. First time I've seen it in person. I knew they were going to come in on 31 - the winds were 300 at 20+knots, but I wasn't sure if they would come left or right. Of course, my scanner was at home I set up at Firestone, and was able to get LiveATC on the laptop, and heard Approach clear them for 31R, so I was all set. The sun poked through just enough to give me some reasonable light.
Etihad F-1 came in a little before the Dreamlifter, but it was a little too dark, and I didn't get a decent shot.
