    JFK - 11/15

    Just had the urge to get out for about an hour to see if I could get the A380 from a different perspective. Here are only a few. By the way, is the TAM a new scheme? I don't recall seeing this one before.

    It's hard to take chances but sometimes it's better if you do

    It figures its old :-( We can never get lucky I guess LOL. I was out this morning trying to catch the new AA ribbon... boy what a HORRIBLE morning. Kennedy was wrapped in a thicket of high and low clouds, fog, all yuck. The ceiling must have been 200-500 feet at least on 31L.

    It was a lousy day weather wise. The sun briefly popped out around 2-ish, and then got quickly obscured. They mostly used the 4s today, but briefly switched to 13s and then back to the 4s. I tuned into the tower, and an aircraft waiting to depart on 4L report to the tower that there was boat past the buoy. The tower confirmed the sighting and must of contacted NYPD. Within 10-15mins a NYPD helio was onsite between the 4s from what I heard. I guess the boater must have gotten the message and moved. It was interesting to say the least.

    Some of the very few that I was able to salvage from the carnage...



    This is what it REALLY looked like :-( About a second or two after this shot: in the clouds.



    I looked at the tails and figured, two of the same LAN... I was surprised when I looked harder



    and this one which I can't seem to get "in the air"



    Sun Country was a total surprise :-)





    If you had any doubt how bad the light and conditions were ...

    Yeah, I said the same thing. I could not believe that on the worst weather day, I get two surprises and well, the results were not what I would have wanted. Looks like Friday /Sat will be nice again.,.. next few days will suck!

    Did the Emirates A380 land on 31L as usual or on the 13's? or on 4R/L? curious because the taxiing looks like it did not come from the usual angle .. if she lands on 31L it rolls from that side right to the gate, it never taxies as in the shot I believe. There is no room to turn her around LOL.
