    JFK 12/04/2010 Evergreen Supertanker

    Thanks to NLovis and the schedule slipping, I was able to make it to HoBe in time for this beaut to take off. Light was good too...

    I was wondering if anybody made it. Yes lighting was perfect. Sadly though I couldnt get to the other side of 31L for a front lit shot. a beauty 747-100 classic.

    I have a feeling Israel as well. From what I understand there is a massive fire there. I guess this bird will be back when they're finished there.

    That is correct. When the tanker is no longer needed she will be through one more time.

    Thanks John... but it was a case of "being in the right place at the right time" as Eric would say if it weren't for Nick, I would not have ventured out to HoBe that early, or would have missed it while waiting for my Bagel on Cross Bay blvd!
