Lufthansa A380

[megatop412]

I thought this had been discussed before but I can't locate the thread even using the search function.

When exactly is the LH A380 first coming to JFK. The LH site says 2/28, wikipedia says 2/8 and a USA Today article says 2/18. I'm trying to give my job a heads up as to which day I want off. I would think the airline itself would know best, but anything is possible. I seriously want to catch this thing.

Thanks in advance

Looks like the original thread for this topic has been reawakened and has the answer I was looking for- sorry for opening this one guys

LH web site is showing Flight LH400 with A380 service on Monday, 2/28/11, scheduled to arrive JFK at 1335L (1:35pm).
See you then!

Unfortunately, it is scheduled to depart back to FRA at 9:45pm, so we will miss out on any HoBe bank shots.

Is anybody going out Monday afternoon to take a look?

I am guessing they will be using the 22's? So the mounds?

Moose, not even joking... just don't remind me. For the life of me, why is it that some airlines can turn around quickly while others like Emirates take most of the afternoon to turn around. I have heard Emirates 202 take off after midnight. I feel bad for those who have to get there so late.

So maybe Korean Air will help us out with a daylight departure of an A380 in 2025!

My bet is on 31L since it is the go to RWY setup for JFK!

They are planning 31L and will land at 1:35pm - that's the intent. NYC will be there :-)

Im leaving depressing but warm Maryland Beaches :) and Im heading to NY tomorrow... already asked whole family to pray for the weather for the weekend - I'll try to be around on Sat and SUn and of course Monday Lathansa A380 is a priority, this is my last visit for a long time unfortunately I must go back to work in Maryland after this weekend :((

Early forecast is for rain Monday, but I'll probably be out for it.

[megatop412]

Last I checked 70% chance of rain and thunder- as long as it isn't pouring out we should be OK- overcast skies aren't the best for this stuff but plenty of awesome shots have been taken in damp conditions

Coming up there on Saturday, see you folks Monday

[gonzalu]

the right Overcast conditions can be great for even low contrast lighting that can show off more parts that usually would be buried in shadow under full bright sunlight. FILM had latitude but Digital has very little unfortunately. I know it does not look as POP as full sunny, but it can be pleasing to look at given the right conditions.

Now, we all want nice sunlight I think for a better brighter picture and of course, who loves getting their heads and gear wet?

Looks like [I] will have to miss it. A two million dollar project is close to signing and Monday from 12:00p to 2:00p is one of the final huge meetings and my name is all over it Even if I call in sick I risk much... I am jealous and I expect SOMEONE to tweet a shot or two or to at least TXT me or post a screenshot of their LCD screens hahahahaha

[RomNYC]

Why do I have class that day, that time?

Well, I allow myself to miss class twice every semester... This could be one of those

[Zee71]

I'll be working a half day Monday, so I'll be out and about.

Manny........I think you should have your meeting offsite (maybe at the mounds, or Inwood, etc.) for the ceremonial signing.

Damn dealines! I have a deadline to meet on Monday and even coming in to work on Saturday I will still need to be here at the office. Otherwise I'd be putting my personal time off back in the negative to head down.

So 31L, I guess that would be Inwood Park or Firestone at least if I am reading the spotting guide the right way. Thanks.
