JFK Time Machine - DC10s

[CX777]

Hi,
Its snowing for the zillionth time and what else to do but open up some old folder. Heres some of my random DC10 shots.

We start in snowy season... yes this was taken from Delta (PanAM) terminal where the middle of the fence just had a door that was not locked all the time!





















Again, its not the best polished anet stuff, but just some variety to look at from our beloved airfield.

Thanks Manny, yeah I should upload more. BTW, no football this weekend and I am off. Really leaning towards driving to south to spot with the group on Sunday.

Great stuff to say the least. Push the pedal to the metal and join the gang!!! Unfortunately, we might get snow showers on Saturday, but Sunday still looks good.

yeah indeed come on down. Also, there IS football this weekend... Pro Bowl is early this year :-)

Freedom! Now this is quality vintage!

Raj, amazing set. I love this Air Afrique shot as it was a very popular airline where I come from (the old France-Western Africa connection). They used to show these planes on the news all the time.

awesome shots! The golden Mexicana is a beauty, but then all of them are!

Thanks guys, appreciate nice comments. I did leave out couple of very regular visitors at Kennedy. And also will end the post with few close up that defines classic DC10.

I believe this was at one point twice a week only... a true workhorse


Hybrid colors ...


One of my fav colors on DC10... and them inboard flaps seems like just massive planks that slowed down the jetliner


One of the best nose of an airliners.... classic McDonald slanted nose gear and the location far behind the cockpit.


Number TWO




Last but not the least, well its not Kennedy but had to get the "golden classic" from the neighbour... Newark

Raj, great shots. When was this taken? I assume this is around the 1980s or early 1990. I remember by 1994-5 when I began the spotting hobby, Air Afrique was using A-310 and there was no JAT service to JFK.

I should upload some of my old photo of AA-727 into JFK, too.

Wow... love it love it...

[Ychocky]

Stunning. Love them all.

If you EVER decide to perhaps clean up and re-edit some of these, I'd be proud to help out... WOW!!

I took liberty of retouching some to see what they would look like :-)

O Man... great editing. Yes I should devote more time as I use to but having a 7 yr and constant snow does comes in way of hobby! We just came back from digging a tunnel!

Anyway, it means a lot coming from experts. I will have to open up some of them in PS5 or LR3 and edit them.

Thank you again for taking time and showing what difference good editing can make.

Raj- simply amazing to say the least. Such vintage deliciousness!

Given what we've just seen, am I even allowed to post this Costco shot???


Talk about a tough act to follow. I am not worthy!
