    Mounds + Panera from today...

    Could anyone tell me how I can find out the tail number of this Evergreen? Took off at 10:13am if that helps...

    The Evergreen looks to be N490EV based off the number painted on the nose gear doors.

    Also, great shots from JFK today!

    Rom... keep this site bookmarked

    www.airfleets.net

    Then search for the carrier... Click on the actual carrier from the results (you may get more than one hit and watch out for Pop Up Ads... ) Once the carrier's list comes up, click on the general aircraft in question. If you;re unsure of the series, just click on the top of the list for the generic which gives the hwole list. With some carriers, you can also see the airline's numbering system and you should be able to figure it out.

    You can also try ACARS here

    www.acarsd.org

    search for time, airport, etc. It also accepts the wildcard character "%" as a placeholder for unknown characters.

    Finally, PASSUR is invaluable

    http://www4.passur.com/jfk.html

    Plug in a time and date and hit play and let er rip. It can be valuable in figuring out a flight and aircraft type or time, destination etc.

    Eric nice catches for the specials visitors and Rom looks like you had a great day too. On the way home from work I passed by the triple hanger and saw a C-17 sitting there. Unfortunately, I didn't have my camera with me (darn!).

    Yeah Mark told me that... he feels there may be an UN special meeting or something. Who knows... all I know is many more specials are coming in since I am not out there spotting. ha!

    So the C-17, no one got a shot of it? Mark had his camera at home (the insanity)

    Im thinking along the lines of the UN as well, with all thats going down in Egypt, and now Libya. May explain the c17 and other special jets.


    NIce photos! What time of day were you guys out there? Was it crazy cold?!
    And I, I took the path less traveled by
    and that has made all the difference......yet...
    I have a feeling a handle of people are going to be very interested in what I post in the near future.

    My thinking is the same regarding the special visitors. With all the stuff that is happening in Libya, I think there may be a special UN session. I wouldn't be surprised if more unexpected visitors show up tomorrow as well.

    Thanks :) I was at the Mounds from 10-ish to 2pm, then at Panera from 2:30 to 4-ish. The Mounds were very cold, even inside the car (I turn off the engine... I'm your environmentally friendly kinda guy). The funny thing is that is was 22° when I left, and it was 35° at Panera half an hour later.
