Nice meeting you yesterday Steve and Mark, always great to meet the people behind the posts.

I'll post the few that I took once I get back to Jersey(and PS out the huge dust particle that landed on my sensor halfway through the shoot). Steve maybe I'll see you around PHL sometime

Agh, I should have stayed if I knew they were switching to 4's. Oh wells.

They always change runways. The last two time i've been out spotting I heard this statement. "they have been on 31's all day, i don't think their going to change" Just remember when you go out in the afternoon they most likely will change runways when the 5 o clock hour comes. Yesterday was actually kinda early, around 4:20

Generally speaking on good wx days what will happen is 31's till about 0730 0745 than ideally the 22's w 13L arrival releif or 4's with 31LKK departure releif and maintain that config through till 1600. From 1600 onward the best config is always 22's w 31LKK for RBV fixes. That is due to the need to balance the high departure demand and the straggler euro inbounds.
