UN week is coming!

5:15 p.m. Obama and the First Lady arrive New York City, N.Y. - I guess I'm heading to 31L viewing? This is best for Bayswater, right?

Here he comes again, any idea where he'll be landing with M1 ? JRB or JRA will just about be leaving my office can get down there to get few pix.

Always Wall Street!!

Air Force 1 passed over my house for 31L 1 min 35 seconds ago.

French Air Force Falcon F-RAFP landed at FRG this afternoon. Went to Sheltair.
The Main Terminal at FRG had a number of Homeland Security officers, blue shirted TSA and a SCPD ESU and K-9 unit there.

Always Wall Street!!

Indeed. Wall Street is the only one big enough to handle all of the helicopters, plus the Secret Service has the whole JFK/Wall Street* arrival procedure down pat, so why mess with what they know.

Incidentally, anyone know why there's a TFR for Morristown at the same time as the general NYC TFR?

*JFK has to be the most frequent destination for AF1 outside of ADW, right? It makes sense.

Got lucky and got this one....

Not sure about the TFR but must have something to do with UN Week. What I (think I)do know is that Morristown, Westchester and Republic Airports are being used a "gateway" airports
for any helicopters coming into Manhattan. They have to be checked by TSA before going into Manhattan.

Well LGA got in on the UN action this evening when an all white 767-200 departed. Could not make out the call sine, something 001 Heavy, could not make out the complete reg but def started in ZS (South Africa) so I believe this is the aircraft pictured below.

Just returned home here to South Jersey. We sat first in that park in Inwood to watch the 4 arrivals, then had lunch at the Sherwood, then sat by one of the cargo areas for 13L arrivals from about 2-3:45 then sped over to the mounds for a few minutes, but got nothing special. Totally opposite of last year's experience, very frustrating. At least I managed to catch the 11am Sun Country flight back to MSP that my brother and niece were on, and a Transaero which I've not photographed before.

Guess I'll have to wait another year before the next chance of catching an Il-62M

Enjoy the rest of the week guys

Maybe no titles on the right side as that's all I saw but that's make sense as the Djibouti Gov 727-100 used LGA either last year or year before so maybe they like it here. Thanks !

Quicker travel time into Manhattan. That ride on the Van Wyck is a killer, PD escort or not.

Only gateways are Farmingdale, NY, and Linden, NJ. Morristown and Westchester are NOT gateways and would have to fly to FRG or LDJ to be screened first. Incidentally, all flights to the city are off if weather goes below VFR. Could be interesting with rain forecasted Tuesday and Wednesday.
