    I believe the German A340 is a new visitor that wasn't finished in time for UNGA 2010. One of two A340-300s the Luftwaffe purchased from Lufthansa, reconfigured for VIP transport and delivered sometime last year.
    Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem.
    All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control.
    I trust you are not in too much distress. —Captain Eric Moody, British Airways Flight 9

    I don't remember seeing it before, Matt. Last year, they brought an A310.

    I suggested an eye exam for the officer who pulled me over today.


    (and why not? After all, we are all about public safety.)
    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.

    Had a problem with the PC so I'm sorry for the late posting. It was great to meet Manny, Mark, Tom, and Eric and see Cary, Moose, and Jacob. An exciting day for sure.

    Thanks for going out and getting these guys!

    I love this thread every year!

    That Luftwaffe A340 looks amazing! We had the A310 here in Ottawa last time Merkel came in, I'd trade my right nut for the 340!

    Has anyone made it out to see what's parked at SWF? Flightaware lists a few:

    both the Kuwaiti A310 & A319
    France GLEX
    the MEA A330
    two VIP A319's
    misc G4's/G5's
    helicopter movement from 30th Street

    Will be stopping by later Wednesday afternoon to check and see what birds are posted up in the 'Burgh B-)
