JFK 1/2/12

LOL>.. small world of spotting is as huge as a Costco/Panera parking lot

I was stuck for about two hours while I waited for Lexus Roadside Assistance (battery crapped out on me) but was there most of the day and then got honked at as I caused a traffic jam on Rockaway trying to shoot the AFR6 and ETD101 while they crossed.

Of course, as soon as I got home, my daughter took over and I have been doing stuff with her until just now. I just took the cards out of my camera so it will be a while for me

BTW, I noticed that one of the China Airlines aircraft had a US registration... what's up with that?

N168CL

Says it is owned by Wells Fargo ... go figure!

Looks like they changed leasing companies in 2006 for whatever reason.

Apparently TAM is the official sponsor of bras. I fully support them for it. (hint: engine cowling on Mark's shot). Support..hehe.

That's my favorite China Airlines reg, because each digit is one less than my birth month and year, and the CL should be self explanatory. Now if I were only somehow related to China Airlines...

I saw that one last time I was down there. I was a little confused by that as well.

Awesome sets guys! What was up with all the different Qatar flights? An A330 and A340 on top of the regular T7?

[heeshung]

Qatar Amiri.

Is ETH101 737 delivery flight to ADD from Seattle?

[heeshung]

No, I think Manny means ETD101.

Very Nice sets there guys. Nice to see some fantastic pics.

Steve, the two non 777 Qatari were almost minutes from each other... think of them like you and your cousin going up to Boston in separate limousines... you get there almost at the same time as your cousin, but these folks use Airbus A342 and A332 instead of regular limo They were Amiri flights (007 for the A332 and 004 for the A342) which means Royal Family. Not on trackers either... so it must have been something special. I checked at work and there is no "official" word on anyone of the family getting healthcare at our hospital. But could be a "relative" ...


Now, I would love to see their C-17s here or the 747SP they supposedly have :-)

Sorry, meant Etihad so ETD101 lol... (thanks Mark)
