    Thanks for the replies guys. The weather calls for mostly cloudy at that time, at least it's not rain, although they are calling for flurries later in the evening. I will probably go to Bayswater and try my luck.

    Also, for the GWB visit, at one point New Highway was open, however when I got there after work, they had closed New Highway as I tempted to drive down it and was turned away. I had approached from the Conklin side and didn't bother from the 109 end. The only spot where I was able to stop was on the 110 side, oh well.

    Sorry ... I thought you actually saw the one yesterday was 03-3125 and were wondering if the same landed on Monday... What I tried to say was that if you saw 03-3125 on Tuesday, it is one in the same that landed on Monday You have to love language!

    looks like no KJRB for this one,

    Instead of his normal route -- a helicopter to Wall Street and then a motorcade that shuts down the FDR Drive or West Side Highway between the financial district and midtown -- Obama will be coming into Manhattan over the RFK Triborough Bridge, said traffic guru "Gridlock" Sam Schwartz, which will likely lead to closing the FDR drive above 63rd Street.
    “The Secret Service is really shaking things up a bit,” Schwartz told amNewYork. “Maybe they’re reacting to complaints from lower Manhattan about traffic jams.”
    Obama’s first fundraiser, “Cocktails & Conversation with the President” for a cool $15,000 per person, starts at 4 p.m. at restaurant Daniel on E. 65th Street.

    Last time he was here Marine One landed on Randalls Island and then he limo'd over the Triborough. I doubt they care about traffic at all but I suspect Randalls is a much more secure place to land.
    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

    Well....they light has gone down the tubes, and they're on the 13s and 22L. I may get lucky catching AF1 from the back yard.

    Probably not - current active runway has little to do with which approach they make. ATIS has the winds at 6kts - that's not nearly enough to get them to change normal AF1 ops...
