    I'm gambling it's 31R, so I will be watching from home. Approx 20 mins from now.

    It's hard to take chances but sometimes it's better if you do

    I got it. Landed on 31L.

    I was pissed because everyone else was landing on 4L, so I guessed (wrong) that they would come in on the normal pattern. I heard it coming from behind & got some (almost) overhead shots. Sucks, because I had the city w/the freedom tower in the frame for 4L & the sky was sick today.

    I'll post when I get home.

    Don't pay attention to the usual flow of traffic - they will come in the way they want regardless of the current active runway, unless conditions are outrageous.

    Where I was set up, hoping to see AF-1...

    . Very Angry Skies but was able to catch a couple 380's in the same shot.

    I was scrambling & was lucky to get these.

    Nice shots regardless on an awful day, especially of the double a-380s.

    Even if conditions are outrageous LOL. I have seen AF1 take off in 13L with 30 knot gusts coming from the west. They have special engines

    I thought when I saw the 380 come in, I'd be good. I was wrong...
