BOS & JFK - 8/24/2012 (JAL 787 & KLM Cargo)

[Zee71]

Had a few minutes to shot at BOS before my departing flight back to JFK. Was fortunately enough to see the JAL 787 (what a sweet bird). Unfortunately the heat haze was terrible, but better to have a shot than not!

Taxing out


JAL 787 departing off RWY 4R at BOS


Aer Lingus at BOS taxing to her gate




While taxing to T5 was able to get a shot off through a dirty window.


While on the Air Train heading to meet up with my sister I saw a 747 KLM Cargo taxing (it seemed to me she was heading out). Once I met up with my sister I quickly hijacked her car and made a bee line to try to catch the bird. Unfortunately heat haze was a killer here as well. Here is the result


I also noticed this Emirates A380 with titles I haven't seen before (maybe you might have). I guess something else to keep any eye out for

Nice shots Mark,

Emirates became a sponsor of the US Open this year. I was there today. they have a huge display on the grounds. In the display is a fully functional first class flat bed seat. pretty cool.

Eric.....is the title on one particular aircraft or a few others? I may be out early in the morning for a tad and then I hope late afternoon again.

I'm not sure, have not shot Emirates in some time. No spotting for me this weekend. Its all Tennis for me, with a brief stop at the Mets game(but i'm sure I will not be there long) then back to tennis.

Mark, the JAL 787 looks very nice! I've actually been thinking of making my way up to BOS over a weekend just to catch this beauty.

[Zee71]

Marcelo .... I would like to spend a day of spotting up in BOS as well. Unfortunately the heat haze was pretty bad yesterday. I would like to catch a better shot of the JAL 787 in the air.

Eric ... May try to catch the morning Emirates arrival to see if they have any new titles. Enjoy the matches.

[AA757]

Mark, Glad you got chance to get the 787 while you were up here. Great shot of the KLM Cargo.... is that something new at JFK?


Here are a couple of JAL this week from me:

JAL8 touching down on 22L

JAL8 passing Logan tower arriving 4R

Rich ... Your shots are awesome of the 787.

As far as I know the KLM Cargo is not a regular visitor but who knows. She must have been empty when she departed. Rotated very very early.

I remembered many years ago ive seen KLM Cargo 747-300F a few times parked at the Polar Air Cargo Building. Good catch though Mark, I wish I knew it was gonna be there or else I would have went to catch it/

[megatop412]

[TJK]

Great catches all around!

[MCO-LGA]
