Awesome shots everyone, keep them coming

I'm pretty sore about how this last one turned out. He got off as early as a CRJ on a ferry flight and began his left bank almost immediately. I had walked as far east as I could on the HoBe sands to get it in what should have been great light. As it turned out, they of course went directly over my head. So this will have to do.

That Yemen is awesome for a 1/60 handheld. I was over by the terminals when it arrived, and it was near darkness. Did you try to snag the Dreamlifter that arrived a few planes after Yemenia?

Nice.. Did the 747 SP stayed at JFK? If not hope I to get it when it comes back in... Always nice to see AF1..

Great shots. Thanks for sharing guys. On Sunday, I spotted the South African Air Force and the Czech Republic Air Force at JFK near 31L just taxying. I believe they departed from 31L after 1400. I know that the Iranian president spoke at the UN yesterday saying gibberish. Does anybody know if he used the B747SP? I believe in the 70's, Iran had a daily SP flight to JFK at 1500 but by the time I started spotting, it no longer came.

Ethiopian came in overnight.

SAM29 just arrived 31L. No prize for guessing what that is.

Hello All,
Just checked the President's Schedule and its saying he is leaving out of JFK at 1:25pm. What direction will they be taking off? Runway 31L over the bay and out past Rockaway or 13R going out over Nassau? Trying to get a great photo of SAM29...

Cheers

Go to Bayswater Park for a 13R departure...

So jealous. Especially of the Qatar and that Tupelov.

**Zee71** · 2012-09-25, 01:04 PM

Not sure on the AF1 departure. Currently using only the 22s, but my gut is telling me 31L. We'll see when the time comes.

MARINE 1 lifting off Downtown now

Watching the touchdown so close from the A train near the Howard Beech stop was priceless.

C17 inbound to 13R

A few of my shots from yesterday:

Sacrificed AF1 for this shot, was worth it
