Today, man it was a day!




Missed it :-(


Nearly missed this one!!








Holy hell!!!!

The Iranian 747 SP relocated to Andrews AFB for the duration of the Iranian stay here in the states.

How cool and wierd to see that 747 parted next to OUR 747 at Andrews!!!

Excellent work. I am curious about the C&T Charter, N916SK. I tried to track the aircraft but it shows zero flights into JFK; interesting though it is from Havana. Maybe the Cuban delegation were aboard. Some of these aircraft are a mystery and we have nobody to ask to get confirmation.

Oh there are people to ask but they wear black suits, dark sunglasses and have earpieces and might have questions FOR YOU!!!
LOL I was walking by the Regency on Park Ave in Manhattan today and East 61st was closed and lots of SS types, ESU CAT Teams and DHS guys on duty. On my second walk past got the hairy eyeball from a couple of them so I guess pictures were out of the question.

I missed a VC-25, the Iran Air 747SP, and I waited for 2 hours for that damn Yemenia. I only left after my phone died, and it landed an hour after I left. Not a great day

Firstly.........Moose, I hope all is well in Pittsburgh! We all miss the Moose. Here stuff from today (Thur).

What a big difference from shooting this in day light!


Finally! I got a shot of her in the air!!!!


Swaziland on short final for RWY 31R


Iran Air on short final for 31L, taken near Costco


Slovak Republic departing off 22R


Swaziland departing off 22R


Just as I was making my way to HoBe from home, I have gotten two blocks away from home and I see the Yemenia 747 SP departing off RWY 31L. I darted out of my car to get this shot. As I was taking the shot, there was a guy sitting on his stoop and must of thought .... what the hell was all that about as I drove off.

Jason, 2 SP's and a TU! Damn I'm jealous! Great coverage guys from all. I'm still trying to find time to edit my Sunday shots.

Some of my shots taken Tuesday at SWF:

Swaziland:



Zimbabwe:



South Africa (and it's for sale!):



Kuwait:



Thailand:



Senegal:



There was a second Thai A340 there but unshootable to due to the way it was parked. Same story for a few uninteresting BBJ's and a tan ERJ-190. The 777 was also there but surrounded by ground equipment. I went up to SWF hoping to catch a VC-25A or some of the Saudi, UAE or Brunei stuff, but no luck.

I didn't get the Spanish A310--there was a gate guard at the fence and I didn't want to press my luck after already shooting the 727 and Senegal. Although I don't think he realized I was there...

[PhilDernerJr]

I have never seen an MD-80 that clean before. Great sets guys.
