    Becoming New American tour comes to JFK

    In the midst of all the sadness at NYCA on friday I was tasked with covering the American Airlines event at JFK. Matt had given me the assignment the night before.

    The fuselage is better than I thought (looked a dull grey at first, but now I see it has a sheen), but that tail just keeps getting busier and busier! Special thanks to AA's PR department for having both the JFK and LGA events at gates that aren't visible from the landside portions of the terminal.

    At JFK it was at Gate 14 a perfect location for all passing by to see it. I think AA's PR department did a great job. In was in a optimal location.

    Great shots Eric. Thanks for posting.

    I never thought I would miss the logo, stripes and registrations that were impossible to read.

    At least we have something new to photograph. I'm with Moose, looks great at night.

    Very nice work, Eric! I really do get a better sense of the eagle in the logo from your photos. I still don't like the tail...

    American Airlines VP of New York and international operations Timothy Ahern says its a "soaring eagle" best viewed when the aircraft is on rotation. makes sense.

    Great photos! Does anyone know if AAL is planning on adding a touch or two to represent AWE paint features if there is a merger? Or will the Cactus paint features go away completely? USAirways current paint still has a few familiar touches of the America West livery.....

    Also, wondering how long until they unveil the 773s painted. Are they waiting until after the merger if it goes through? Pardon me if there was news on this and I missed it.
