    JFK New Perimeter Fence Affects Spotting from Bayswater

    While processing some recent Bayswater shots, I noticed something that wasn't there before. The PA erected a high security fence around the 4L extension. It will only impact your taxiing aircraft shots. You'll notice the wheels obstructed and lower part of engines affected as well. I've posted before and after pics for reference.

    I guess we can thank that wind surfer dude that breached security from the bay and walked across a RWY last year.

    Don....I believe that fence was there before, but thanks to Sandy it must have got ruined. So, I think if finally got replaced.

    Here is a photo from March 2010 which clearly shows the fencing.

    Yup, it was destroyed by Sandy :(

    Anyway, JP will not mind the fence cutting your wheels but A.net will... if you care about such things..

    Well, lucky us for the last year. Probably the only good result from Sandy that I've ever heard of.
