[Iberia A340-600]

Some great catches there Tommy! Love the Alitalia Cargo MD-11 shot.

Can't wait to get out spotting again, not sure when that will be but I can't wait!

[hiss srq]

Hey Tom GREAT DAY!!!! Thanks for joining us and leading the way lol. We had a blast. Defineately the best day at JFK in a very long time. Anybody else get wind of the ATIS transmission that was going on for qa few hours ? It was hilarious. Me and Josh should have ours up in a day or so

[PhilDernerJr]

Wow, Tom, get any MD-11s? Great stuff.

[moose135]

Great stuff Tommy, looks like you had a great day of spotting!

[tipek]

Damn, you've got some great shots today. Imagine my highlight of the day at IAD - Song 757 :) I'm not lying :) I don't know how you guys got nice weather at JFK when IAD was cloudy entire afternoon.

Nice stuff there Tommy! I called ATIS on my way and heard they were using 31 @ JFK, and 4 @ LGA. So, being I only have the 200mm reach I went to LGA. Met Mike McLaughlin & his son there. With the exception of Mike almost losing his glasses we had a good, but COLD time. My fingers were freezing by 0830.
There was the typical RJ parade, but the sky & light was perfect so I took what I could get.

First arrival I caught was the ACA E175

Colgan has another SAAB painted in the Patriot scheme.

This guy decided to go-around just as he hit the park, even though the runway was clear.

WOW
WOWO

WOWOWOW!!!


Tom, how much did you pay each and every pilot to bank for you like that?!! WTF? That is great!

John, love the Klos up of the blue plane ;)

[INTENSS]

Tommy....good stuff. I'm a bit partial to those WOA birds. Good catches!

[CX777]

TOMMY...WTF... where is my AA 167 (T7) departing after EVA? :wink:

Its 4;45am local Singapore as I get ready for first day of spotting. I was wondering as we rolled of... any NYC guys out there today? Some nice shots...indeed.

BTW... had packed off slr when this one taxis past us for the que so I grabbled my wife's SD800 for the sample shot.

[T-Bird76]

Raj were you on a 777? If so then the AA 777 I posted is your plane, she went out right after EVA.

[Iberia A340-600]

My god Tommy that shot of the Turkish A340-300 is just gorgeous!

[mirrodie]

I just looked at these again. I am blown away by the degree of banking! Tom, how much did you pay each pilot to do that?! LOL awesome! I am just floored!

[MarkLawrence]

DAMN Tom - those are all awesome! Can't you send some of that stuff down to PBI please??..lol

[CX777]

Tommy.... great you got my flight (I miss it on the scroll) ..... hey see me in window 46A :lol:

Thank you !
PS...see my SIN thread for some shots

OMG that is awesome Raj!!!! Glad to have got it totally unknowing!

[mirrodie]

Great shots! AWESOME!!

[Tamon]

hi guys,

my first posting here...

those are amazing and great shots, I love those banking shots from JFK, especially when they are in such great quality combined with perfect light conditions ! Nice !


cheers

Tamon

p.s. how many mms are required to shoot a Jumbo banking at this place ?
this for example :

http://i93.photobucket.com/albums/l58/LAXspotr/JAL_JA8081_110406.jpg

[Mellyrose]

From Howard Beach, in order to get that kind of quality, you definitely need 400mm....and hope for a late bank.

[mikephotos]

Met Mike McLaughlin & his son there. With the exception of Mike almost losing his glasses we had a good, but COLD time.


Nice shots Tommy! Certainly was a great day. I think I saw you guys out there as I drove past on my way back to the Rockaways for my son's soccer game.

John...nice to finally meet you and thanks for the assist with the search for the missing glasses. Hope to see you out there again sometime.

ok thanks for the Info !

I'm very curious to see how the Howard Beach spot is like...400mm sounds like a problem when it comes to quality. Do all overseas bound heavies turn that late or can it happen that some Jumbos turn before ?

cheers

Tamon

[Mellyrose]

400mm isn't a problem if the conditions are right. Most heavies that you see at Howard Beach bank like the one you referenced, but occasionally with a lighter load, they'll come right over your head instead.

ok thanks again, sounds very promising !
