FRG - Monday Dec 4

Flight Aware shows USA Jet DC9 headed this way arriving @ 1445, quick turning out. Also ACA7047 (A320) bringing the Ottawa Senators to play the Islanders due in at 1630-ish (not airborne yet), no depature planned yet.

Darn I did a quick trip to ISP to get a boring WN 737. The light at that time should have been perfect . What runway did it come in on John, did you get it?

I was just about to run out of the office to try to get the DC9 when I got a whiny call from a client. I thought I would head over to catch the A320, but I got tied up and the next thing I knew it was after 5:30.

Winds looked to be out of the NW all day, so I imagine they would have used Rwy 32. Would have been great spotting out near the hot dog wagon on New Highway :(

The A320 is still at FRG - she's parked down near Atlantic Aviation, not really shootable from outside the fence. I imagine she'll be there until at least until after the Islander game Tuesday night.

I got the 9!

I got the 9!
Now there's a shock! HAHAHA! Just kidding Fred. Glad someone was able to catch it. Monday's suck for me at the office, and I couldn't break free. Even if I could, with all the cold weather, I hesitate to leave the camera bag in the car.

Both the DC9 & A320 landed on 32, the 9 took off on 32, and the Airbus wont leave until 2330-ish tonight, after the Isles game like Moose said.

Atlantic had it parked in a real crappy spot, so there was no good angle again today.
