JFK Saturday, April 7th Anyone?

[Iberia A340-600]

I realize that this is insanely early to be starting a thread like this but as the weather starts to get warmer and to celebrate my 1 year anniversary of meeting the NYC gang I'd like to get a nice group together for JFK on the 7th depending on weather of course.

So far I know Josh May and Matt Sokol are in...

Anyone else think that they might be free?

Etihad A340-500, PIA 777-300ER, Lufthansa A340-600... Sounds appealing right? ;)

[hiss srq]

I may be a round for the afternoon from say 1pm on so we shall see. I will update later.

[SoPictureThis]

yes, in. now pray for good weather...do a sun dance :wink:

It's supposed to snow on Friday night!

[T-Bird76]

Weather isn't supposed to be good on Sat. I'm going to go out on Friday and do some spotting providing I'm back from Canada.

[Iberia A340-600]

Well if weather is not looking so hot for Saturday then I'll go out on Monday providing wx as well.

Shame since Iberia is bringing in an A340-600 on IB6251 on Saturday :(

It's about four days too early to look at weather forecasts for Saturday, but Intellicast is showing partly cloudy and mid-40s for Saturday and Sunday. Of course, Tommy will be coloring eggs and trying on his bunny suit, so he won't be able to go spotting :D

Since the photo was used, I need to make a Christmas Story quote in pertinence.

"My Aunt thought that I was not only perpetually 4 years old....but also....a girl."

[wunaladreamin]

Jesus, obsessing a little bro? lol

[Iberia A340-600]

It looks like Monday is turning out to be the better wx day.

[hiss srq]

I am counting on being there as long as I do not go back to the doctor.

[Iberia A340-600]

Ok so I'm getting partly cloudy for tomorrow now.

Anyone have a more detailed weather report or think it would be worth it to go out tomorrow?

[SoPictureThis]

accuweather and noaa.gov are tellin' me partly sunny for tomorrow..eek!! maybe monday is looking better, which is NOT good for me since i work :cry:

we'll have to make our decision soon...

j

[SoPictureThis]

ughhh! now i see sunshine w/a few clouds...so confusinggg lol

j

[Iberia A340-600]

This is what I get from 5 weather website:

noaa.gov:

Saturday: Mostly cloudy, with a high near 42. North wind between 7 and 9 mph.

AccuWeather:

Breezy and cold with partial sunshine

Intellicast:

Sunshine and clouds mixed. High near 45F. Winds W at 10 to 20 mph.

Weather.Com:

Intervals of clouds and sunshine. High 46F. Winds W at 10 to 20 mph.

WunderGround:

Mostly cloudy. Highs in the lower 40s. Northwest winds 5 to 10 mph.

[Iberia A340-600]

I might bight the bullet and just go tomorrow despite the conflicting wx reports. However there is nothing more that I hate then driving 2 hours and having awful wx like the past couple of times I have gone to JFK and EWR.

I've been cursed with bad weather when spotting in the NYC airports! :(

[Iberia A340-600]

Rain and snow shower for tomorrow it is now saying :roll:

[moose135]

Looks like a game time decision. Guess I'll see how it looks in the morning, and maybe I'll take a run down there if I'm free and it looks decent.

That's the way I'm feeling now, the weather reports are conflicting so I'll just see in the morning.

[Iberia A340-600]

Looks like all weather websites are starting to get the jist that there will be snow showers tomorrow...

:(

[Iberia A340-600]

I'm about to head out. I believe Josh and Tommy will be out as well, they are using 31s.

[T-Bird76]

Some interesting lighting and clouds today at JFK made for a rather enjoyable day. Small crowd only Josh May, Gordan, Pops Gordan and I.
