P4-MES at KPBI 7/16

[MarkLawrence]

A big thanks to Bill Striffler for the heads-up - unfortunately, P4-MES was not in the best parking spot, but at least I got to see it up fairly close! [Edit] Also at KPBI this afternoon - VP-BDJ and N727EC - both in really bad photo spots - but - I think that counts for a whole lot of money at KPBI.

Nice shots Mark,
I saw it on the tracker this morining but didn't go as I had to put my car in the shop..Maybe I'll give it a shot tomorrow.
I think this is the last PVT 767 I need.

Ah, "The Bandit". Nice catch.

[adam613]

That's a sweet plane. Glad you caught it.

[Chris102]

Very nice shot!

Although your view was obstructed, did you get any shots of VP-BDJ?

[MarkLawrence]

I tried to get VP-BDJ but the sun was directly into the camera lens - no good at all - that's where he always parks - going to have to try and get a taxi/take-off/landing shot.

hey Mark, P4-MES is departing at 4pm

[MarkLawrence]

SHOOT!!..I won't be home by then - oh well...next time - but - someone call Senga - he was going to try and spot PBI this afternoon - he might want to wait for MES to depart!

Lol, he's already there

[MarkLawrence]

He said he would be! We should see a couple of good shots out of him - weather seems not too bad..

[MarkLawrence]

P4-MES is going to LAX - Josh might want to try and catch it - scheduled for 5:35pm arrival local time...

[SoPictureThis]

Thanks Mark, and Bill, for the heads-up. I really wish I could be there to get it, but unfortunately I've got a conflict. Man, LAX is on a roll...Saudi 747SP, Qatar A319, and now this, in just a 2 day period!..Working sucks, haha. Hopefully there will be some neat movements around here on Fri Sat or Sun, when I'm free-er, haha :P

Looks like Trump departed PBI at 1300 so hopefully Senga caught the departure, looks like headed for Heavy MTC.

I wonder how Trump would get back to NYC....

Greetings,
Got back from from PBI about 1.5 hours ago after shooting P4-MES. This was a lot of work for a minor catch. This is the last Private 767 that I needed (I think)
Success!! When I was about 45 mins out from PBI I recived an Alert from Redone that MES had planned a departure from PBI at 4pm.

Note the 2 red strobes on the forward part fo the fuselage.....very strange.
Maybe they had another installed because one mihgt be obstructed by the protruding device.
Thanks mark with the PBI info.
Ron,
I didn't go for Trump as I already have that one.
Out of the top 2 witch do you all prefer?

Great catch Senga - for me - #2 - shows off the sleek lines of the Bandit.

[SengaB]

Thanks Mark,

Senga

[MarkLawrence]

Yes- decided it was time for a change - they are pretty much identical - except for the car! Damn Signature for parking it there! :lol:

[SengaB]

Yea Signature is always the party pooper :(
I drove past the viewing park a few times and didn't even see it.

Nice shot Super Senga. Is the 767-300 an extened range, long range or neither?

[MarkLawrence]

Looking at various sites, they all say 767-300ER - extended range.

[Iberia A340-600]

Nice shots, Senga. That privy tends to stay clear of SWF, hope she visits one day.

[njgtr82]

Great shots Senga, I wish it didnt depart EWR after dark a few weeks ago, departure shots are my favorite

[SengaB]

Thanks for the compliments.
I wonder whats in store next!
