Hi guys!
I finally had a chance to do some spotting in NYC. My wife was in town for a conference - I tagged along and had Friday 9/28 (the day before kids day) to go and find some planes
I decided to spend the day at LGA because it seemed much easier to get to good spots by public transport. I would have liked to make this post earlier but it took this long before I had time to give to the pictrues.
I was hoping to get some AM shots of 22 arrivals, but they were running the expressway visual to 31 so off to shea stadium I went on the 7.
The worlds's fair marina was great. It also gave me a new respect for you guys that get those bank shots! For me, the weather was marginal, I was there a little early in the day for 31 (had to leave around 2:30) and I was at the limit of my equipment.
Most of my bank attempts and landing shots with the GWB in the background are at 100% crops.
Here goes anyway!
Nice light for AC

A little crossing traffic

And now for some sad attempts at banks!

Overall I had a great time! Thanks to Phil and the folks at this site for the spotting maps!
