[jran225]

Does anybody know if HZ-AFAS is currently at EWR? I noticed that an "SVA008" arrived about half an hour ago and historically, that flight number has been used exclusively for this airframe (it was previously registered HZ-HM8). For those of you who don't recognize the registration, I'm sure you'll recognize the livery immediately:

The new Pace 762 came in tonight as well as VT-IAH which will be departing to BFI tonight.

[LGA777]

The new Pace 762 came in tonight

I got to watch that beautiful Pace 762 land on 4R from the IKEA cafe Sunday 4-27 as a blue tailed Pace 732 departed 4L at the same time, probably pretty rare to have 2 Pace callsigns on the EWR tower freq at the same time. The 732 was headed to CLT and the 762 was arriving from MIA and later returned to homebase, DAL.

Obama was here overnight Friday and the Pace 767 was in last night.

[Matt Molnar]

Obama was here overnight Friday.
I was wondering if he flew into EWR...I read he had a fundraising event at Jon Bon Jovi's house.

[njgtr82]

Yea $30,800 per person. Lol, I wonder if the $800 paid for the dinner and the $30,000 for Obama. Both him and Mccain will be at ground zero on 9/11 I read yesterday so they will both be in town this week.

I got curious, too, and did some research...apparently the Saudis are sponsoring a meeting of world leaders at the UN starting tomorrow about religious tolerance (LOL!), where King Abdullah is set to give a speech. It seems President Bush will be sticking around for the meeting, along with the leaders of Israel, Jordan, Bahrain, Lebanon, Kuwait, the Philippines and Finland.

Donald Trumps 727 came into EWR around 2-2:30, it parked over by the former UAL hangar. A signature aviation van picked someone up from a helicopter that landed at the same time as the Trump 727 and dropped them off at the 727.

Also of note today, the CO Connection Q-400s were getting good use out of runway 11. Steady stream of Q-400s landing on runway 11 while I was there.

I saw Trump depart LGA for EWR and the original planned times showed being in EWR for only about 20 mins but ended up being a couple of hours, since someone from the helo met the flight I wonder what happened? BTW metar was showing light snow during that time, was it really snowing? or just flurries?

Every time I have been at EWR since the Q400 invaison I always see them mixed in with the larger aircraft on the 4's or 22's. I was always surprised they where not using 11-29, njgtr82 any reason?

LGA777

Hi Ron, well with runway 11 ops its based upon the arrival fix as to who uses that runway. When we're on the 4's, we'll take 757's and smaller if we have the winds to land runway 4R and hold short of 11. Usually its arrivals from the north and west that are canidates. On the 22 flow its 737s and smaller for the most part and are arrivals from the south and southwest. the only time we'll take the props only to 11 is if the tail wind is in excess of 10 knots because they can take a stronger tailwind then the jets. Also these Q400's perform very well IMO and have no problem performing as well as these jets in the terminal enviroment. The smaller DH-8/B's though that recently started here are horrible. I give more room behind one of them departing then I do a heavy jet and they're slow on final as well. So I do prefer them to 11 though. As far as 29 goes, we'll use that to circle from 22L when the winds dictate and havn't used the overhead 29 when on the 4's too much lately. It's been the ILS 4R and Visual to 4L instead. Also with the dispersal headings on the 22's the tracon doesn't let us depart 29 with them and on the 4's 29 departures do not work because of the TEB ILS 6 approach. I hope this helps.

Also today a Fedex 757 finally came in, and the Saudi's are still busy. VP-BKS is back along with an airline 777 last night. N777AS is still here for over 2 weeks now.

I don't know the reason for sure but its been there for over a week now. They seem to have been doing some maintenace work on it in the past few days though.

[Iberia A340-600]

If the registration of the aircraft is VT-ESN then it could very well be parked on a state visit, especially since you mention it has been here for over a week. From photos it seems like -ESN is the aircraft used for state visits.

Perhaps some sort of tech issue has kept it here longer then it was intended to?

[AJ]

I taxied by the Air India 747 several days ago and remember seeing VT-ESM.
