JFK - 2/14/08 (Pix and more pix)

[moose135]

Since I didn't have a sweetie to spend Valentine's Day with, I thought I'd spend a little quality time with the old 30D. I had hoped to catch Jet Airways, but I got tied up on the way to Firestone, and must have missed her by about 15 minutes. Overall, not a bad day - nice sky, not too cold, and some interesting subjects.

Nice to catch Tradewinds, but a little disappointing too - she was operating under a CargoItalia callsign (Pelican 8702) and I was hoping to catch one of their DC-10s.

The famous "Firestone Bank Shot" - the result of a fairly aggressive S-turn on final.

The catch of the day!

Last shot of the day...when I heard Qantas 107 check it, I was hoping for that big red bird, but got a plain Jane instead.

Lovely shots Moose! Looks like it was a perfect day in NY!

NICE ON THE AIR BERLIN!!

You got 30% of our fleet today! haha

Great shots, Moose. I hoped to get out to ABE for a while today with the good light, but got tied up with school stuff.

Great Shots Moose! To bad you didn't catch Asia World City

[Iberia A340-600]

Great light and shots, Moose. Nice catch with D-AERS.

Luke, he didn't catch Asia World City because it departed at 9am this morning.

[Delta777LR]

Nice shots with the JetBlue turn, Trade Winds Cargo(Ex Atlas), and Air Berlin A330

Beautiful shots as usual, moose. Oddly enough just last night as I was going through some old shots I never got a chance to edit, I happened to touch up a photo of D-AERS from September.

Some days are like that. Last time I was out (Feb. 2), I caught two or three North American 757s and one 767.

Nice shots. Moose, on a separate note, did you see the KL MD-11 coming while you were out there? Reason I ask is it seems KL liberally switches between MD-11 and 744 recently.

They brought the MD-11 yesterday - PH-KCH:

Nice shots Moose... I hope to catch that Air Berlin myself soon as well.
