Iberia A340-600
2008-03-30, 01:13 AM
It's been a while since I spotted at JFK so today I decided to take advantage of the gorgeous weather and took a drive down to the airport. I spent a good half of the morning and early afternoon at Howard Beach with some gorgeous banks including a spectacular performance by Thai and a surprise visit of the RAAF BBJ.
After the Korean 747-400 departure I headed over to Firestone to watch the afternoon arrivals with the idea of heading back to Howard Beach around 5pm to see the Air India departure. At Firestone I ran into Raj who was visiting with his nephew and Squirrel_PA who was up from Philly with a friend. Unfortunately after the KLM MD-11 arrival from AMS they switched operations to the 4's at the worst possible time!

And to conclude with... The last day of scheduled KLM MD-11 operations at JFK for the time being:
