Spotting Sunday 4/6??

[wunaladreamin]

I know it's early but iffin wx prevails I'm heading out to either JFK or LGA. Anybody up for some shooting??

[T-Bird76]

I'm hoping to get out there this weekend. I was orginally planning for Sat but the WX looks pretty nasty. If Sunday is good I'll be out from dawn to dusk. I'd really like it if runway 4 at LGA is in use. Its been over a year since I've done Plainview park.

[eric8669]

This Sunday I am Free. I will try and make it out.

[kc2aqg]

I would love to join in on the dawn to dusk spotting experience, but it's highly probable that I'll have a repeat of this weekend arriving home at 6 AM on Sunday. Andy has a date Saturday night :borat: I might be able to join you in the afternoon though...

[adam613]

I think I'm busy for most of Sunday, but I'll join you guys if I can...

Good luck on the winds for Planeview...I got in about three hours there yesterday and it never gets old :)

Andy, go easy on her...

[stuart schechter]

Jeeze guys! Way to go harsh on a fellow brother! HAHA. I may make it out to plainview early sunday morning. If it is plainview. I am on crew for a professional dance company and the concert is saturday. Ugh.

[brontis5]

I am into meeting up for sure. Brian

[eric8669]

I will be in the company of two beautiful ladies on Saturday Night. To bad its only a Photo shoot.

Looking forward to shooting on Sunday.

[Derf]

I will try and take my two little men on sunday if you guys are going to the park. :borat:

[PhilDernerJr]

Hey guys,

Honestly, we have a fun side-topic going on, that I think someone should make a new thread for in General Discussion. Anyone want to go for that, and we'll continue talking about Sunday here?

[stuart schechter]

can we split the thread?

[Matt Molnar]

Split: viewtopic.php?f=19&t=11244 (http://nycaviation.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=11244)

[wunaladreamin]

LGA it is then. I'm really looking forward to shooting LGA as I've never really spotted there before. Can I shoot someone a PM with my cell number in case I get mixed up trying to find the spot?

[brontis5]

Kenny,

Are you planning on hanging at LGA the whole day or gonna roll down to JFK in the afternoon?

Later,

Brian

[wunaladreamin]

I'll probably whip around to JFK in the pm for a bit.

[adam613]

If they're departing 13 at LGA, you guys might want to roll over to the GCP pedestrian bridge at 31st Dr and Ditmars Blvd. My departure pics from last weekend were taken from the pedestrian bridge at 27th Ave (per the spotting map), and I felt like I'd have gotten a better angle if I were further east.

[T-Bird76]

I'm still planning on being out to either JFK or LGA. Not sure if the morining will happen being I have a Soirée in NJ the evening before where adult beverages will be will be flowing but I shall be out at somepoint.

[adam613]

I had a bit of a change of plans...I'm coming out in the afternoon...Stefanie might come with me.

Not loving the wind direction though...we may end up with the dreaded 13s/4R config...

[moose135]

Right now it looks like I may make it out for Sunday. Will be in NJ most of the day Saturday, but unlike Andy, I don't expect to be out late :wink:

[T-Bird76]

If the 13s are in use, I'll be doing departures then rather then arrivals.

[wunaladreamin]

If the 13s are in use, I'll be doing departures then rather then arrivals.
Bayswater?

[eric8669]

If they are on 13's. Bayswater is the place to be for departures. You can also try Inwood park as a second option.

[LGA777]

This is subject to change but due to forcasted rain on Saturday AM the Port at LGA plans on Sunday construction instead of the usual Saturday. Rwy 13-31 will be closed from 0600L to 1400L on Sunday, so either up and down 4 or 22 so Plainview could be fun on Sunday morning, early afternoon. Just in case this changes you might want to call ATIS before heading out.

Have Fun

[LGA777]

I have not had access to my work e-mail since Thursday night nor will I again until mid day Sunday but with a 30 pct chance of rain now forecast for most of Sunday the LGA constuction I mentioned in the last post will probably be cancelled for this week and LGA will be on two runways.

Even though the advance forescast sounded great for Sunday sounding fairly crappy now, althought they have been off it seems like a lot lately.

Good Luck Folks

Well the skies ain't looking so friendly but I'm here behind Vaughn College watching them go up and down the 4's. Iffin anyone's still up for it, give me a shout.

[adam613]

I'm gonna pass...I've got too much else to do to go out in cloudy weather :(

[kc2aqg]

Well I was up at 6:30 ready to hit Planeview, but when I saw the clouds I figured it wasn't worth going out for. I'm actually surprised you headed out Kenny. Curious to see how your shots come out.

[wunaladreamin]

Yeah I'm home already. Didn't get anything worth while from Plainview. Just played around with the camera and watched for a bit, but LGA will be on my calendar again soon. How'd the date go Andy?

[stuart schechter]

Gah! Knew that question was coming!

[Derf]

I was out with the boys....windy as hell and cloudy. Nick had a great time playing Red Alert 2 in the car on my laptop. Jack was thrilled with every Mad Dog that passed! He was cheering as they took off and rumbled the car.

Here are a few pics

Nice shot of Legecy Embraer

[wunaladreamin]

Great stuff Fred, it was good to see you again. I saw that 25th anniv. Comair, got really really pissed off that I missed it and left lol. Mark my words, I will return.

[kc2aqg]

Love the pics from planeview. Even in cloudy weather, it looks like a total blast just to be that close to the action!

Not to get off-topic, but the date went pretty well. We talked for a few hours (a lot) over drinks and had a great time. We decided we will do it again when I return from Cali.

[nikon50bigma]

Nice shots Fred!
I like that climb out shot of the 737.
