Picked up the Kuwaiti Government A320 (9K-AKD) at SWF this evening.
The last type I need for KAC will be the A300.

Very nice, Senga! Good luck on catching the A300.

Thanks to Senga for informing me about this special visitor. I took a swing out to SWF and was surprised to here that the King and a small entourage of 15 were onboard the aircraft. After watching the King and his family go through customs and immigration I was able to take some photos of the aircraft after receiving "royal permission" from the pilot. By this time the light had already gone so I'm going to take a run out there again tomorrow to try again.

Its expensive so I might as well make to worth the drive :) Plus its never too expensive to get a new plane.
I love the drive to SWF as well.

hey adam613,
I never thought about. I kind of "Paid" for this trip. Makes it even more worth it when I fill up :)

Just be thankful you weren't paying for the 747-400!

The aircraft headed back to LTN tonight around 10pm.

Here are two shots from today. Unfortunately the weather wasn't so hot but I like how the white plane appeared against the dark sky.
