At this point I am in for sure. Maybe this time I can get a lit shot of the a380. Later, Brian

If they are using the Expressway Visual to 31, I should be able to get some LGA spotting in - I'll be at the Met game Sunday. Good shooting, everyone!

I'll actually be at the Met game, but if they are on EV31, you can get some decent shots from inside the ballpark:

What could be better than being at a baseball game? Taking pictures of airplanes AT the baseball game. Clearly, spotting is far superior to watching baseball. Hope to see you this weekend.

I might go out for a while just to see the A380 finaly.

I heard the A380 curses Nikon users by miraculously backlighting or otherwise disguising itself. But only for Nikon users.

I'll actually be in the city this Sunday. Rats! For those headed to LGA...don't forget this weekend has the Mets at home and the US Open at Flushing Meadows. Leave yourselves plenty of time to get there.

Unfortunately it looks like I won't be able to make it out unless it's in the morning time. Got family coming over that I haven't seen in months during the afternoon and have to head back up to CT later in the afternoon...

Let me know if anyone else is planning to head out in the morning and I will try to make it out...

22's in use. Will be at North Woodmere shortly.

I'm at North Woodmere. Kenny isn't :)

(Which is just as well because the light is ****. And it smells like ****. Or dead fish. Or both.)

Lol Adam, I couldn't find the damned place.

Tower had us chasing our tails all day with runway changes. Got effed out of the A380 which sucks. Here's a few shots from today:

Kenny, great shots, I thought the light and sky was not looking in your favor, but that turned out well!!

Thanks, for me it was a bleh kind of day. Still thinking I should have stayed back and got drunk lol.

Went to the game at Shea today, but got a little airliner photography in. Was in the Marina parking lot pre-game, and they were landing 31, but it was a little too cloudy for good shooting. By game time, they had re-opened 4/22, and switched to 13 departures, meaning they would be climbing out past the big ballpark. Here are a few shots from the upper deck...
