JFK/LGA this Saturday, Oct. 4

[flyboy 28]

Well, the wx looks phenomenal for Saturday. I'll be heading out to LGA and JFK for the entire day before the bbq. Anyone care to join me? I'm glad a change of scheduling allows me to get out this weekend. Bring the windbreaker!

So far the winds for Saturday are NW so I'll most likely be at the World's Fair Marina. Haven't spotted at LGA since March :oops:

hmmmm......maybe i can make it out in the afternoon....depends what runway is in use...

If rwy 4 is in use, I might try to swing out to LGA for a couple of hours

I would like to as well. I'll probably let you all know if im going to spot by LGA or not as the time nears.

The Port is planning on closing 4-22 at LGA at least all day this Saturday and possibly Sunday morning as well.

Cheers

wow..ohh right..its probably because of the Kids day.

But it's not Kids Day.

wow..ohh right..its probably because of the Kids day.
It's actually because of a significant paving and milling project on 4-22 that has been going on for several months. In fact in the last few months, I would estimate 4-22 has been closed 90 pct of all Saturdays.
