07 Nov

Over a 3 hour period today 3 unmarked militay versions of the G-V departed.
2 Where US Navy C-37B's 166378 and 166379 and the middle one was
a USAF C-37A 01-0029. Found it a little odd that all left in a 3 hour period.

But the highlight for me was N711HK, "The Herbert D Kelleher" and one of 3
Southwest 737-700's in their classic Gold scheme, really pretty I think !

Probably carrying the brass that attended the USS New York commissioning. Lots of top Navy folks on hand, as well as Sec of State Clinton. I imagine that once the ceremonies were over, they all needed to head back to work.

Moose, yeah I figured that out driving home when the radio news reminded me of the USS New York commissoining which I had forgotten about.

And Sergio, 711HK landed on 31 around 1500 and departed about an hour later. Sorry you missed it as that scheme looked extra nice in the bright sunshine.

Airtran's Colts 717 was in LGA tonight, saw it sitting at the gate while we were outbound to SYR just after sunset.

Also not necessarily new...but a Republic E190 in Midwest colors landed at about 2140 local...and I threw up a little bit.

Good stuff.

Also, welcome aboard. :)

I think many of us kind of get that feeling about them and those. I have heard that flying 190's for Republic is like owning a Ferarri with no engine. looks great but you wont really ever go anyplace. :mrgreen:

[dashtrash]

Crappy weather, but a nice subject at LGA today...parked next to N Force One is N720MM, a BBJ belonging to MGM Mirage. Also saw the Colts 717 waiting to depart 13, about 1240PM.

Looks really good.

I was told about the repaint by the man himself. I met Petr Nygard last week. Shot his Store opening in Time Square.

[AirtrafficController]

N745VJ The Allegheny US Airways A319 landed on runway 4 about an hour ago.

N745VJ is more of a regular visitor at LGA along with N744P and N742PS..

[SengaB]

That's all they did? It doesn't look like its worth the drive to get it again now that I see a close up of it.
Looks better than the old colors though.

Saw the 727 from the M60 today but did not know who's it was. It departed 13 around 2100 lcl Thur night for RST (Rochester, Minn). A co-worker pointed it out as it was rotating and in the dark all I could tell was 727 and Blue tail. Personally I like it. big improvement.

Two other notes. It arrived 2 days ago from Brunswick, Georgia which it was just reveleed that it where is Trump had his repaint so I assume that is where it got sprayed and this is its first trip in the new scheme.

Also the only reason most people go to Rochester, Minn is it is the home of the Mayo clinic so hope Mr Nygard is ok?

Oh and Dashtrash you need to come upstairs to the Ramp Tower and say hello ! Nice shot !

Sure! PM inbound...


a USN C-37 departed, didn't catch the numbers on the tail.

Saw it getting ready to leave, only 376 is visible on the tail, so it should be C-37B 166376 from VR-1 "Starlifters" out of NAF Washington (Andrews).

1542170

[cancidas]

28 November

i saw that hawker that dashtrash posted, was walking across the ramp on my way in. definitely a very unique scheme!

[hiss srq]

I have a picture in a diffrent scheme of that Hawker taxing on Alpha in diffrent colors from a few years ago. I am not a big fan of that scheme. I will try to find my shot to post later.

[cancidas]

http://web1.jetphotos.net/viewphoto.php ... 869&nseq=4 (http://web1.jetphotos.net/viewphoto.php?id=6686869&nseq=4)

Hey Ron! Was at LGA today, heard Steelers was coming but never saw it. Got the name is blue and the Piedmont Pacemaker which I of course dedicated to you. Great light but too damn COLD!

[LGA777]

Nick, Steelers and Panthers came in 6 mins apart at 0942 and 0948. And Piedmont, Blue, and the Eagles all landed with in about 6 mins of each other around 1500.

From up here the light also looked great but it was about 72 degrees in our comfortable office with a view.

Cheers

LGA777

[NIKV69]

That would explain why we didn't see them. We did the afternoon thing. Was good to the Piedmont finally. Thanks for all your help Ron!

[cancidas]

11 December

the nice part of high-wind days is that we get to watch all the traffic, both in and outbound.
1630L
like 86-0202, a pretty USAF C-20B. (aka G-IIB)

[AirtrafficController]

The Songbird B732 just landed on 22 and is parked next to the MAT.
