JFK 4/12/09

[moose135]

Since I had a little time before doing Easter stuff this afternoon, I took a ride down to JFK. I ended up at Costco (which was closed) for a while. Ran into Kim and his friend (who's name I forget) in from Norway this week, as well as a Dutch-born spotter, now living in Baltimore, who was up for a day of spotting. The sky was great, it wasn't too cold, but damn were the winds blowing!

This may be my new favorite 777:

As I mentioned, Costco was closed, so the parking lot was empty, except for us, and a security guard, who sat in his car about 40 feet away from us the entire time I was there, but didn't pay any attention to us.

Great shots! I was loving the sky this afternoon and wondering who the luckiest guy would be catching all the shots today!

Nice stuff - I especially like the El Al - my favorite of the set. Been chasing an El Al 738 around all weekend myself - but can't seem to get it.

Nice catch on the Air China 747-400 with the enlarged titles. I believe that's the first picture of the change.

Beautiful shots. The sky was so clear.

Thanks guys! When I got out to Costco and got to talking to Kim, he said "There was a Cathay Pacific 777 that came it, but it must have been a special scheme, it was all green..." I guess Asia World City has replace Wunala in taunting me!

Great shot’s Moose, the Air France was sweet.
I’m really happy to get a shot of the Cathay, it was so nice to see it.
here it is.

I hope it’s not so long till I can come back again.
Sheers
Kim.
