Delta has their entire damn fleet at JFK! They needed to charter another airline? Unreal....


rumor: Old AA terminal 8 space to be used to build employ parking lot

Nope...Port will only allow the space to be used for aircraft purposes or future terminal space. Right now its going to be developed for extra aircraft parking.

Delta plane broke down and North-American charter filled in


Not true. A different airline went MX and I got the call from them just as I sat down for work and I set it all up.

I must say it's very fun to see that my work shows up on my website. Sorry if I'm boasting. I like my job. :)

[G-BOAD]

Sorry for the misinformation, I thought it was strange Delta needing a sub if they have such a large operation at JFK. What airline did the North American sub in for?

[Iberia A340-600]

In addition to the Etihad A330, which I believe is a Saudi charter, I saw Wunala rotate from runway 31L while I was leaving the airport.

DHL has 2 DC 8s in this morning and looks like C17 over by the triple hangers.

El Presidente will be arriving this afternoon.

As far as the old site of AA T8, I've heard from friends that the PA is soliciting bids from design teams to design the other half of the AA terminal. AA obviously isn't happy about it, but the PA gave them more than enough chances to do something with it and they could never commit to something. I"ll keep you posted.

Aeromexico 777 was at JFK yesterday.

[Iberia A340-600]

Wow, three years later we finally get an Aeromexico 777. Quite the catch, Tommy!

Looks like today there is a 767-300 on its way.

I've never spotted at JFK -- how long of a lens does one need to get a shot like that?

I think that for a shot like that, the location of the photographer's feet is more important that the length of the lens ;-)

There was a Euro Atlantic 767-300 parked by the American hangar.

Corning Glass last I knew. Used to (maybe still does?) go into EWR pretty often.

[Iberia A340-600]

Scanderberg has had an Air Italy 767-300 operating for them this past week. I imagine the Euro Atlantic 767-300 I saw last week may have been doing the same thing.

[Mayi757]

Hi guys, have you seen any Asiana 747s in OLD colors at JFK recently? I thought about getting to JFK thursday night and hopefully shoot an Asiana cargo flight that usually departs around sunrise. Wonder if 31L is the one runway they're most likely to use in the early morning since I understand shots can be taken from inside T2 (where I'll be arriving on DL)

The Asiana pax flight arrives after sunset right? So no chance of getting the OLD colors there, and I need those.

I don't remember if it was this one, but there was one of their a/c in EWR not to long ago. I do remember last summer - fall we worked a few of their planes, I fell in love with the Dornier.

[njgtr82]

The NxxxCG family of Falcon's and D328s used to be based at EWR but a year ago or so shifted most of their ops to MMU. They go to ELM most of the time

Someone was telling me that there is. German IL-96 here. Can anyone confirm this? Could that be right?

I think they mean the Rossiya IL-96. Germany's senior government officals use two Airbus A310s.

There is an Arrow Air DC-10 en-route to JFK from Tripoli, Libya. I imagine the aircraft is bringing in some equipment before Kadaffi's visit?
