[Matt Molnar]

Spirit 703 to FLL (A321) took a 5 hour delay Thursday evening, lifted off from 13 at 2:01am, making a counterclockwise loop over the East River before blasting straight over my house at around 3000ft and making me wonder if the Russians had finally arrived.

if it was a white a-star then i think it belonged to the FBI. they landed when i got into the parking lot, i think they were just waiting on the pad to open. i heard two distinct helo's, jsut couldn't find the other one.

[Matt Molnar]

Weird. Hope someone can get a pic. Parked at 5 Towers?

i think it's on "E" ramp, saw a white tail out of the corner of my eye but since i parked in the front of the employee lot i didn't get to see.

[Delta777LR]

I did get a few nice shots of the Italian Air Force A319CJ today while I was at the Worlds Fair Marina.. I will upload her in the morning..

[hiss srq]

Senga Jr. you are indeed Sergio. Seriously, you are like New Yorks clutch man when it comes to catching aircraft.

[Delta777LR]

Senga Jr. you are indeed Sergio. Seriously, you are like New Yorks clutch man when it comes to catching aircraft.

For one thing I had no idea that this plane was coming. I already planned to spot at LGA which I mostly do at least once or twice a week.. I normaly don't always hop on ACARS.. But in my opinion, its all about luck.. I like to be surprised! However if I hear that something gud is coming, I will take my time to see if I can chase it down and let anyone know.. But yes I was happy to catch this Italian Air Force A319CJ.

[LGA777]

Actually 2 came in, 1 mid afternoon and another around 2030L. The 1st one was at 5 Towers and the 2nd on the PAPD ramp near the MAT around 2200 last night. Looking forward to Senga Jr's. shots !

13 February

1030L
SWA's "Neveda One" (N727SW just laned, looks like she could use a polish.

also, VP-BPZ is still here as well as a turbine-powered straight tail bonanza with tuna tanks. awesome!!

[hiss srq]

Those turbine Bonanza's are really cool airplanes. I like them alot performance wise. However, they look like a Bonanza crashed into the ass end of a PC12 standing still with that long nose.

[Idlewild]

I saw (today around 2pm) a B-722 Super Advanced sitting where Trump's jet usually does. It has a dark blue tail with a huge, white "N". Does anyone know who this jet belongs to?

That 727 belongs to Peter Nygard, some sort of fashion designer. She is a frequent visitor to LGA.

Unless Nygard has a second plane, I don't think that's it. There's a really big uppercase "N" on the tail. It almost looks like the font for Northeastern Airlines.

I should also state that I didn't get to see the fuselage. Only the tail and winglets,

[727C47]

727s still rule :D

[hiss srq]

They always will. Three engines tail mounted and a wing that comes apart in so many way that transformers are left saying...."WTF?" I love that airplane. It is a shame I was born about a decade late. I'd loved to have at least sad sideways in those things.

[AirtrafficController]

US Airways Star Alliance A319 just took off runway 4.

One of my bosses just e-mailed me at home to say he just saw this takeoff, getting rarer at LGA

That flight is normally an MD-88, hell of an upgrade !

Here is the inbound

http://flightaware.com/live/flight/DAL9923

3 Interesting visitors all within about 10 mins.

1st Allegiant MD-87 N948MA departed to take another load of gamblers to Tunica, Mississippi.

Then this unique schemed Hawker HS-125 N843B arrived from OXC

Followed by the departure of LearJet N145GM to her home base of CMH also sporting a (me thinks) pretty cool scheme.

Kind of a unique sight, Delta's delayed 1700 ATL departure and their 1800 taxied out 1 behind the other past the office, both where 757's with winglets in the old livery, what are the chances? N658DL and N660DL, wingletted new colors 757 N648DL passed them in the opposite direction. About 15 mins prior the Mets departed to DEN on N398DA, 737-832 winglets, new colors, they are actually pretty rare.

Allegiant brings their MD-87's in very regularly now, in the last 6 months probably seen them 10-12 times. They fly Public Charters to Tunica, Miss, just SW of Memphis where multiple casino's are located. Usually they ferrry in from somewhere, go to UTA, (which they did Sunday and is posted a few posts prior to your question) then return the same gamblers to LGA 2 or 3 days later, here is today's inbound.

http://flightaware.com/live/flight/AAY7131

Then they ferry out, often to PHL, today it was LBE, from their another load of gamblers usually get picked up for Tunica.

They are ground handled in LGA by CO, and park on their gates.

I noticed an all white 757 turning final to 31, ended up being N757SS, the Texas Rangers 757 making it's once or twice a year visit.

http://flightaware.com/live/flight/N757SS

They play the Yankee's the next 3 days, the final game in the series is Sunday at 1300 so they will probably depart LGA between 1730-1830 Sunday.

Also about half an hour prior the AirTran Atlanta Falcons 717 paid a visit.

Cheers

My first sighting at LGA of a Dash 8-Q400 when N721AL departed 31 for parts unknown. Did a little research, is registered to Aerographics of Manassas, Virginia, a suburb of Washington DC. I think it may be a govt operation as it was blocked on Passur, you never see private or corporate aircraft blocked on our work version. Also in one of the 2 photos on a.net it mentiones the aircraft parked at the National Guard base. It appearantly really gets around as it's 2 a.net photo's are from Seattle and San Juan PR. The only flightaware entry shows a recent nonstop from FLL to Manassas, pretty impressive for a Dash 8 !

Today during the above 20 mins would have been an awesome time to be at the Marina shooting Runway 31 arrivals.

Frontiers Brand new A-320 N207FR (Bison tail) arrived, no shots yet on a.net or JP

Republic's single E-190 N173HQ in a while generic scheme with Blue tail with Republic star logo shortly followed, even though been in
service around a month also no photo's on a.net or JP.

But first was this months highlight, and probably one of the top 5 of the year.

1304090

727-191 J2-KBA of the Djibouti Government (their Presidential Aircraft). For those like me not familiar with Djibouti it is a former French colony located between Somalia and Ethiopia. I did not see it in time for landing shots but did get a few so-so shots from the employee lot. Will post in a few days. Appeared to be only staying a few hours, Beautiful 3 holer !

US Airways Pittsburgh Steelers, JetBlue 10th Anniversary, AirTran Milwaukee Brewers, AirTran Orlando Magic, and best of all, Southwest Shamu all made appearances at LGA this afternoon. Photos coming soon in another thread.

[NWA DC9]

Yesterday I saw the Colts Airtran 712 plane go over my house but the only reason I knew it was coming was because my dad called and told me he was goin to be flying into LGA, so he would be going over are house. He is an Airtran Co-pilot for the 712. Here is a pic of him flying the plane over are house!http://i677.photobucket.com/albums/vv140/NJTArrow2/Airplanes/CSC_1724.jpg

Little Birdie told me the USAF 757 and N888TY were at the Five Towers today....

[cancidas]

there are 4 USAF T-38s sitting on the exec ramp here at LGA. they arrived friday early afternoon, no word on departure time.

[Speedbird1]

I finally visited LGA last week and saw a Midwest Airlines which I thought was commonplace. I now realize that Midwest is being phased-out and the bright blue livery is being re-painted by Frontier. My question is how long before there will be no Midwest livery anymore? Are there only a few airlines left or were only a few re-painted? I seldom visit LGA and was surprised to learn that the tail fin of Frontier has a different animal on almost each aircraft.

[AirtrafficController]

USAF C-9 Nightingale just landed on runway 4 a few minutes ago. USAF C-40 also was at LGA yesterday.

Sorry I don't have any news on any visitors...I was hoping someone could chime in on what military aircraft will be attending the Kiwanis Kids Day today and if there will be any flybys. Thanks

-Brian

[LGA777]

Kids day attendees: Sorry for short notice but unable to confirm what is their until now. For the first time ever ALL Military aircraft have cancelled. It was supposed to be 2 F-18's. 2 C-130's and the KC-135. All cancelled last min for multiple reasons. On the Civil side, AA MD80, DL/NW A-319 and US A-319 N742PS, and 3 Cessna's. Rwy 4-22 closed up and down 31. At least it is a nice sunny day and everything their is FREE !

Thanks Matt!

[cancidas]

looks like there are no planned runway closures for this weekend, though that's always subject to change at the very last minute. seems to be no construction activity tonight.

[NLovis]

I think with the tower change looming a few days away they might be holding off this weekend.

[Speedbird1]

Enjoyed Kid's Day w/o any military aircraft or any fly-by's. At least it wasn't canceled like the Coney Air Show. The Thunderbirds claim they don't know why that was canceled but that was already discussed. At least we got to see Trump's B-727 and the Colombian jet. If memory serves, didn't UAL used to have an aircraft on display? I still have their shopping bag somewhere in my house. What disappointed me was that there was no landing/departure of any choppers so my cap could get blown-away like last year. Most importantly, the hot dogs were more tasty than last years', and the shuttle buses were not crowded. Thanks to the NYNJ Port Authority for providing the free parking and all their planning; I always came by public transportation before, which took 3 hours from Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn. The weather was great, too.

[Speedbird1]

I spotted the "Smiling Jack" PSA aircraft yesterday while hiking around LGA yesterday. I was foolish to think that this aircraft, now used by US Airways, only appears at Kid's Day. Sadly, I never saw the new Jet Blue "NY Jets Green" aircraft. Any ideas how us spotters could find her? So far, I only caught the Philly Eagles aircraft at JFK.

742PS has always been USAir's, not just now after repaint.

It's N406FJ.

Dunno what the 8WW is about, but UJC stands for Ultimate Jet Charters, which owns the plane.

I was just going to post that I saw a North American 757 fly over Prospect Park, at 9:48AM (Nov 13th) towards LGA's runway 4. Was it a charter or a lease?

It was a sub flying for Spirit Airlines.

[MarkLawrence]

It was a sub flying for Spirit Airlines.

She's done the LGA-FLL-LGA routing for Spirit for the last 3 days - I wonder if one of the A321's is out of commission (MX or something)..

[cancidas]

either broken bad or in a scheduled mx check. i think it's more than likely a scheduled check as that would give enough lead time for spirit to set up the charter.

14 November

there are three, yes three, 727s when i left work at 2200 sunday night. VP-BDJ flew in from PBI and VP-BPZ popped in for a surprise visit as well. there was an all-white B727-200 parked by the new fire station as well. also, A6-KAH flew in, she's an Embraer Lineage belonging to the Al Habtoor Group. based on it's rarity i think this is the visitor of the month!

saw this pretty bird parked in the rain next to the fire station this morning.

That pretty bird is based out of SJC and visits LGA and TTN a fair amount. It's trackable on FA under its reg, for anyone who wants to try to catch the arrival/departure.
