JFK 2/20

[wunaladreamin]

Always good to see the old crew out with some fresh faces mixed in. Just a few from today.

Nice Kenny!!! Love the AA and the B6 10th!

[N221UA]

Kenny you missed the urgent call from Washington right after you left!

[wunaladreamin]

I heard. Joe called me just after he left. Total bull**** and completely unnecessary iffin you ask me. But on a better note, curling is on and there's a certain blond on the Great Britain team who could sweep my ice anytime iffin you will (and iffin you won't). lol

[hiss srq]

Nice AA 757 right there. Nice invite D bag! :twisted:

[AirtrafficController]

Great outing today with the crew. Great to see Kenny waving to curious drivers and Gordon with his own set of wheels. The Port Authority police encounter was surprising but at least it ended on a friendly note. Here are today's best:
As Kenny said it best: the last jetBlue we will ever shoot for a long time

Three of us we're waiting for Wnuala to come in on 31R until they switched to the 22s. I raced to Rockaway Blvd. and pulled over the cargo buildings and just got in time. Too bad the sun started to dip behind a thick layer of clouds but at least I finally have her.

LOL Figured you'd flake out again bro LOL. Remember Jello wrestling night? LMAO!

[hiss srq]

My own little event ended up transpiring that night. :lol: It's better to be in the action than the crowd. :borat:

I am curious about this PAPD encounter. Someone message me the details.

[Iberia A340-600]

Nice shots, Kenny and Luke. Despite the ominous cloud layer, which staid away until the end, and the encounter with the Port Authority "detectives", it was a pretty decent day!

Here are my two catches of the day:

And screwed again by Wunala. By the way, there is A LOT of snow at the mounds.

[wunaladreamin]

True indeed my friend, true indeed.

Those Lufthansa shots are OUTSTANDING!!! TOTAL ARTISTIC EYE CANDY.

[NLovis]

Yea they were departing from 31R :shock: Anyway brand spanking new cathay B-KPP. Only 10 days old :borat: Be on the lookout for more as it seems Cathay is getting them quick. Which also means less visits from Asia's World City now :( Anyway perfect day. The sun was really good today. My pics came out so good.

[N221UA]

Ditto! Love the Lufthansa shot Zee71! My plan was to head to HoBe after Firestone, but after the PAPD encounter I decided to scrap the plan.

Everyone good job on the Wunala! Last time I shot it was 3 years ago when it was landing on 4R, needless to say, it was backlit like hell.

[N221UA]

Since everyone pretty much covered today's highlights, I decided to show a few other off the beat shots

Started off the day at LGA World's Fair Marina, pretty much uneventful except we saw one go around by a Delta 752 but otherwise it had been a slow and cold morning. They have been using 31 for takeoff and landing

After a stop at Checkers for lunch at Elmont, we headed to Firestone before the day was cut short by the DC phone call.

[wunaladreamin]

Mario, you had to see the friggen bird. It took the cigarette, then took three steps, shot me one of those "what mother **** looks", and repeated the walking and looking a couple more times before flying away with it LOL.
