happens every night at almost that exact same time. :)

[Mateo]

FR24 showing today's Transaero is a 763 again

[Jared Blech]

TNT 744 just landed at JFK, I will be out tomorrow morning to hopefully catch it depart!

[Mateo]

Totally missed the prep for this one; looked outside and saw a Coast Guard ship floating in front of the Wall Street helipad, checked the TFRs, and there it is. TFR effective at 1500L, so expect AF1 within the hour.

[TJK]

Damnit. Off from work this week and I missed all of these updates. V-22/ Heli contingent left a short while ago, headed for Wall Street I assume. Any thoughts as to when they'd be headed back to JFK? Where are they generally situated? Would love to drive by and get a look if its still daylight.

Doubtful... C-GWSZ is an -800 and they look to be flying -600s to JFK... maybe in a pinch it will come in? But likely not since it is a longer range higher capacity unit.

[LGA777]

Haven't seen here at LGA yet and Westjet has 8 flights a day (6-600, 2-700) with occasional 800's on equipment subs especially on bad delay days when 2 or 3 flights might be cancelled and they send down an 800 just like Air Canada has been doing for years with the 767.

[Zee71]

Kuwait (KU101) today (5/1) is an A340 according to PlaneFinder and FlightRadar

[gonzalu]

Alitalia Calabria Special A330 should be in around 1:00pm today.

[TJK]

Was there a C-17 at JFK yesterday? Was at HoBe in the evening just around/after sunset and saw what looked like the profile of one departing from 4L.

[Zee71]

Yes .... the C-17 was there for a couple of days.

[TJK]

Yes .... the C-17 was there for a couple of days.

Thanks. I assume there's no way to track them as they're military? I'd love to get some arrivals or departures of them. I got one at sunset a few months back out of nothing but dumb luck. Thanks for the info, Mark.

[Jared Blech]

Basically, the only way to track them is to know when the President is arriving. They normally will bring two military support aircraft (i.e. C-17, C-5, etc) the day before the president arrives. From my experiences, it's sometime in the morning, around 10AM-12PM.

I just saw this on the Lufthansa Cargo Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/lufthansacargoag?fref=photo (https://www.facebook.com/lufthansacargoag?fref=photo)). Charlie Papa is going to make her last flight through JFK on May 12th en route to Tulsa, OK. The left side looks like it has employee signatures on it.

Goodbye, Charlie Papa! Our staff already bid their farewells to our most senior freighter. The MD-11F will fly her last flight on 12 May, taking off from Frankfurt/Germany at 9:10 AM local time and flying to JFK airport in New York (arrival at 11:50 AM local time). After that she will take off for her last mission to the Lufthansa Technik Component Services in Tulsa/Oklahoma, arriving at 3.30 PM local time. If you spot her on one of her last flights up in the air, take a picture and send it to us per direct Message. We then will share the best images here on our page.

[TJK]

Two charter or VIP A320s and a Saudi A340 by the deicing tent. It's a downpour now so I don't think I'm going to get photos worth anything, but if the weather breaks, they'd be a nice few catches.

[adscram14]

Word is that a UAE C17 is arriving in Charlotte at 6:40. Now to play the runway guessing game...

[Zee71]

Update: Looks like it's going to O'hare instead of JFK

PlaneFinder is showing a 747 Air France Cargo inbound to JFK. Flight number AF6736, Reg F-GIUC

Well...it appears CLT has not one, not two, not three, not four, but five or six (possibly depending on mx issues) KC-135s on the ground. I hear that spotting is very limited and they are set to depart at noon tomorrow. I have a party at 11:30 so I'm trying to get out earlier...we'll see...

Great shot John. She's a beauty. It's amazing how good stuff can look when you take pride in your work and take quality pics.

[Zee71]

No insurance needed here either! Looks good in person and I totally concur with Steve .... If one takes pride in his work (exposure, composition, quality, sharpness, etc.), the aircraft (or image of whatever you are taking) makes it more appealing and beautiful. When I look at my past spotting images I was very relucant to post poor quality images. After spotting with others and learning from them, my images have improved substantially. Thanks for all your help gents!!! Here is the China Eastern departure in some beautiful late afternoon light!.

A early heads up for you. A big German candy producer places advertisement on a TUIfly 737-800. You may know their first two planes http://flugzeugbilder.de/show.php?id=1338562 and the already gone http://flugzeugbilder.de/show.php?id=1283557 . Now there is a new one coming up, and there is contest where you can win a trip to NY, they are going to use the aircraft on. The aircraft is going to land in Newark April 25th (the trip you can win is leaving NY the 28th, so i guess the aircraft stays untill then) This is how the plane is probably going to look, also probably the only chance to catch those colors in the States.
For thos not speaking German and from Island, there is going to be a stop in Keflavik

Not that it matters with this weather and this much advance notice, but a Volga-Dnepr Antonov 124 should be landing at Stewart in the next 15 minutes.

I was tipped off on the AN124 moments after it was posted here. I grabbed my camera, jumped in my car, and got to Stewart just in time to see the tail vanish behind the trees and it moved down the runway. Missed it by THAAAT much!

Unfortunately, they parked it on the south ramp today, right behind the NYSP Aviation Unit building. that area is pretty much impossible to get a clean shot of these days. I sat around for a while, grabbing a few obstructed shots of it as they raised the nose, and lowered the floor down for loading, but I had to leave long before it departed.
