I am glad to FINALLY get this aircraft! Thank you Ahmadinejad for flying in this classic beauty! You are my hero of the day!
I think I scared those out there as they have never seen me express that level of emotion :) This aircraft has a good chance to be my shot of the year.

Maybe heat exhaustion? :lol: Not sure how it was by JFK but I was up in Cold Spring Harbor for my daughters
soccer game and it was blazing!!
Great shots but now we have this idiot in town along with other idiot(s) planting car bombs!! Fun City indeed!! :)

Certainly was a very eventful day. Great to see everyone and of course the special guest, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. I stuck around to see the motorcade leave the triple hangars, pretty exciting!

Your contribution is great, but the same as the guy before and the guy afterwards (to my eyes they look exactly the same) but yes the 707 is :shock:

Trying to put aside the sad fact it's Akmedinutjob , there was group hug and a party after seeing such 707 in NY right?!

[Mayi757]

Gotham were you trying to get him waving to the spotters on the plane close up? (he shut the windows, no success) and then limo (success?) 8)

Semi-success on the limo, blurry unfortunately due to low light + movement.

[NLovis]

Came in around 6:40.
Excuse me for a minute....... DAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Plz tell me its still floating around somewhere in JFK

[JZ1]

So anyone know where the 707 will be parked while Ahmadinejad is in UN? When will he leave?

[Iberia A340-600]

Can't help the fact that there was 16 of us standing side-by-side at the mounds for the arrival!

[mirrodie]

You are my hero of the day!
I think I scared those out there as they have never seen me express that level of emotion

Um, and who posted the info? And Ahmadinene-JIZZZ is the hero!!!!???!!!!!


Akmedinutjob

It's Ahmadinene JIZZ.


Some GREAT photos here and I'm glad you got it. And I love the new cartoon Senga!

Gotham, your pic didnt work because his limo has a flux capacitor on it that instant;y blurs autofocuses of cameras nearby ;)

I may seriously have to ask one or 2 of you for a framed pic. Some great wide shots of smoke there too! Well done!



Oh yeah, any group shots? And who was in hte resting chair?

[SengaB]

Thanks Mario,
I don't think you guys know how thrilled I am to get that plane :)
I am glad you liked the satire :)

I consider myself a pretty serious person and my source of humor is very thin. I didn't know Ii anyone would find humor in it- glad some did.

BTW:
Something else that I noticed when the plane was pulling in front of the triple hangers was they cut the engines off well before the plane came to a stop. It rolled like 50 feet and then stopped. I found this a bit unusual.

[NLovis]

I feel sad now.... I missed my opportunity to improve my ISP shots :( Well time to wait a very long time again

[PhilDernerJr]

This was wild. After this, I'm really thinking about switching to video. These photos we all got almost do NOTHING for the experience of hearing that plane pass us. What a sound. I was pretty blown away.

My second favorite part was the smoke. I was watching with binoculars at the stream of smoke. I always wish I was born 20-30 years sooner, and that's why!

Here's one of my shots.

Glad I got to share the experience with so many people!!! Big thanks to Mario for the heads up! None of this would have happened without him.

[NLovis]

As of 3PM it wasnt at hanger 3. I doubt i'll have any contribution :cry:

Phil,I know, when I was a kid in the 60's and 70's the sheer scream from those 1st generation jets was mind blowing,now imagine that every 90 seconds from am till late night,that was life under the Canarsie approach during my carefree youth !!! what runway by the way ?

[PhilDernerJr]

He landed on 22L.

I remember just the 80s near LGA....widebodies, DC-9s, 727s, and I know that was still nothing compared to the previous two decades.

The only good thing to come out of Iran was that 707.

[N537FX]

Anyone know the call sign of this flight?

Now the question is when is it leaving? Thats my last shot at it.

[Zee71]

This was worth the wait! The 707 is one of my favorites. Here are my additions:

Phil,
Check out these Iranian screamers. Same Stage II sets as you heard last night.
I am sure now you can see why I am so obsessed with experiencing as many of these old schoolers as I can. Hearing those engines brings tears to my eyes :)

miss that scream,it used to serenade my dreams...... :D

[moose135]

And who was in the resting chair?
That was Gordon Senior, and he was very much awake and shooting when the 707 arrived.

[Matt Molnar]

Anyone know the call sign of this flight?
MRJ002 heavy.

When is he heading bacn to Iran?

[SengaB]

I went out to get the Iranian 707 again when it came back into JFK. I did manage to get some video of its arrival and also got some departure shots.
My camera's shutter button was giving me problems so it will have to go into the shop. It screwed up most of today's shots.
EP-AJD MRJ02. KJFK-DAAG (Algiers, Algeria)
I will upload the vid later.

Oh no you did NOT go there! :)
PHIL D!

Sure I will add the vid as soon as I can find the data cable.

[SengaB]

Here is the Video I shot of the IRIAF 707 when it came back into Pick up Ahmadinejad.
YES I know the video is crappy.

Unfortunately I forgot to put the memory card into the video-camera thing. Because of this because of this the camera defaulted to a low res MOV format low-resolution. I lost a lot of quality because of this. However the main reason I shot it was the amazing sound of those stage II engines. What an amazing aircraft. The sound is very clear.
It was 31R arrival.

Awesome video, Senga! Any idea where she parked?

[mirrodie]

Great video, love those engines. And she looks so stoic as she descends!

[seahawks7757]

Look at the smoke. Reminds me of Allen 2

[SengaB]

Thanks,
Gordon it parked in front of the triple hangers just like it did the time before. It had a lot of the same garbage blocking the plane that it had the first time.

Its too bad it was under a cloud when the plane landed as more of the smoke would have been seen.

I think it might have been Stewart. I'm not 100% though.

[iloveplanes]

Awesome shots!

[SengaB]

Gordon,
I do know it came from the south though. ADW or WRI more than likely.
I didn't stick around long enough to find out. When I do I will let you know.

Senga

[iloveplanes]

What is that at the back of the plane? Was this plane a tanker conversion or something like that?

[SengaB]

That is the refueling boom mount. It cam be easily converted to a tanker if needed.
