Wow, nice shots. The Iberia looks great, and that tends to be a boring aircraft!

I'm confused by the 757-300....do they normally bring that in? If so, I really need to go out of my way to get that!

Thanks Phil..

I just did a quick search on Airliners and don't see any pics of the Iceland Air 753 at JFK.

It was a surprise to me when it came in.

Great day at the Mounds. The weather was perfect with winds from the South and clear skies. Thanks to Senga for heads up on the Iceland Air 757-300pax. Eric, looks like you were spotting behind me. Sorry I didn't see you.
Here are some highlights:

[Iberia A340-600]

Nice catch on the Icelandair 757-300, guys. TF-FIX is the sole -300 in the fleet and mainly operates to LHR and CPH although it has been used to BOS in the past and I imagine was used to JFK yesterday to catch up with some backlog of canceled flights.

Maby it will show up again today? I think what they did last year was they has 2 daily flights for the summer since while I was working at T7 they always had another Ice flight that didnt op. Maby its being used this year for the summer instead of a second flight.
