New York-Kennedy (JFK) Daily Notable Visitors Report 2010-2011

[Matt Molnar]

THIS THREAD IS STRICTLY FOR NOTABLE AIRCRAFT THAT HAVE ALREADY ARRIVED.

French Gov't Airbus A310
Cathay OneWorld scheme 777

[NLovis]

"Strike Bird" N485EV Fresh out of a C check with a new coat of paint.

[Matt Molnar]

You forgot the 707 from Iran already?
This is meant to replace the "Daily JFK Report" thread that seems to have died awhile ago. The two I listed arrived on Saturday. :-)

[JHNA57]

I hope this question fits this thread!

Does anyone know the ID of an A-310 that arrived at about 20:10 yesterday (5/22/10). It was blocked from Passur but if I had to guess, I would say it was the French AF. It passed over me while I was near Roosevelt Field last night just as it was getting dark.

[Matt Molnar]

Does anyone know the ID of an A-310 that arrived at about 20:10 yesterday (5/22/10).
See the first post in the thread. :-)

[T-Bird76]

I know its only an ERJ but this is VERY rare to see around these parts.

I suspect that is a data error, Tommy. All that photog's other JPnet shots from that date, seemingly from the same angle, are labeled AMS.

[Matt Molnar]

Pharmair A319CJ N3618F arrived yesterday.

1311594

[LGA777]

Ironically the Pharmair A-319CJ is parked right next to Trump, who's 727 is still at JFK after arriving to late for LGA's curfew from LAS back on May 16, surprised they have not ferried it home yet.

I just finished a drive around of JFK and this is what is here. CX OW and JB 10 are here currently. SAA N760 just departed after a week sitting here and N491EV is expected at 2015 local time tonight.

RATS! If I stayed 14 more minutes, I would've gotten N491EV in decent light, and the Southwest diversion. B-6055 was in today, as well.

[EffyJ642]

I got a couple frames of B-6055 as it passed over my house while on final for 22L today.

[NLovis]

Rats i missed the diversion

[Matt Molnar]

the Southwest diversion.
What Southwest diversion?

[Cary]

Don't know anything about it...just saw that while sulking over my lost opportunity at N491EV. Could be a glitch, though.

[Matt Molnar]

Ahh, yes. Looks like a mistake. Arrived on time, nothing about a diversion on Southwest.com or flightstats.com.

[NLovis]

[ISP Pilot]

If anyone is at JFK today, AA179, the 9 AM JFK-SFO, is a 737-800 instead of the usual 767-200. Came in last night as AA16 from SFO.

[AirtrafficController]

VP-CPA, a lovely BBJ just landed on 4R. Looks like it's a "team member" with N777AS, both coming from LFPB. The BBJ will drop off its passengers then head back over the Atlantic to LFPB.

http://flightaware.com/live/flight/VPCPA
http://www.planepictures.net/netshow.php?id=866673

[ISP Pilot]

AA is bringing in another 737-800 again to JFK. Currently, the 737-800 is not scheduled to operate to/from JFK but LGA and EWR do see a few 737-800s. The inbound is coming from SFO this evening just before midnight as AA20 and returns to SFO tomorrow as AA15 at 10:55 am.

[Speedbagel_001]

I saw Wunala too on Friday afternoon. I was on the NSP heading west (around Westbury) and spotted the 747 flying the approach to 22.

[NLovis]

Some specials in JFK the past few weeks. N491EV EIA new 744, Atlas single remaining 747-300, DAL pink 764, LAN OW, NWA "bowling shoe" RJ, Half painted DAL 764, AF new A380 (their 3rd one) and BA OW

[AirtrafficController]

Looks like RAM brought their B747-400 into JFK today.

[flyguy1]

Saudia 747SP
Comlux A319 (HNL-JFK nonstop !)

[Speedbird1]

Yes, I spotted the Saudia 747SP as well on July 14 around 1600 departing for Riyadh. I believe it was HZ-AJP. Also spotted Jet Blue" 10th Anniversary A320, N569JB

[Speedbird1]

I was trying to spot the BA B744 with a soccer ball painted on the nose but security guards are not cooperative towards us spotters. So far, I haven't seen it and missed "Wunala" as a result. I missed "Wunala" the weeks before QFA ended their B744 service to LAX. I am aware that they now use a lowly Airbus instead. Sorry for the confusion.

[lijk604]

Umm, this must be an old post, as "Wunala" and all the other Qantas 747's have stopped flying to JFK effective July 5th. They fly the A330 here now.

[AirtrafficController]

Nice looking BBJ came into JFK today from KIAD:

[NLovis]

Saudi SP over at the 3 hangers. Idk when it is leaving but its on the ground at JFK. Side note i hope to finish sorting through my photos tonight or tomorrow. Then I will flood :lol:

Edit. Cathay cargo "Silver Bullet" just touched town on 13L

[Speedbird1]

Saw interesting aircraft at JFK on July 27. First I saw the SIA B744 bearing "Star Alliance" on its fuselage in bold letters, Reg. 9V-SPP. Later I spotted Turkish Airlines TC-JJB with "Official Sponsor FC Barcelona" on its fuselage. Next, I saw Swissair's HB-JMJ, with a colorful livery called "Flower Power". I was glad to see Air Jamaica still bearing her colorful livery. How much longer until they will be re-painted into "Caribbean Airways" logo?

[flyguy1]

LH operated a 777F on their FRA-JFK-FRA cargo rotation this am. Flights were #8160, and #8161. I did not see this plane, wondering which carrier operated it (Aerologic?)

[SengaB]

Yes it was BOX B772F. Of course it would come in while I was 4 hours south. Also missed the AFR Cargo B744F that came in the same day. Senga

[Speedbird1]

Try to view the China Eastern A346 in a very colorful Shanghai Expo 2010 livery. It says "Better City, Better Life". Reg. B-6055. It visited JFK last Friday Aug. 6 but the aircraft are rotated. At least when the ANA "Pokemon" B744 used to come to JFK, it was posted in advance on their website. Good luck!

[Conor Clancy]

Hi all - long time no post.

I was up on the roof of my apartment trying out Tethered Shooting on Lightroom and the Etihad Grand Prix A346 flew over. I believe it was ETD101, so she should be on the ground by now.

http://i53.tinypic.com/2my54wi.jpg

Just a heads up.

[PhilDernerJr]

Nice catch Conor! Glad to see you back. Hope all is well.

[NLovis]

C-17 still at the triple hangers as of 7PM 9/8/10

[Speedbird1]

Went to Brighton Beach to bid farewell to summer yesterday and get some sun. Saw some great aircraft. Sadly, my crappy point-and-shoot camera was of little help but I noticed some unusual arrivals. There were 2 CCA B744's arriving past the beach. I thought I was hallucinating. Their regular flight arrived but there was a flight, CCA30 from KADW around 1424 as well. Then, I noticed several European inbounds. I checked on Passur and noticed that Rwy 22L was closed intermittently I guess due to VIP aircraft. I was surprised to see a Swiss A333, as well as the BAW A318. Both are rarely seen using Rwy 13L. When 22L finally re-opened I missed KLM, the AirFrance A388. Even by car with all the traffic, it's impossible to drive out from Brighton to the Mounds in time. You can't be in 2 places at the same time.It was a delightful day and so is the prediction for Saturday. Regards to my fellow spotters; especially those who always post such great photos. This site is the reason I bought a laptop. Phil does such a wonderful job!

[Speedbird1]

Yes, my post acknowledged that they no longer fly the QFA into JFK anymore. Hoping, they might paint a "Wunala-type" scheme on their A3456 but I guess not. I did see the "One World" scheme recently. I fear Qantas will stop all service to JFK by next year and use a code-share with AAL. Qantas left JFK for decades in the past. I had to fly out to LAX to see their aircraft. A good excuse to travel; I love LAX.

[NLovis]

Ethiad Formula One currently on the ground at T4

[gonzalu]

Where is the best spot to catch a glimpse of this rare bird?

Unfortunately, she departed back to Abu Dhabi at 11PM last night.

LOL, gotta be quick around NY !!!

Thanks

Etihad Formula 1 inbound to JFK again today. ETA 1415.

[AirtrafficController]

EgyptAir B777-300ER came into JFK this past Saturday and today as well.

[markg]

Egyptair have now upgraded the JFK flight to a B777-300 permanently

[gonzalu]

Etihad F1 came in yesterday afternoon which was a total surprise. Is it only a special flight or is it in the rotation for the regular flights to NY?

[megatop412]

The slowpoke in front of me took his sweet time making the left turn into Costco, or I would have gotten a great side-on of F1 yesterday. So I took the shot through my windshield and got a mediocre shot.

Probably someone who didn't even need the 40-roll pack of toilet paper they were going to buy.:mad:

[gonzalu]

Classic Costco move... you should have met us at Panera... it was wide open, no traffic :-0 I will post mine later tonight if I ever get a chance on the computer.

[hiss srq]

The Atlas 744 painted in Emirates Cargo colors was here last night. She landed on 4 Left and for a moment before I remembered the ACMI I flet like I was in a weird twilight zone where EK had 744's. Suprisingly, I did not see our faithful JFK reporter on some form of an airport vehicle racing along a perimiter road taking pictures. :cool:

[gonzalu]

Nice! Is it still there? I was coming out for the A380 which is inbound... but of course it is POURING outside :-(

[NLovis]

The reporter isnt in on Mon and Tues. But the report now is N22MS is on the ground at JFK. EIA corp Leer. ETD is unknown. Were looking for $$ for more -400.

[AirtrafficController]

TAM Star Alliance A332 was parked at a hardstand today.

[gonzalu]

Not sure if anyone cares but Sun Country 737 landing at JFK now. Departs back to Minneapolis at around 11:00am

[eric8669]

Not sure if anyone cares but Sun Country 737 landing at JFK now. Departs back to Minneapolis at around 11:00am

Thought that is a daily visitor?

[gonzalu]

You;re probably right of course, but I had never seen it and caught it by accident two days ago in the evening. Flightaware does not have a long track for it... so didn't think it was a regular regular :-)

[Iberia A340-600]

There was a Saudi 747SP yesterday at JFK and according to a thread on Airliners an all-white A340. The A340 was most likely the Qatar Amiri A340-300 A7-AAH, it flew from DOH-MUC yesterday.

[Matt Molnar]

There was a Saudi 747SP yesterday at JFK
Probably the King, in town for back surgery.

[bluejuice]

here is a picture of the Saudi 747 that departed Sunday @ 07309 Sorry for quality-http://s91.photobucket.com/albums/k312/shepmp/?action=view&current=RAMP27FIXEDLINKPTZ430.jpghttp://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k312/shepmp/RAMP27FIXEDLINKPTZ430.jpg

[gonzalu]

Wow, nice boid! Where was it stashed? I did not see it on my "rounds" LOL

[Zee71]

I saw this pop-up on ACARS; Air Baltic; Reg ID: HZ-WBT7. Couldn't locate anything regarding arrival or departure times, etc.

[gonzalu]

I think that's the plane above :-)

[njgtr82]

Its at EWR now, comes in about 4-5 times a year.

[heeshung]

United Express E170 operated by Shuttle America inbound according to FlightAware.

Also, two EgyptAir 773 due in, one the usual flight from Cairo, and one from Vienna.

[gonzalu]

I think I got the ERJ

http://manny.smugmug.com/photos/1109826001_9EpgH-O.jpg

I saw it inbound far away and assumed it was nothing much, was actually busy on a conference call and when it touched down, I ran out of the car but was late to catch the smoke! It was on the ground for maybe 30 minutes and turned right around and left.

[Mateo]

-WBT7 still at EWR? Any indication as to when it's leaving?

[gonzalu]

-WBT7 still at EWR? Any indication as to when it's leaving?

Where is it? If you give me an idea of where it is parked, perhaps mark or Woz can tell us if it is shootable :tongue:

[Mateo]

Still there as of 1630L this afternoon. Parked up on the west end of the North area, right by the usual DHL spot. Best view was from the P4 garage, but I don't shoot EWR, so I have no idea what photography angles are like.

[NLovis]

EIA Supertanker N479EV will be doing a fuel n go at JFK this morning. ETA is 0500 and ETD is 0700. I will be updating as the day goes.

Edit: As of 0359 N479EV was on the ground.

[gonzalu]

I hope she is late leaving ;-) Don;t think I'll make it for 7am

[NLovis]

I hope she is late leaving ;-) Don;t think I'll make it for 7am

Nope. She looks to be off blocks on time. Hurry hurry.

Edit: Shes airborn as of 0753. She will return from TLV this way so if you missed her you may have one more chance

[gonzalu]

I made it :-) thanks to you... what a beauty! I will post later, busy with chores!!! ugh... :mad:

[Iberia A340-600]

Gorgeous shots, Manny! Good thing she was heavy. I don't think I've ever seen an Evergreen give a decent bank from 31L.

[gonzalu]

Thanks Gordon... or any other cargo for that matter LOL. It seems the Cargo planes have extra power, or passenger flights are heavier or whatever. FedEx is known for such early turns, I will be giving up on them soon... You can only count on the foreign heavies (passenger) to bank late but they also never bank hard. For me the best banks and locations have been British Air 747s and Delta 747s for the quads. South African sometimes does well. Would love to see a daylight departure of an A380 from 31L :cool:

[Speedbird1]

Saw an MD-11F from Cargo Italia yesterday from the Q-10 bus. The registration was EI-EMS. Also saw AFR A388, reg. F-HPJA , and the Emirates A388 landed on Rwy 31L. I saw a Jet Blue with what appears to be a soccer play painted on the fuselage and the word "Real"; got no tail #.

[gonzalu]

That Cargoitalia keeps messing with me. Such an irregular schedule and I always miss it :-(

[Delta777LR]

Got word that there's a UA Boeing 747 at T7 now.

[Ari707]

there was a UA 777 at JFK yesterdday http://flightaware.com/live/flight/UAL9791

It then flew JFK-SFO http://flightaware.com/live/flight/UAL9792

[Ari707]

just left as UA9790 http://flightaware.com/live/flight/UAL9790

[hiss srq]

Additionally, there was a United 744 at JFK yesterday. She was in the grey whale scheme. That was a refreshing sight to see indeed. I texted a few people about it but by the time I saw it it was too late to take a pic and after the week we have had at JFK I'm enjoying every second that I dont see an airplane unless it is over my house.

[Zee71]

Here is the UA 747-400...departuring off 31L

Saudi MD-11 due JFK 1651L.

[NLovis]

Saudi MD-11 AND 747-SP on the ground at JFK. MD-11 at B-66 and the SP is at AA hanger 11

[AirtrafficController]

Also a Saudi 757-200 visited JFK today. Arrived around 14:30 local time.

[chrisparypa]

any word when is SP departure ??

[NLovis]

any word when is SP departure ??

No word but seeing as the MD-11 is powered down I dont think it will be going anywhere soon. Will be some lovely shots of these rare birds with the snow on the way.

[gonzalu]

The MD-11 was being deiced this afternoon, SP is still covered in snow... Waited until 4:30 and the MD-11 never left. There is also the 757 over by the El-Al cargo area but it is hard to get a clear view... nose is blocked no matter how hard you try even from the Iceland Air area...

Finnair MD-11 SUPPOSEDLY never left Helsinki and then suddenly showed up on Flightaware as landed... I never saw it or heard it land... weird. If indeed it was very late, maybe just maybe I get a shot at it leaving tomorrow morning :-) One can dream LOL.

[chrisparypa]

Im planning to go out tomorrow for whole day long, hope tocatch something good.... maybe SP :)

[gonzalu]

Chris, unless they work on it overnight QUICK and then leave before dawn, you should be able to catch it. At least it was sitting there still covered in snow and no sign of APU or DeIcing around 4:30pm EST

[Zee71]

Here are my two shots (I couldn't do any better than this). Forget about the 757, I saw it but not do-able!

The SP was impossible without a fence in the way... I tried your spot as well but the AF got fooled by the fence enough to make it soft :-(

The rest of the Saudis left last night - 3 Triples, the MD-11, the SP, and the 757. 777AS is still kicking around. And how much per gallon are we paying now? :confused:

[gonzalu]

Interestingly I was down to 10 miles on my tank so I filled up as I exited the airport at $3.50 per gallon!!! REGULAR...

[adscram14]

Interestingly I was down to 10 miles on my tank so I filled up as I exited the airport at $3.50 per gallon!!! REGULAR...

Jeez. Only about 3.05 in the Charlotte area and since we get our gas in SC (5 mins from the house) it's only 2.94 regular.

[steve1840]

Interestingly I was down to 10 miles on my tank so I filled up as I exited the airport at $3.50 per gallon!!! REGULAR...

and I thought that paying 3.35/gal today here in CT was bad.

[gonzalu]

It's all NY Taxes... we need more republicans up in Albany and more people willing to put up Wind Mills or something to make up the difference in revenue. It should not be taken out of driver's backs. PEOPLE WILL DRIVE!!!!! Regardless of gas prices, never enough people will break the backs of the Oil cartels to lower prices. They are the best crack dealers in the world. They know EXACTLY how much we tolerate and float it at that level forever... it will take hard work for gas prices to be controlled. People will simply give up other things but driving their cars is the last they will give up.

Or perhaps if we had the passenger rail system that Europe has, we would see less cross country driving.

[hiss srq]

From high above in the late evening glow I am watching the most magnificent of sights... a 737-200Adv. in the que behind Air India to go on 22 Right... Songbird 6401 to Havana.... What a beaut... From here I would be eye level with her as she climbs out of the 22's..... Too bad I dont have my SLR with me at work ever.

[gonzalu]

We all waited for her on the beach at HoBe but she never left while you guys had the 31s open :-( Nice someone got her leaving :-)

But, 4:33pm? Hmm, I could have sworn we were listening and never heard her check in or leave.

What about that Presidential 757? What was up with that little surprise?

[hiss srq]

That was a standard SAM flight... Nothing special about it... No name dignitaries on board. No special handing... No one special on board.

[Zee71]

737-200 leaving.........as Manny stated we waited and waited........I can't believe we missed her departing. Oh well.......such is the life of spotting!!! Here is a shot of her on a short final to 31R.

http://mbsphotography.smugmug.com/Aviation/Airplanes-and-Spotting/Kennedy-JFK/N249TR73701JFK30Jan2011/1172668281_SSa4W-XL.jpg

[gonzalu]

Ah, but it did have a flashing light escort did it not? Nice looking 757 though, love that scheme. Hope the new VC-25s or whatever they'll be keep the same or similar c/s

[hiss srq]

They had one Port Suburban ahead of them on the escort to the que. Nothing special.

I noted a BBJ in QS c/s at HPN on 25Sep, but wasn't able to see anything between the nose and the tail. I see 9H-BBJ flew across the Atlantic on both 24Sep and 29Sep. Anyone know if HPN was indeed the destination while it was in the US?

[adscram14]

I know this thread says already arrived, but I didn't know where else to put this.
BAW183 is the Oneworld scheme.

Unfortunately, it is late at night both directions :-(

There's a VIP TFR (http://tfr.faa.gov/save_pages/detail_1_8009.html) up around LGA today and tomorrow, the C-17 may be related to that.

[gonzalu]

Looks like the VPOTUS is coming in?

[moose135]

Just checked, and VPOTUS was in NYC for several events today. Based on the TFR, he's probably leaving in the morning.

AIR JAMAICA 738 ON THE GROUND IN JFK.

[bluejuice]

This AC was parked over by the NAA aircraft and departed this morning as TSU361 - A Canadair B Cosmopolitian from JFK to Hagerstown operated by Contact Air Cargo---isn,t Flight explorer cool when you have it!

[Mateo]

Not quite a Cosmopolitan (only 13 built; 2 active remain, 1 in Panama, 1 with Bolivian AF); but a stretched Convair 580. Good catch; from what I know, these mostly schlep car parts around, and aren't part of the IFL program based in South Florida.

[NLovis]

Lufty 404 "super" just touched down.

[NLovis]

737-700 charter at T1. Very plain all white but super clean. Think its leaving at 0900 as AM8503.

[gonzalu]

I got lucky yesterday morning and got her coming in. I was about to go into Costco to get the shopping out of the way and I decided to wait... the call sign sounded waaay off from the usual suspects LOL.

The shorts departed VFR in this pic northbound and I'm looking at the 737 parked down on T4 as we speak

[NLovis]

Alright. Next question. Does it look like its leaving anytime soon? Ill be at JFK within the next hour for work so I can swin in via my side if its hangin.

[hiss srq]

It will be going anytime between now and 1700 or so... It's going to Havana

Amiri A330-200 A7-HHM should be parked at JFK right now.

[bluejuice]

This morning arrived about 0830 and departed at 1000 a white 767 with what looked like a silver extension added to it forward of the wings. Arrived with an escort and parked by the triple hangers to police presence. The most i could get off it was reg 7A-xxx in very small letters near the rear door . Flight explorer listed it as DAL 9933 to atlanta? Any clues???

[AirtrafficController]

Comlux ACJ parked next to Hangar 12.

[NLovis]

Qatar A330 at the triple hangers

[moose135]

Is that the Amiri Flight that I heard came in a couple of days ago?

That might be the A320 at the other VIP area by Hanger 11. Its been here a few days to my knowledge.

Martinair 747-400F currently in the Fed Ex cargo area where Iceland cargo usually parks. ETD is unknown.

Took a quick ride to get a look at the Martinair Cargo. Here you go! Additionally, arrived around 5-ish, and sitting at the triple hangers is a Royal Air Maroc 737 (reg id: CN-MVI)

A Pullmantur Air B747-400 is parked at a hardstand in the T4 ramp. N767KS is still parked in front of the triple hangars, the wounded AFR A388 parked behind them.

[Zee71]

While landing on 13L today (4/15) I was able to snap off a few shots of N767KS sitting at the triple hangers. Will post photo shortly. Saw the AF A380 as well sitting behind the hangers.

Nice catches, Mark. The Emir of Qatar has been visiting the US this past week so I imagine the A330 has something to do with that.

[AirtrafficController]

N3, FAA C56X just landed on 22L.

http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4134/4824786803_bc57a45985.jpg

[Iberia A340-600]

A Saudi 747SP is parked in front of the triple hangars, looks like it came in a little while ago. I also noted an Air France 747-400 at Terminal 1, seemed rather early in the day to have one here, I imagine it was an upgrade.

[gonzalu]

One of the only reasons I made it to JFK today... I wouldn't have otherwise give the clouds :-)

http://manny.smugmug.com/photos/i-4btCJW5/0/O/i-4btCJW5.jpg

Saw the AFR 747 on 22L but did not even attempt it due to distance and the fact that it would just parallel 31L/13R and not even be visible :-( They also used the A340 again today. No A380... I guess the downed bird behind the Triple Hangars is hurting them on this route. BTW, the wing looks complete and finished as of mid-day today.

[AirtrafficController]

Saw German Air Force A310 land as the sea mist rolled in. Didn't see where he parked but I assume its the Triple Hangars.

[hiss srq]

A quick note on the Pullimentar 744, it was spotted in Vegas 2 hours ago.... Corseair just landed a 744 here at JFK... I wasnt here last year so I don't recall if it is a seasonal or not but this is the first time I have encountered one.

[AirtrafficController]

Hey Ryan.
Its flying for Air India as their pilots are currently on strike. I'm pretty sure Jet Airways also picked up some of the slack as well.

[Iberia A340-600]

I believe that Pullmantur 747 was operating for EL AL.

[NWA DC9]

Saw Travolta's 707 fly over my house yesterday coming from JFK!

[AirtrafficController]

Aerogal A320 came in last night.

[eric8669]

C-17 by triple hangers. Came in this morning while i was waiting for my flight.

[hiss srq]

A C17 came in under cover of early morning dark as part of Obama's lead team. Look out for a TFR to be issued within the next 24 to 48 for his arrival.

[hiss srq]

Whoops, Eric got to it before I got a chance

[hiss srq]

The Emir is back again w his A330 and crossing 22R as I write. He actually almost overran on 22L.

[Zee71]

While on my way to Bayswater for some early morning spotting (which never happened due to the gate being locked and fog), I passed by JFK. To my surprise this DC-8 was getting ready to head out. Unfortunately I couldn't get her taking off of 4L because they sent her to 31L at Kilo Kilo. The departure shot was the best I could do considering where I was and the weather conditions (low ceiling).

I wasn't sure of where to post this but I just spotted a C-17 flying over north over Wantagh today, and then turned west over Jerusalem ave.

As I was driving to JFK last week I caught this guy last Sunday (6/19) around 6:45am departing off of 31R. Anyone know the REG ID??? By th way....I had to crop the heck out of these.

Nice catch, Mark. That's HZ-101. She was parked at SWF last night when I drove by. I believe the aircraft belongs to the finance minister of Saudi Arabia.

[Mateo]

Is that 101? Looks more like 102, but the heat haze is pretty bad.

[adscram14]

Looks like 102 to me as well, which is also owned by the Saudi Air Force.

[Iberia A340-600]

HZ-101 is the aircraft parked at SWF. It's possible both aircraft are around.

[adscram14]

US Airways heritage Piedmont is heading up on AWE1442. I'm onboard, so if anyone could get a picture, that would be great!

Dreamlifter's here. Saw her passing over FRG for 22L.

I almost drove off the Northern State when it passed overhead. Coming at me head on, I thought it was an A-380, but then I saw the bulge.
I must say, today the "spotting gods" were smiling down on me, it seemed like all the 22 arrivals were sent further nort and west than usual. A Sikorsky s-92 Helibus even made an appearance.

[NIKV69]

sunrise was at 6:02. plenty of light.

Actually sunrise is when the sun first begins to break the horizon Eric so depending on what you are trying to shoot you need the sun to get a little higher, especially departures that usually takes more than 20 mins. Not to mention broken clouds where everywhere.

[mirrodie]

Nice. Glad y'all got the Dreamlifter catch.

Well I have been at Bayswater at Sunrise, and I have gotten great shots. if this plane left a half hour after sunrise that should be plenty of light. just saying.

[MarkLawrence]

We had it down here in MIA for the longest time too - work on the wings - never in a good spot to get a clear shot though....

Cary, I knew you would curse us... :tongue: We just happen to be lucky, that's all... absolutely zero planning. Etihad F1 was the same for me... only rare special I did expect (thanks to Mark "Zee71") was Swiss San Fran, and that blew chunks since it was ppor weather and they totally screwed us on the landing config!
