JFK - 8/20/2010

[moose135]

Had some time this afternoon, and with JFK landing 31L/R, I headed over to Firestone. Spent close to two hours out there, first time I've been out in a while.

First time I've caught the Alitalia A330

Another first for me - China Eastern A340

And the surprises kept coming - I didn't know Aeroflot was sporting Skyteam colors!

And yes, one more new one for me...

What a cute little airplane - I forgot how small the A318 looks!

And what would an afternoon at JFK be without a little JetBlue action? I didn't get any new airframes to add to my collection, but did get one in new paint. Checking my spreadsheet, I'm missing 7 of 154 active aircraft (I'm also missing about a dozen they sold off in the past.)

Around 5:30, they switched to Rwy 4. I took a ride over to Bayswater, even though I knew the light wasn't going to work.

I was rewarded with this Turkish 777 - I had no idea they added the Manchester United titles.

Moose,
THY flew Man. U. to the USA this summer, for their summer exhibition tour. Hence the titles..

Nice Moose! I've shot the Turkish B738 with Man United at Zurich - but didn't know they had a 77W with it as well..
