UN Week September 20 - September 26, 2010

[Zee71]

Just a general question.......what day(s) do you foresee the international arrivals coming in for the UN session? This should be a great week for spotting.Thanks in advance.

[moose135]

Usually the weekend before - Sept 18 & 19 - should be when most of the arrivals come in.

[Delta777LR]

Im planning to come on one of those days to shoot out

[emshighway]

Yippie, more work :frown:

[Vidiot]

I'd be up for spotting on one or both of those days as well if anyone's interested.

And do we know when POTUS will address the UN? I'd like to try to get a good picture of Marine One. I think it'll be Tues or Weds, but not sure, and it's too early for the TFRs to come out.

[NLovis]

I'll be closely watching from my home on the AOA. My film camera cant handle these fast moving shots very well. Not to mention my range limitation.

[PhilDernerJr]

It's September already and no one's even mentioned UN Week until now. I'm hoping to get out there and enjoy it this time around.

[emshighway]

The big concentration for TFRs should be the 21st to the 25th. An unusual Saturday (which of course we just love to come in on weekends) is included. I would expect a big push out on the 26th with a few stragglers making it an extended weekend

[AirtrafficController]

I'll be out there this year as well. Hoping to get 4 days out of it and more VIP aircraft then last year.

[B77WYYZ]

I just noticed this thread about UN Week! What kind of aircraft or airlines are expected to JFK on top of what already comes in? I'm hoping it's something like what I just experienced this summer with the G20 in YYZ. Hope you can help, all the best, Kelli:smile:

[hiss srq]

I will miss the start of the hit parade on Monday. Hopefully there wont be much. I'll be landing at JFK on the 21st at about 9 AM and before the gear comes down on the way in I'll be getting my gear ready. I will probably spend a good portion of the day roaming around a few spots on property so if you have my BBM or phone number hit me up. Depending on the predominate runways used this week I will either be around JFK or I will bee rooftop from home (if the 31's are in use) though. And yes Tommy, I will have a beer in my hand! :p

[PhilDernerJr]

Should be pretty fun. I'll be stalking the weather all week to plan.

[B77WYYZ]

Hello all:

I am an aviation enthusiast from Canada who would be interested in knowing what is expected to arrive for UN Week next week. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Is there an advanced warning of what is coming and would it be posted on this website in advance. Hope to hear from all fellow aviation enthusiasts in the NYC area, thanks B77WYYZ:smile:

[PhilDernerJr]

UN Week offers nothing in advance. Only a portion of the flights that come in show up on the trackers. But, we know they're coming. This is like fishing, and we know that a school of huge fish will be passing through our stream at a certain time. You just gotta show up and enjoy what comes!

[Zee71]

I'll definitely be spotting and hoping to catch some of those big fish..........hook, line and sinker!

[Speedbird1]

Don't forget that LGA Kid's Day is that same weekend. Do any VIP's land at LGA? Maybe we would could spot some? Probably the PA will again close Rwy 4/22 since it's so close to where Kid's Day is held.

[B77WYYZ]

Thanks Phil

It almost sounds like I need to take the week off to catch some of the traffic coming through. I guess you don't know if there is any specific day it might be heavier in volume of UN traffic.
When does the UN Session actually kick into action? And do you have any forecast for the upcoming weather? I'd hate to come down if its raining! LOL, thanks B77WYYZ.

[Matt Molnar]

Kids Day is the 25th which may coincide with some UN departures, but they are less predictable. The UN arrivals tend to show up closer together and will start this weekend, mostly on the 18th and 19th.

[moose135]

And right now, the forecast is for very good weather Saturday and Sunday - mostly sunny, and temps in the mid to upper 70s.

I was hoping you'd say that- I was planning to do nothing but this weekend. The friendly chap in the green '98 Civic will be me.

This would be my first UN week outing, the only time that I appreciate the presence of politicians.:tongue:

[AirtrafficController]

Looks like we have our first potential UN VIP coming today (according to the trackers)
Kuwait Government A319CJ or A310. MMMX-KJFK ETA (scheduled 3:18PM arrival)

[ANITIX87]

Hi, all. I presume it is safe to assume that updates will be posted here? I hope to make it out this weekend as the forecast looks great and I have never been out for VIP week. However, I can only be free EITHER this weekend or next. Which would allow for more VIP catches??? This weekend, I can be out Saturday until about 3 and Sunday all day.

Thanks, all. Looking forward to meeting some new people. I'll be the guy with the black Ford Focus and the Canon gear.

TIS

[moose135]

You should see more this weekend - everyone will be arriving for the General Assembly session next week, and they tend to come in over the course of a few days. Obviously they will all depart again, but it is usually a little more spread out, as some leaders may spend more or less time in NYC, or may make other stops (DC, etc.) while they are in the US.

[eric8669]

I saw two today. No Pictures though. :(

One looked to be an a319, could not make out the gov't as I was sitting in traffic on Peninsula blvd and the other was the Kuwait A310.

[AirtrafficController]

Both the Kuwait Gov't A319CJ and A310 have arrived into JFK today. The A319CJ was ferried to KHPN while the A310 went to KSWF.

[mirrodie]

Exciting. NOt sure if I will head on on Sat. Sunday is a 50.50 toss. Might take the family out OR head to greenport.

Either way, look forward to the pics. Looks like there is great weather abound! What runways can we predict would be used?

I had a great time with my son last year. Spent the entire day out at Bayswater with him by the water, kicking a soccer ball around and taking photos. Good times together.

[SeriouslyFunny]

Hey all...

Looks like Cederholm and myself will be coming up this weekend. Looking to bum a ride from the hotel to any spots if anyone is going to be around JFK or LGA...there's beer in it for ya! :biggrin: Feel free to email me at: [email protected]

UN week is awesome, look fwd to hanging with the NYC guys (and gals) again!

[PhilDernerJr]

It looks like there's a private A319 enroute to JFK from Stansted with an ETA of 1130am this morning, which then has a flight plan filed to go right to Westchester after the drop-off.

The "airline" listed is Daimler Chrysler, which means it's probably A319CJ D-ADNA. Go get her!

I'm on it. heading out shortly

[PhilDernerJr]

There actually might be two planes from Daimler. I think they only have one A319, but two of them are showing up as that type. Maybe one is an error and it's their Global Express? Hmmmm.

[markg]

There were two German A319CJ's at HPN this morning.

[markg]

Went up to Stewart for the Kuwait A310 and was surprised by the sight of 5 Moroccan aircraft on the ground.

There's a B744, a B762, a B738 all belonging to RAM and two Moroccan AF C130's.

The Boeings are parked on the bottom ramp and the 2 Hercs are parked between the terminal and the runway.

[Iberia A340-600]

Interesting to hear that the Moroccan's brought their whole entourage this year, although that means they also generally bring a security detail with them. Mark, did you notice any security cars around the aircraft?

It's good to hear there is already a 747-400 up there, the upper part of the main runway is under construction and apparently some aircraft have opted to go elsewhere because of that. However there has been a Singapore A340-500 and Lufthansa A340-600 diverted to SWF in the past couple of nights so perhaps it really is not much of a problem.

From flightaware it looks like the Kuwait A319 is being ferried from HPN to SWF today.

[AirtrafficController]

South Korean Gov't B747-400? may be inbound to JFK this evening:
http://flightaware.com/live/flight/KAL8257

Can anyone in the Seattle area can confirm its this aircraft:
http://www.jetphotos.net/viewphoto.php?id=6908495&nseq=18

[sporky]

According to my ACARS server, flight KAL8257 is the 747-400 freighter HL7600.

http://www.jetphotos.net/viewphoto.php?id=6910895&nseq=0

I am unable though to get near Seatac in order to visually verify prior to departure.

-Tad

[markg]

Gordon,

No security vehicles seen near the Moroccans at all.

If you can get a tail number on the 738, I would appreciate it.

Mark

[Vidiot]

So if I had to choose between spotting tomorrow or spotting on Sunday, which would be better for UN traffic, do you think?

[Iberia A340-600]

Gordon,

No security vehicles seen near the Moroccans at all.

If you can get a tail number on the 738, I would appreciate it.

Mark

Good to hear that, Mark. If the 747-400 is in town then that generally means the King is around, hence the heightened security with the aircraft. I'll be at SWF on Wednesday the 22nd and will try and get you the tail number.

[AirtrafficController]

Looks like the Turkish Government A319CJ will be arriving overnight at JFK :frown:
http://www.helloflight.com/Flight/THY3987.cfm
I hope its delayed for an arrival tomorrow.

This usually goes to FRG from JFK so you'll probably be better off going there for it!

[PhilDernerJr]

I'll be out towards the end of the day Saturday after I get out of work, and most of the day on Sunday.

[Chris102]

Anyone know if/when the VC-25A will be at SWF?

[PhilDernerJr]

I just heard that two French Falcon tri-jets are parked at FRG near Sheltair, parked along the fence.

[heeshung]

Looks like Kuwait is bringing their 744.

http://flightaware.com/live/flight/KAC1

[bluejuice]

Air Zimbabwe Z-WPE 767-200 just arived on 13 L parked over at the triple hangers 12:15PM
Picture later

[pinktristar]

A couple of sightings - one from Canada.. M53-01 Malaysian AF 737 c/s RMF444 noted at 1228L over Montreal (thanks to Volker).. One from the UK YI-APX Iraqi Govt A300 over Manchester approx 1630L/1130EDT . Should be in the NYC area about 1930L tonight..

Will be hunting them on Monday!!

Geoff:cool:

[hiss srq]

Oh crap, they are already rollong in!? Looks like I am going to have to come back to NY tomorrow night than so I dont miss too much. When did Iraq pick up an A300? Is it a 600 or a 200?

[AirtrafficController]

Some UN VIP arrivals into JFK today:
Kuwait 747-400
Vietnam Airlines B777-200
Republic of Malawai F900
Greek Gov't Gulfstream V

[mattyry38]

Stopped by SWF today, no new movements as of 1500L today. Caught the Moroccan Entourage and Kuwait A310 on the Back Ramp; on the closer end was parked Kuwait & Turkish Gov't A319cj's. As markg put it, the two C130's are very close to the Richmor / PANY buildings; couldn't get the Reg. on the RAM B738 - tucked way in between the A310 and RAM744. Gordon, if you get any privileges this week try and get it!

Didn't take many shots, but here are some so-so's

Lets hope these birds didn't get scared off by a little KSWF construction.

[Matt Molnar]

Nice. What is the reg on the RAM 744?

[PhilDernerJr]

Chinese VIP 744...

[Tom_Turner]

Spain Air Force A310 late in the afternoon as well.

[pinktristar]

The RAM 744 is CN-RGA. Used to be an almost daily visitor to JFK before they converted the route to 767s Geoff

[moose135]

As I posted in the FRG thread, there are a pair of French Air Force Falcon 7X's parked over at Sheltair:

We had about a dozen people out at the Mounds this afternoon, but most of the action went to 13L. :frown: The only VIP I saw at JFK was at Bayswater when the Vietnam Airlines 777 departed:

http://moose135.smugmug.com/Airplanes/UN-Week-Visitors/UN-Week-2010/JM20100918VN-A149001/1012916500_Dj6R2-L.jpg

[Zee71]

I was there at the mounds then decided to relocate for some 13L arrivals. This is what I caught so far. I'm hoping for a better day tomorrow. Iran Air came in late and the lighting was poor (thus the poor image quality).

Where's the best place for 13L arrivals?

[megatop412]

I can't believe I missed the Spanish A310 and especially the SP- I went straight from the mounds back over to the 13L approaches! Like at 70mph. Then I sat there for over two hours and all I saw was the Royal 737- when did the other two come in???:frown:

[markg]

The Spanish Air Force came in around 5ish and the SP came in around 7.

There was an Air Zimbabwe B767 this morning as well

Good to see so many people out today - looked like we had more than two dozen folks at the Mounds (and no music!) We didn't get a boatload of VIPs, but did manage to catch a few:

Also, I caught the IL-96, but the lighting was very poor and I had to pump up the ISO and then clean up the noise.

The TFR (http://tfr.faa.gov/save_pages/detail_0_5927.html) over NYC is in effect on Wednesday from 1430L to 1700L.

[Matt Molnar]

I don't think AF1 will go to SWF, usually stays put at JFK.

[Iberia A340-600]

I don't think AF1 will go to SWF, usually stays put at JFK.

In previous years they've kept one at JFK and the alternative aircraft will go to SWF.

[lijk604]

The Jordanian A318 is now parked at Excelaire in Islip...where the Travolta jet was parked. Saw it this morning on my flight.

[moose135]

Business is picking up...just had the Gainjet 752 SX-RFA arrive, as well as the Global Jet Luxembourg A318 LX-GJC. Also had a Dornier 328 come in, N429FJ. Don't know if it is UN related or not.

In other news, Virgin new colors and LAN One World just arrived as well. Photos to follow.

[Zee71]

The Russian Ilyushian came in about 6:45pm, and the lighting conditions were terrible. I tried to clean up the image as best as I could given the circumstances.

The best part was listening to the tower, and the next aircraft in the sequence was checking-in with the tower. The tower tells the pilot to follow the Ilyushian..........and the pilots response was......"follow the what!!!!" I guess the guy didn't have a clue what the heck that was..........kind of funny I thought.

Does anyone know if the Ilyushian is still parked at JFK or did they move elsewhere???

Nice shirt man!

Great shots by all. Exciting varied traffic!

Nice to see the NYC contingent in one shot, can't wait to come down and share the spotting duties with ya.

[RJpieces]

I am still surprised that so many countries send VIP aircraft! Wouldn't it be much easier and cheaper to just put the head-of-state in first class on their flagship carrier?

Btw, did the Israeli Air Force send a VIP jet? Or just a chartered El Al flight?

[B77WYYZ]

Hello all

Nice to see more UN traffic show up on Sunday. Sorry I couldn't stay to get them. I enjoyed my visit on Saturday and met many new friends. I look forward to seeing you all again in the very near future, I enjoyed JFK immensely, (except for the fact they were landing on the 13's) Nice to see Rajesh again and finally meet Brian (from Virginia) and all the many new friends I met at the Mounds. see you all again, thanks, Kelli (B77WYYZ). :smile:

[Gerard]

I don't think AF1 will go to SWF, usually stays put at JFK.

I saw on that special on the History Channel "Secret Access: Air Force One" that, if I remember correctly, a back-up AF1 travels with the Presidential entourage but possibly that is only for overseas missions?

Geez am I the only one that works full time around here? Sheesh!! :wink::smile::tongue:

Well one thing I am getting in Manhattan is some very cool motorcade action. Not sure who was coming down Lex Ave this morning but was being led by Highway Patrol MCs
and they along with the security detail were actively making sure no cars came into the path of the motorcade. The threat of being rammed works!!

Hello all

Nice to see more UN traffic show up on Sunday. Sorry I couldn't stay to get them. I enjoyed my visit on Saturday and met many new friends. I look forward to seeing you all again in the very near future, I enjoyed JFK immensely, (except for the fact they were landing on the 13's) Nice to see Rajesh again and finally meet Brian (from Virginia) and all the many new friends I met at the Mounds. see you all again, thanks, Kelli (B77WYYZ). :smile:

Hey Kelli

It was good to meet you on Saturday.

I got the Vietnam and the Spanish AF A310 after I left the mounds!

Mark

The Namibian Govt Falcon 900 is at Teterboro

[Dazed767]

Thanks again guys for a good time this weekend.

As I was taxiing out tonight a blue and red TU-154 was following a follow me truck over near 31L. Just a heads up on that!

It flew over my car as I was driving back to Firestone, after bringing a couple of spotters to the terminal. If I ever find those guys online, there will be hell to pay! :tongue:

Haha...nice meeting you and Brian, and glad you got home safely!

[Zee71]

Sweet captures Luke!

Got home from work this Monday afternoon and tuned into the tower..........sounded like a couple more arrivals. Decided to pass by the triple hangers and caught a Tupolev Tu-154M and the Global Jet Luxembourg A318.

Czech Force 1 (CEF01) just checked in with Tower. Should be a 319. [and departed as of 1500L]
UPDATE: 1348L - BBJ N8767 checking in [and departing around 1535L]
1519L: German Air Force heavy (A310 10+22, as per ACARS), inbound for 22L. [gone @1642]
1607L: Here comes Turkmenistan (B763 EZ-A700) again for 22L - guess it was a short trip for them.
1625: German Air Force 802 (A310 10+21) for 22L [departing 1820]

[Zee71]

I hit the triple hangers around 1630 and nothing was sitting there, but plenty of security. Unfortunately I couldn't stay to see anything come in, but as I was leaving the field and I looked in my side mirror I saw a 707 leaving! I guess it was the Romainia departing.

[Tom_Turner]

Romania 707 departed before 1pm I believe.. was there *another* 707 today?

I can't believe I missed that 707 - silly job search gets in the way once again...

Good to see everyone today - we even had a newbie find us at The Mounds (I'm sorry - I forgot your name :frown:) who came up from Houston to spot at JFK. Hope to see you out again before you head home!

The last Luftwaffe aircraft I photographed were West German Tornados out the back of my KC-135 more than 20 years ago!

Wow, great stuff. I am punching myself for not sticking around JFK today after I landed. I saw Uzbeck from my house as I was walking in the door. What time did the 707 come in? I completely missed all of this if they were 31 arrivals somehow.

The 707 was in a 10:07, according to my EXIF. Luckily, I got to JFK 4 minutes before it came.

[hiss srq]

Crap, I was at Jamaica station when it came in. Had a feeling I should have stuck around JFK a little longer than I did.

[moose135]

Today was wasted...I got out to Firestone around 12:45, nothing had come in yet, and I settled in waiting for AF1 and watching for anything else that was inbound. After about 30 minutes, JFK switched to the dreaded 13L/22L split. Since I didn't know if anything was inbound, and not wanting to miss AF1, I stayed at Firestone and finished my lunch and caught up on some reading. About 3pm, I was able to get online and check this thread, and realize I missed the arrivals Mateo posted above (I did hear the Suriname get cleared for 13L by tower) Around 3:30, I hear AF1 call in to tower at ASALT for 13L...

I did manage one shot after she landed.

http://www.moose135photography.com/Airplanes/UN-Week-Visitors/UN-Week-2010/JM20100922VC-25A001/1018438787_VgdeN-L.jpg

Before they switched off of 31R, I managed to shoot three aircraft, a Lufthansa 747 and two JetBlue E-190s. One of the E-190s was one that I'm missing from my JB fleet shots. The photo is blurry...FML :mad:

According to Gridlock Sam in the Daily News the Pres is here until Friday.

[Matt Molnar]

I'm hearing Air Force One went to Westover Air Force Base in Massachusetts after leaving JFK, not to SWF.

[Chris102]

A few years ago one of the VC-25A's was at SWF for the duration of the President's NYC visit. However it was over in the military area and completely surrounded by C-5's.

Anyone know if there's anything good/shootable at SWF? Tomorrow's the only day I'd be able to make the trip up there.

Also, anyone see or hear of the E-4B in the area? I heard this shadows AF1 as of late but can't confirm.

[Zee71]

I hit the mounds after work, a few guys were around. Additionally, I had a gut feeling Air Force One would be using 13L, so I figured I try to catch that. Here is what I got today. Last image althought not the greatest by any means was a total surprise will at the mounds...........a tanker refueling a F22 (wish I had like a 500mm or better lens!).

[Iberia A340-600]

Figuring that I should not let my education get in the way of such a great opportunity I flew up from DC earlier this afternoon, unfortunately not with the Pres. but I did manage to spot Air Force One parked on the ramp at AFW preparing for the trip up to JFK. There are not as many aircraft parked at SWF as there were last year but I still managed to photograph 6 new aircraft

Aircraft parked at SWF: 2x Moroccan C-130, Royal Air Maroc 767-300, Royal Air Maroc 747-400, Moroccan Government 737-800, Kuwait A310, Kuwait A319, GainJet 757-200, 2x RoyalJet 737-700, Chilean Air Force 767-300, Botswana GV, Bahrain GV, Azerbaijan A319, MEA A330-200, Turkish Government A319, Air Zimbabwe 767-200, Romania 707

They were only expecting three or four more aircraft to come in before Friday.

[Iberia A340-600]

Thanks, Phil. It's parked right up against the fence if you have enough drive to take a visit to SWF.

There's a BBJ, looks like Nigeria, parked in front of the tripple hangars at JFK right now. (7am)

[Speedbird1]

Thanks for sharing. My photos of Air Force One over Coney were taken with a crappy 10X telephoto lens with an unadjustable speed control and are fuzzy but he flew over Coney exactly at 1541 followed shortly by many choppers which closed-down Rwy 13L for landings for a half-hour.

[markg]

Gordon,

Can you confirm the reg. of the Moroccan BBJ. It looks like CN-ROL to me but I just want to be sure.

Thanks!

[Iberia A340-600]

The Republic of Argentina 757-200 just touched down on 31R. (8:30) The Qatar Amiri A340-200 is parked on a T4 hardstand as well.

Mark, the registration is CN-MVI.

[markg]

Thanks Gordon!

[Zee71]

Not sure who arrived about 9:10am but it's a 747-400, reg id V8-ALl. It was sitting by the hangers. Will post image later.

[Iberia A340-600]

Mark, that would be the Royal Sultan of Brunei's 747-400. It's due to park at SWF.

[Idlewild]

Mark, that would be the Royal Sultan of Brunei's 747-400. It's due to park at SWF.

Great capture of the 747.....darn dog made me miss that departure shot. Here are mine from today. I just caught the Ykpaiha, it came in at 6:45pm on 13L just as I uploading my photo's. Not sure of the Falcon biz jet, but it was not in the norm.

[PhilDernerJr]

Safe to say that the Ukrainian A319 means we will probably never see their IL-62 again? :(

[JHNA57]

Referring to AF1 and its standby:


In previous years they've kept one at JFK and the alternative aircraft will go to SWF.

I've always wondered:

Why send the standby to SWF? I would think if it was "on standby" at Andrews, it would save a lot of issues (and maybe even some tax dollars) with regard to security and crew staffing.
In an emergency, how much longer is the flying time from ADW-NY as opposed to SWF-NY?

[Delta777LR]

Great stuff guys, since i live about 17 miles from SWF i could not get a lift over there to get some shots.. Shame!! I did manage to see the Chiliean Air Force Boeing 767-300 on downwind, couldnt be able to grab it..

I believe in an event of an emergency or problem with AF1 at JFK and the President was in the city they would helicopter him up to Stewart. Quick flight time and the plane would be ready to roll as soon as Marine 1 had wheels down.
From Downtown Heliport to SWF - 48.4 Nautical miles
From SWF to JFK - 53.9 Nautical miles
From ADW to JFK - 179.8 nautical miles

[Gerard]

BTW how was the weather tonite on the South Shore by JFK? It looked like a marine layer had rolled in at least out here on LI. Thanks.

Here my captures for the day (Friday), unfortunately the weather was not the best (fog and haze for a good part of the day). I tried to salvage what I could with some heavy duty post processing. By the way, the Japan took off around 7:15pm (well after sunset).

That Iraqi catch is stunning Eric!!!

[moose135]

Outstanding, Eric! Glad you were able to catch the Iraqi.

[LGA777]

Great catches Eric from both airports. I can almost here the sweet sound of the 707 departing !

[Zee71]

Eric, super catches!!! Ditto on the Iraqi.

Does anyone know if anything will be going on tomorrow (Sunday)? By the way, Sunday is the annual Columbus Day parade in Howard Beach. I believe the parade starts around 1230-ish. If you plan on doing any spotting tomorrow from HoBe, get there early, because Cross Bay Blvd will be traffic hell...........spotters you have been forewarned!

Here's another that I caught today........Uganda gulf stream

Great shots. Interesting door config on the Iraq A300. Side note, couldnt make out any markings but just prior to sunset a white A310 was approaching 31R over the casa. Couldnt ID it

The German Air Force A310 came in at 6:00.

Good seeing everyone at Kids Day and JFK today! I'll just post one for now:

The German Air Force A310 came in at 6:00.Pretty sure I saw the Spanish A310 out of the back of the corner of my eye as I was leaving the premises around 6:45.

When/where was the Uganda?

[Zee71]

I caught the Uganda yesterday (Sat) morning at HoBe. I don't know where they staged it, but it departed from JFK. Not a great image because of the overcast.

Nice shot of the Iraqi, Tom! I'm starting to think Kids Day is a diversionary tactic to keep dangerous spotters away from the good VIP action at JFK :smile:

[Zee71]

Caught the MEA departing, didn't think there were any more leaving.

Making a rare for me Long Island visit today and around 1705L about 95 pct positive I saw the TU-154 with a nice smoke trail behind it NE bound, I was just north of Republic !

There are still a few there. Just got back from a ride around jfk. 757 was at the triple hangers.

[Zee71]

Took a quick ride by the triples and then by Bayswater.........unfortunately the light was terrible again. Here are the last of my postings for UN Week! I'm already looking forward to next years UN General Assembly.

Couldn't get off a good shot of this because he was high and banked early.

RJA500 (A318) landed 1615L
MEA1 (A332 OD-MEB) inbound JFK 1618L

[Speedbird1]

Great shots. saw the aircraft parked next to Trump 727 at Kid's Day but security guard kept hassling me. What time did it finally depart? Won't even ask you how you stayed after 4 PM when Kids Day was over.

[Speedbird1]

I saw the MEA over Brighton Beach on 9-29 at 1624 enroute to the CRI VOR, so how could she arrive at 1618 ? Also, I never saw the RJA !318. Did she arrive via Rwy 22L?

[Speedbird1]

I was spotting at Brighton Beach on Sept. 22 and made only visual contact with a B744 heading for a 13L arrival. I never saw these markings before and saw no flag. The tail fin was white with a red spot in the center. The lettering was indistinct. It might have been a cargo flight or even a diplomatic aircraft. Does anybody have any idea what it could be? It is not shown on Passur, so I believe it was a military flight.

We had a group (8 to 10 of us) hanging around watching them load up, nobody really bothered us. A little before 4pm, someone with a "Staff" shirt told us to head toward the bus as the ramp had to be cleared by 4, but with the size of the lines still waiting to board the open airliners we knew that wasn't going to happen, and she walked away without another word to us. We even had a guy in a Port SUV pull up, and rather than chase us to the bus, he started asking about A.net and other aviation web sites, said he takes photos too. The plane departed around 4:20, and we were on just about the last set of buses, there were only a handful of visitors still on the ramp when we left after getting the photos.

Did she arrive via Rwy 22L?I reported the Cedarjet when it was still with Approach. I forget which runway the Jordanian landed on. These reports were done from my office as I was listening to the LiveATC stream and calculating the maximum per hour capacity of the B58 stop at Adams and Joralemon.

Great photos from all, really enjoyed the whole thread. The F-22 refueling was just icing on the cake. Whanks to Woz for pointing me in the right direction :-)
