JFK/LGA 10/31/10

[dvincent]

Going to try to get some JFK in the morning and LGA in the afternoon... hopefully. Looks to be a nice day too. Anyone up for some watching?

[gonzalu]

I always PLAN on being out there :tongue:. Only the family and friends get in the way (and work during the week) so I may see you. If at JFK, HoBe, Costco/Panera (Firestone) or The Mounds, look for a silver Lexus SUV with NYS Ham Radio plates. If at Bayswater, well, no way you can miss one of us there :biggrin:

BTW, I have my picture in my profile. Although I'd likely be wearing much lesser attire lol.

[dvincent]

I am very easy to pick out. I have an a700 with the Sony 70-400 G, and it's in a platinum color that doesn't look like Canon White. ;) A red Red Sox windbreaker and a beige floppy hat, if I have them with me.

Winds predicted at the NW, so likely to be a Bayswater/Costco day?

[Zee71]

I'll try to make an attempt of catching up with you all. Saturday early afternoon I'll be at Photo Plus Expo.

Zee, l plan to do PPE on Sat as well although I pretty much covered it yesterday... if I go, I will SMS you.

[SDRivers]

Planning on doing PPE as well. I'll be out sunday as well, Just look for the younger guy with the D3s and a Hoody and white station wagon.

[Zee71]

Hopefully see ya at the PPE.........I'm shooting for a 1230-ish arrival time (give or take) for Sat.

Nice meeting you and your friend Daniel. Also Malcom (if he decides to visit us here on the forums!) Mark was hanging out as well. I finally caught the Egypt Air !!

Ditto on the Egypt ......... looks awesome! Didn't have much time to do post processing on all my images, but here are a few. Next stop..........Imperial Hill by LAX. I'll be there this week for a work related meeting, but plan to do some spotting. It was nice meeting some new spotters as well.

Seems like Air China Cargo had a malfunction. To H-19 we go.

Yet another

ANA grounded after the walkway malfunctioned and damaged the L1 door. From my sources it sounds like they have to replace the entire door on this new bird.

It was nice to meet you all yesterday. It definitely made the time quite enjoyable! Got home too late last night to look at things, but hopefully some shots coming up soon. :)

@NLovis,

That special bird is PrivatAir :-) Pat of KLM Royal Dutch Airlines it seems. I was spotting it from HoBe ... nice to see a closeup of it :-) Indeed rare at JFK... and it is finally gone, was not there today.

Here is a heat blurred copy of it as seen from Bayswater. Plane taking off is a Saudi Arabian Cargo 747 TF-AMU

Mark, you did it again. Turned a trip home during spotting into a winning opportunity LOL. Love the Steelers capture.
