Great GA set from KLGA!

[steve1840]

The shot of the DL 737 is my favorite of the set. Great stuff!

[chrisparypa]

Like that Delta shot, Star Alliance Jazz... nice catch :)

[RomNYC]

Have to agree to Steve, that DL 737 is nice! Looks MEAN!

Glad to see there was some of us at LGA today, I almost came along as I did not feel like driving to JFK... But then again, the call of college research papers was stronger!

[Roush6NY]

Thanks guys !! yes I'm with you as well on the 737, my personal favorite

[lijk604]

Nice set Kaz, loving the BBJ as well as the Star Alliance Jazz.

[Roush6NY]

Thanks so much John

[Zee71]

Great stuff Kaz!

[Roush6NY]

Great stuff Kaz!

Thanks mark :)

[gonzalu]

That SA Jazz is my fave of all but they are all great shots. YOu've been rocking that cam+lens combo !! :cool:

[Roush6NY]

Thanks a million Manny !!!

[megatop412]

Love the Chataqua ERJ colors- I have to get up there when I can tear myself away from JFK

[CarolinaSkies]

Great shots! LOVE the star alliance crj

[Roush6NY]

Great shots! LOVE the star alliance crj

Thank you very much Shane !

[mattdueck]

Great set of shots. The SA Jazz has frequented YYC enough for me to collect it in various light and shot angles. Nice to see it other than in its own country. I must admit the Cessna Sovereign always looks good. Having worked for a contractor of Cessnas here in Canada a couple years ago and building the elevators and wing spars for it, its alway nice to see those flying.

Thanks for your kind comments Matt, I actually saw this taxing at YYZ a week ago and missed it by seconds, it was really nice to see it here in NY yesterday, great new addition for me !

[threeholerglory]

awesome shots Kaz! it was an absolute pleasure meeting you, we'll have to make a habit of getting out. I'll have some shots to post in the near future!

Mike, pleasure to meet you too pal, had a great time with you and Chris. Looking forward to shooting with you again !

[NoGreenBox]

great meeting you as well Kaz... always good times finding others to share some time.. and be jealous of when you get a BBJ 30 seconds prior to our arrival! No Worries. Here are some of mine from the same day, need to polish up the editing, but its a start.. Hope to see you out again soon Kaz..

DL MD88 on Final.. Don't know why, but I just can not get into these in the new paint..

For how much longer? Don't think I will miss the Tulip as much as the Mad Dogs..

Looking great Mike

[threeholerglory]

thanks man and likewise to you and Chris! although the set would look a lot nicer with a BBJ, but ya can't win em all.

[Shamu737]

Wow, love that Delta shot!.... That is one of my favorite scemes!

[Delta777LR]

Mike love your shots man! we gotta spot together soon!

[NLovis]

Love the DAL also. Very few left in the old scheme nowadays. Since the new year has started N37700 and one MD-88 has been all that I have seen of the old set. DAL has some catches now. Hey at least somebody went for a AA MD-80 here. Get them while you can. I have a feeling we will lose those dogs before anything else. I too need to get my butt into LGA. I need to get a AA MD-80 with my new camera still....

[Roush6NY]

Here are some more from me, finished the set last night !

AA is not retiring MD-80s that quick, they will still be around for another few years. AA from what I hear be retiring a few MD-80s as more 737s arrive..

From what I heard AA is getting rid of them all by 2012. As from what it seems they are taking them off of the longer hour runs first so the shourt hauls will most likely be where we will see them towards the end of the life.

[threeholerglory]

thanks for the props, and Sergio we definitely do need to get out soon! Spring will be perfect to get out

[lijk604]

If there are any nice weekends in March, I will be making a trek to LGA. Haven't been there in quite some time.

[gonzalu]

...it was my first time shooting in over 4 months ...

That would be my only criticism, that's criminal!! :cool:

Its the DL DC95s that will be gone by 2012, the AA MD80s will be around much longer than that. You can check out the latest AA filings and other documents. What may be accelerated, due to increased fuel costs, is the rate of replacement of MDs by 738s, but it will still be a long, long process.
