And a couple just as the sun went down, wish it would have stayed out a few more minutes but was pretty satisfied with the results.

Great shots guys! Kaz, I thought you said it was a slow day yesterday? That look lookes like you guys hada great day out there. Really makin me wish I had been in New York yesterday instead of spending all day flying back to CT.

[gonzalu]

I got home and totally crashed :-( Did not even look at my computer... just woke up!! I was up at 5:00 for the sunrise and actually (technically) saw the sun go down as Eric and I chatted into the late hours. Hopefully I have time to post some pics later...

Kaz, no, I was besy being "tagged" :wink: but it was the wrong livery. I want the new livery!

[gonzalu]

Wait, Fred K., you were the one in the red Jeep Cherokee? Just as the sun came down and the late LH A380 came in? Eric and I were talking by our cars... I had you confused with our other Fred (minivan) :cool:

Next time feel free to come over and bother us! lol...

BTW there were 5 Airbus A380s yesterday and I saw them all: 2 LH A380s, 2 AFR A380s and the Emirates. It was great when the two late comers (AFR 10 and LH 410) came in.

[gonzalu]

OK, at least one ... this is why I got up early...

Although I really wanted a plane in the disc, they were on 31L Full Length and no late rotations :-(

[Roush6NY]

What a shot Manny ............ Awesome capture man !

[JHNA57]

As I was out walking the dogs yesterday evening, I was lucky enough to see almost all of those beauties (FedEx MD-11, EVA 747, AF-380, Iceland, and Lufthansa) as they turned for a long final over the North Shore. It was a welcome change from the American, Jetblue and Delta flights I usually get.

[Delta777LR]

Nice catches Eric.... Is Ukrainian Airlines regular to JFK now ?? Never seen this airline in NY.... I wanna catch that LOT SA so bad.....

Aerosvit is a regular at JFK, which usually comes around 4:30PM.. LOT SA comes like every week, I got a bunch of shots of SP-LPE! you will have many chances to catch it..

[Zee71]

Manny........awesome catch of the sunrise and the tower! I would say it was definitely worth getting up early to catch that beauty. I'll post some of my pics when I get back from my business trip. Due to weather in Dallas, I'm delayed here at Raleigh Durham for about another 3 hours (oh well). Unfortunately, I don't have my personal laptop with me. Have a great week all!

[Roush6NY]

Have a great week all!

You too Mark, safe trip pal

[gonzalu]

Thanks guys... it was a really nice sunrise... I have done that trip a lot in the past few months, only to be disappointed with low (horizon) clouds... This time it was not perfect but good enough. Now I just need some heavies rotating in front of the disc :-)

[Roush6NY]

That would be sweet !!!!

[adscram14]

Great shots, gents!
Oh gosh...not that dreaded LOT Star color scheme. I've been to JFK spotting 3 times and I've seen it all 3. I swear it follows me...

[gonzalu]

Adam, I wish we were all as lucky as you... it took me a few tries before I snagged it, and only because it was a mistake on ACARS.

[NLovis]

Love the DC-10 shots. Need to score a few of those myself one day. Manny thats a killer shot plane or not.

I have to score some three holers too. I have one and the light is crap in it. Hope next time I come down (hopefully the 16th) I'll have a chance to get teh LH cargo MD-11 in goot light this time, along with the FedEx MD-11 that i missed last time down.

The fed ex MD-11 is a hit or miss. It isnt very common into JFK. LH MD-11 is usually sometime in the morning.

Holy %^#$^$% (man you making harder to like you :wink: ) This definitely belongs to AWST cover!

[gonzalu]

Raj, you;re too kind :-) and Nick thanks too... I was not super happy about the clouds but I figured one of these days I 'll make it out there and there will be NO CLOUDS and 31L KK deps...
