(subtitled.. I don't bite)
I was able to make it out for a couple of hours today to both LGA and JFK, really interesting with the Fog and how quickly the conditions went from very nice VFR to kind of a nightmare. I was at the mounds the same time as Eric (I think thats your name) but you didnt seem to want to say hello and I figured I smelled.. so, no chance to introduce myself. Anyway, here's my take on the day of fog..
1) UsAirways E190 outbound from 13 at LGA

2) Oddly, this is the first time I have gotten an AA762 in okay light that I was happy with

3) nice to get the beacon, this little guy was bouncing around quite a bit on final.

4) Even the A320 struggled a bit with the crosswinds

5) Little less difficulty with the winds, and nice light for this beautiful aircraft

6) No DH8 today, so I had to do a double 757, one close up and one standard.

7) 757 standard, still beautiful..

8) The previously mentioned go-around by the AF B747, very impressive climbout

9) Back into the sequence..
