Did a little spotting at JFK this afternoon - John "Unattendedbag" from A.net was visiting family and took a day for some spotting. I got out a little after Noon, and the dreaded 22L/13L split for landing was in effect. Started out at North Woodmere until the sun swung around, then headed over to the Mounds. Unfortunately, as the afternoon went on, tower sent more and more traffic to 13L.
We watched this guy come in thinking "He looks awfully high, he looks awfully high..." then he pushed over to get back on glide slope. After a bit of trying, he decided to go around and make another go of it. I was amazed at how quiet the A380 was when they did go around.
