Thanks for these... I especially appreciated the view from above of the KE after landing showing the fog/clouds were nto that bad. We were at Bayswater Park and it looked really bad from there... I guess it was just meant to be that the fog was directly over us while she arrived!

Cheers...

Oh it was pretty foggy. I snapped that just a few seconds before we hit the clouds. I got a few others, one closer to the field but the A380 is just hardly cut off!

I hope to get out to JFK to spot when I get back this weekend.

You got pics of the newest A320 in the JetBlue fleet and flew on a jet that was bought back from BlueWings... (hint... Look at the winglet) Thanks for sharing, always love seeing JFK action and JetBlue action.

N789JB? I had no idea that one was so new. Just looked up the registration and saw that it is from 2011, very nice.
I flew N646JB "Bravo Lima Uniform Echo" and had no idea that jet was once with BlueWings. I didn't notice anything different about the winglets. Don't all jetBlue A320s have wingtip fences like the one I flew on? Here is a better shot of the wing of N646JB

Another shot of N789JB

Good stuff. Can we see The Mounds from the airborne shot? (Korean Air A380 taxi shot)

I've never been, but judging by where it is on the spotting map, I believe so. Would have to have a veteran spotter confirm. Flying back to JFK tomorrow night, maybe I can get some night shots.

The mounds are circled in red

I am boarding what looks to be N793JB from PBI to JFK tonight. Looks like this plane was also delivered in March of 2011. Can't wait for the new plane smell!

The ones that were sold to than bought back from BlueWings have unpainted wing fences. A little secret about the fleet. 793 is a great bird. I flew on her first revenue flight earlier this year.

Did not even notice that. Last night at PBI after I boarded 793, the n508jl rolled in next to us. I looked up the registration and it was also a return from BlueWings. (http://www.airfleets.net/ficheapp/plane-a320-1257.htm) Very odd seeing several of them in one trip!
