Allegiant...not sure what this guy was doing at JFK, but he was parked at T4. An unexpected visitor to say the least.

Not sure what was going on in the city but saw these helios passing by the Freedom Tower and then heading north.

The helos were most likely advance team for the Presidents visit on Sunday. Doing a little reconnaisance flight.

[Zee71]

Thanks for the comments and feedback. Regarding the helo's, after touching base with Manny and with Gerards comments it sounds like that is the exact reason. The helo's were probably perform their dry runs, and doing some reconnaisance work. Still have a few more images to process.

Got an email into s few people I know at G4. I would say charter most likely. Kind of interesting they came and went back to MSP. Maybe they did a favor for SY. :cool:

When the Prez is using the white tops, those are the plush luxo deluxe... but the bad boys in your picture, those are heavily armed... I saw one up close recently from Rockaway Blvd when Obama came to Connecticut and they had a minigun on both sides and I believe an M-60 out of one of the rear windows.... The minigun looks like a Gau-17 Gatling, electrically driven or a GE XM214... that is up to 10,000 rounds per minute ladies and gents :cool:
