JFK 09/21/2011 - Clouds and Rain Ruin UN Week

[gonzalu]

Started Bayswater with Mark and Tom. Ran into Gordon and his Dad and met Josh May at Panera during lunch. Then over to The Mounds for the afternoon where we met up with Eric already there.

It was pretty poor today but, still put in my shift at the playground. Just a couple of shots that I wish would have been in better light.

Cargolux rocks the house with a hard right turn.

I told you it was crappy. Clouds were at probably 2,000' or lower

First time for me. I love the c/s on this airline... it just glows! Not to mention the ever beautiful DC-8

Love the KAL A380 shot Manny - the vapor vortices created on the upper camber of the wing above ENG No. 2, 3 & 4 is quite cool!!!

I feel better now for not going out east this week, as I have seen the numerous posts about the fog/rain/low vis in and around NYC the last 2-3 days, but despite the weather, some very good shots!
