Does anybody know how long it plans on sticking around? Would be great if it sticks around until Saturday.

[Zee71]

Will try to catch it.....if I can get out of work a tad earlier.

[DHG750R]

Steve,
Looks like it's leaving Sat early AM returning Sun around noon

[steve1840]

When you say early AM, do you mean before sunrise? I will be down on saturday and whenever I come down I am always there from first rays of sun.

[DHG750R]

planned at 6am, unless she's late for some unforseen reason

[steve1840]

I think I may have to head over by the terminal area then, just in case it heads out on time. Where did you find the planned departure time for saturday?

[Zee71]

Not the greatest shot, because I was in motion! Two things I forgot .... my scanner, and stay put, I left my scanner home so I was playing it by ATC mobile. Unfortunately, I postioned myself for a 31L approach figuring they would put Atlas on the left side, but NO, they put her on the right side, and by the time I got there she passed in front of me. She landed around 5:30pm. Here is the best I could do.

really nice shots Mark, It's been a long time coming and it's nice to finally see picture of it. @ Steve, I work for Atlas :)

[steve1840]

Ah, thats a good way to find things out :tongue:

Hopefully they don't go wheels up on saturday until the sun is out.

[PhilDernerJr]

Love the shots! I kept clicking on this thread waiting to see what it would look like!

[Ychocky]

I like the Atlas colours and they look real sharp on the 767.

Nice catch.

[Roush6NY]

Looks real nice !! Great catch Mr Mark :wink:

[DHG750R]

Steve,
Looks like it will depart after sunrise on Sat now... 9am returning a few hours later.. happy hunting !

[Zee71]

Thanks for the info....I will most definitely try my best to bet out Saturday very early.

[steve1840]

Steve,
Looks like it will depart after sunrise on Sat now... 9am returning a few hours later.. happy hunting !

Thank you for the update! Hope the runways are set up for good light on departures tomorrow. A 31L departure at 9AM would be great tomorrow. But at least if I can't get her departing, I can always get her arriving a few hours later.

Mark, I will be out early as well, probably right at sunrise if not a little after.

[gonzalu]

Very nice catch sir :-)

[DHG750R]

Steve and Mark.
the Sat flight has been scratched.. sorry for the late notice. She will stay put at least thru mid week for now..

[Zee71]

Okay.....thanks for the update! We appreciate you keeping us informed. Feel free to PM with details as you get them.'

[DHG750R]

The aircraft will depart this morning at 10am, arrive back about 2hrs later...

[Zee71]

Thanks for the update .... since I have the day off from work today, will make an attempt to catch it. I hope it will be a 31L - Kilo Kilo departure!

[steve1840]

The aircraft will depart this morning at 10am, arrive back about 2hrs later...

GRRRRRRRR....I knew I should have taken the day off today :frown:

[Zee71]

Not sure what's up but it hasn't left and from HoBe I don't see it

[steve1840]

Are they using the 31s right now? Maybe he taxied out for a switch to the 22's

[Zee71]

31s for arrivals and departures Maybe it got rescheduled.

[DHG750R]

Definitely still on ground, Im not at work so I am out of the loop

[DHG750R]

looks like the switched to the 13's now , as far as I can tell it's still on ground

[DHG750R]

the JFK-JFK has just changed to JFK-SWF..

[gonzalu]

Steve,

This will eventually be a regular bird :-) No worries!

[steve1840]

Steve,

This will eventually be a regular bird :-) No worries!

Good to know! Still, I like to catch things from time to time before they become "regular" birds. Like getting that Saudia A342 last weekend, it just gives you a whole different feeling when you press that shutter button.

[DHG750R]

Taxiing now, headed for 13R.

Yes this bird will be back and forth thru JFK for at least the next several days..

[gonzalu]

I just heard it depart on LiveATC.net :-) "Giant 9739 Clear for Takeoff" and then "Giant 9739 Contact Departure"

Thanks for the heads up on the Atlas DHG750R. Caught her landing around noon from Bayswater. I thought the light was going to be bad since the clouds were hanging around then just before she came in the light started to get better.

Nice catch Mark!

I know what you mean Steve, but the Saudia 342 is better than that.. its never going to be a regular bird around here.

[DHG750R]

great shot Mark! Glad I was able to help.

As a side note, an Atlas passenger 747 is currently parked at hangar 19 for a couple of days N464MC

[steve1840]

I know what you mean Steve, but the Saudia 342 is better than that.. its never going to be a regular bird around here.

Yeah, you are right about that. Thats never a regular bird anywhere. From what it sounds like, it very rarely ever flies.

[DHG750R]

An Atlas 767 will arrive JFK at 4pm today, depart 2 days later, it's not the same bird that was at JFK before, its the sister ship N640GT

Also, for our friends in South Florida, the other 767 is in PBI , departing at noon local today. If you miss her, it will be back later tonight to spend a couple of nights

[steve1840]

Any chance she will be back at JFK on Saturday?

[DHG750R]

Yes it will, look for 640 around 1pm, leaving a couple of hours later

Then the other one will be at EWR and then JFK very early ( pre dawn ) on Sunday night/monday morning
