JFK 1/2/12

[Delta777LR]

Amanda and i are currently in the Bronx till Tuesday. We plan to head out to JFK Monday, hit me up if anyone is gonna be shooting....

[yankees368]

If the weather is nice and the approaches are right, I'll be there!

[chrisparypa]

Im not sure I'll be sober on Monday.... looks like 2012 is probably the last year in history and Im planning to fave some fun :)

[megatop412]

Chris don't let all that hullabaloo get to you...remember, the Mayans said it could be a new beginning too!

[heeshung]

I should be out.

[ANITIX87]

My g/f and I will be out around 9AM, but can only stay until about 12:30 or so. Wind looks gusty from the WSW, which should mean 22s. Will people head to Bayswater for departures, or Woodmere for arrivals?

[gonzalu]

Bayswater is open at around 9:00am typically so maybe North Woodmere for arrivals if Bays is closed... although distance is bad for both photographically :-( I should be around most of the day weather permitting.

[eric8669]

I'll try and make it out.

[ANITIX87]

Here are some of my images from this morning. Only out for a couple of hours and had to run. Unfortunately, I missed Transaero, but glad I caught EZ Jet.

Most are taken with my trusty old 50D. The last 4 were taken with my brand new 5D Mk II (all images, with both cameras, used the Canon 100-400L). The 5D's sharpness is out of this world, but the 50D will continue to be my spotting camera as its focus and shutter burst are much, much better.

[yankees368]

Was at Panera for just a little while today, nearly missed an Aer Lingus and Emrites A380 as I was arriving. That was my first official spotting of an A380!

There were some clouds towards the end of the day, but the sun managed to peek through in the last minutes of daylight.

Switched to the 22's right before the sun disappeared over the horizon. I love 22R arrivals!

I was only shooting with my 70-200 and was not able to shoot from Panera if that's where the rest of you guys were. Nice hanging with Manny and seeing Moose.

[Delta777LR]

I was pissed about that Copa.. I blew that one big time.. Mark I saw u left while Nick and I sat by the pet store there, and that Etihad u cought, i saw it coming in while we was on Rockaway Blvd..

[heeshung]

Oh, so that was you. I thought I saw Nick's car when I got to the lot, but then saw Manny, and as you weren't with him and the rest of the spotters, thought it wasn't you guys. I was actually talking to Manny wondering where you were. Didn't occur to any of us that you were just a couple cars down.

[gonzalu]

LOL>.. small world of spotting is as huge as a Costco/Panera parking lot :tongue:

I was stuck for about two hours while I waited for Lexus Roadside Assistance (battery crapped out on me) but was there most of the day and then got honked at as I caused a traffic jam on Rockaway trying to shoot the AFR6 and ETD101 while they crossed.

Of course, as soon as I got home, my daughter took over and I have been doing stuff with her until just now. I just took the cards out of my camera so it will be a while for me :frown:

BTW, I noticed that one of the China Airlines aircraft had a US registration... what's up with that?

N168CL

Says it is owned by Wells Fargo ... go figure!

[Zee71]

Great stuff guys! Sorry I wasn't able to shoot today with all of you.

[nssd70]

Nice pictures,everyone.

That was me honking at you. LOL.

Looks like they changed leasing companies in 2006 for whatever reason.

[threeholerglory]

Apparently TAM is the official sponsor of bras. I fully support them for it. (hint: engine cowling on Mark's shot). Support..hehe.

That's my favorite China Airlines reg, because each digit is one less than my birth month and year, and the CL should be self explanatory. Now if I were only somehow related to China Airlines... :rolleyes:

[Roush6NY]

Awesome stuff gentlemen ! I wish I could have joined you all but was stuck at the office :mad:

[steve1840]

N168CL



I saw that one last time I was down there. I was a little confused by that as well.

[steve1840]

Awesome sets guys! What was up with all the different Qatar flights? An A330 and A340 on top of the regular T7?

[heeshung]

Qatar Amiri.

Is ETH101 737 delivery flight to ADD from Seattle?

[heeshung]

No, I think Manny means ETD101.

[mgwsy]

Very Nice sets there guys. Nice to see some fantastic pics.

[gonzalu]

Steve, the two non 777 Qatari were almost minutes from each other... think of them like you and your cousin going up to Boston in separate limousines... you get there almost at the same time as your cousin, but these folks use Airbus A342 and A332 instead of regular limo :tongue: They were Amiri flights (007 for the A332 and 004 for the A342) which means Royal Family. Not on trackers either... so it must have been something special. I checked at work and there is no "official" word on anyone of the family getting healthcare at our hospital. But could be a "relative" ...


Now, I would love to see their C-17s here or the 747SP they supposedly have :-)

Sorry, meant Etihad so ETD101 lol... (thanks Mark)

[AA757]

Awsome shots guys..... Looks like it was a great day all around with the specials and the lighting........

[megatop412]

Eric the golden lighting on that El Al 777 takes the cake- gorgeous shot

Thanks for learing that up for me Manny. And I defintiely agree with you about the C-17 or 747SP. That would be one hell of a treat.
