New York-Kennedy (JFK) Notable Visitors Report 2012

[gonzalu]

Qatari VIP A332 and A342 are still in front of triple hangars. A342 is currently getting fuel!

[Zee71]

Not a notable visitor, but a "plane" oddball. Here is Southern Air with partial Air New Zealand markings on the tail. I couldn't get off a better shot and this was the best I could do for now (maybe someone else may have better luck catching her depart or arrive again). She looked very ugly. The reg ID is N469AC

[NIKV69]

Here is a shot of her.

[NIKV69]

Yep SUJ. Got the inside redone now needs some paint.

[gonzalu]

So, any idea on departure time tomorrow? I would go out for it if I knew it would leave under daylight :cool:

[gonzalu]

Well, never mind, if this is correct, cover of darkness departure :mad:

Qatar Amiri H/A342 departed 31L at 0156Z last night. The PANYNJ vehicle nearly had to escort here to the runway. (jeez)

http://nycaviation.com/forum/threads/41920-Night-spotting-at-KBDL-12-28-%28Includes-nastiest-Southern-Air-744-ever%29

Yeah, that'd be her and all her ugliness. I hope they give her the paint job she deserves soon. I'm hoping she arrives at BDL again sometime soon.

[NIKV69]

Aeromexico has a new sticker. It's on N126AM. A visa ad. Looks like hand holding a Visa card on the aft part of the fuselage. Keep an eye out for it.

[gonzalu]

I believe one of the DreamLifters is at JFK right now. Arrived late last night (was supposed to at 4:00pm)

Russian State Transport Company IL-96 just landed on 13L. Taxing to the Triple Hangars.

[Iberia A340-600]

There's currently a UN Security Council meeting taking place at the UN headquarters, comprised of foreign ministers regarding the situation in Syria. I'm assuming the IL-96 brought Sergei Lavrov and I wouldn't be surprised if there are a few more interesting visitors around JFK today.

[eric8669]

A7-AAH Amiri flight 009 inbound to JFK.

Amiri Flight (A340) also arrived yesterday about 6pm. Saw it overfly the office hangar, and tuned to JFK tower just in time to hear it check in. "Amiri 009"

Sorry for the duplicate, didn't see Eric's post above. DUH!

Air France Cargo 777 at JFK, it leaves tonight for ORD (AFR6737). Unfortunately this photo is a good example of what not to submit to ANet or JetPhotos.

Very nice Mark, too bad she was a nocturnal bat... :tongue:

[Zee71]

This A319 (TwinJet Aircraft Sales) arrived on 3/31 around 3:30pm, flight TWJ 1 and departed today (4/1) around 9:30am for Stansted Airport (STN) (unfortunately I wasn't able to catch it leaving due to other commitments).

[eric8669]

Nice. I believe the Private Air 757 and Cargolux 748 were also here today.

[yankees368]

I'm fairly certain that I just saw some type of military aircraft land on 22. Is POTUS due in NYC soon?
Here's the really really crappy picture I took with my phone

Looks like a C-17. There's no TFR posted yet, but it may be a couple of days out, so it wouldn't be listed yet.

I can't believe I spotted that from that far out. Wish I had my DSLR with me. What can ya do.

[pgengler]

No TFR yet but I did get this notice a couple of days ago:


Initial VIP Movement Notice - New York, NY
Notice Number: NOTC3741

Expect VIP movement May 14, 2012 in the vicinity of New York City, NY. Pilots can expect airspace restrictions in conjunction with this VIP movement.

[yankees368]

Oh boy. If AF1 is coming back in to town, I better hide under my bed and not piss anyone off this time.

I've learned a lot since that "incident." That was lesson #1.

On Monday, May 14, President Barack Obama will be on the Morningside Campus to deliver the keynote address at the Barnard College ceremony

Bayswater? I'm not sure I have the lens for that. I only have a 55-300mm. Will that be enough?

[moose135]

You won't fill the frame, but you'll do OK. I just looked at the EXIF on the shots of the SCA/Shuttle - when the airplane (747 - same size) was directly abeam Bayswater on the approach, I was at 300mm on the lens. I did crop a little, but not much. As he continues toward the airport, you will get a little short, but you should get acceptable photos.

[yankees368]

Nice, I will probably try that. Thanks for the tip.

[Long Beach]

TK flight 11 TC-JJB B777-300 from IST to JFK to arrive with an additional engine mounted underneath the fuselage. Spotted under blue skies over German airspace minutes ago.
Have fun!

Qatar Amiri A332 arrived last night and parked in front of the triple hangars. A7-HMM is the registration.

[Iberia A340-600]

There's a Dreamlifter parked at the Atlas hangars. Unfortunately it's not the best day for a photo op!

N249BA is the LCF gracing us with her presence. Still at H19 and still lousy wx. Unknown when shes leaving.

[hiss srq]

A Southwest 737NG (dis)graced JFK yesterday for about 3 hours. Landed on 13L and left on 22R in a hurry right as a nasty storm cell crossed over the north side of the field.

[gonzalu]

How does that (dis)grace JFK? Any plane is welcome on any airport in my book, especially if I have my camera! :tongue:

[727C47]

was that a diversion?

[hiss srq]

There is only room for one Canyon Blue at JFK in my book and that is tail 536 of JetBlue's fleet. 727, no... It was a troop transport flight... Domestic civil reserve flight.

[727C47]

SWA rocks,would love to see them at JFK

[Zee71]

On my way back home from my work related trip to Boston, I saw this sitting at the de-icing tent from the Air Train (of course.......once I got home I came back to get a shot of her). Registration ID: N787TW

Interjet A320 made a visit to Kennedy today. Perhaps a trial visit before they commence service in a few days.

[Zee71]

While heading out to Baltimore last week (7/23) this 727 was sitting by the de-icing tent. Of course I had to make a quick detour to get the shot. I've seen this aircraft at LGA, but this time it was at JFK.

Looks like a Dreamlifter came and went overnight. GTI4322, CHS-JFK-Italy

[Mateo]

Is this turning into a weekly thing? GTI4322 inbound again from CHS, ETA 0115; scheduled out to Italy 0315. How bad do you want it?

Dreamlifter 718BA on final for 31L.

Holy%^#$ how the heck you get 'em Mark :tongue:. Great coverage as usual. Never even heard of MD 11, thanks for the update.

[Zee71]

Thanks Raj....

Got lucky with this shot. Saw this bird from the Air Train as I was meeting up with my sister. I hijacked her car, and made a bee line to try to get a shot. Here is the result

I need to do a trip on the airtrain. Last time I flew out of JFK I got a ton of fun shots from it (before I was on this board, still thinking I was the only one so obsessed with planes).

A little birdy tells me there's an E-4B (!!!!!!????!!!!) on the ground at JFK right now. I'd expect to see pics shortly.

[PhilDernerJr]

That's probably one of the more rare domestic aircraft to see on the enthusiast circuit.

The Doomsday Machine! Leon Panetta is in NYC possibly to speak at the UN relating to this

and a good report on the plane

[Zee71]

Well.....I was a fortunate to get a glimpse of this rare bird. I had left the mounds on my way home just a block from Rockaway Blvd, when I caught a quick glimpse between the buildings of something that didn't look familar landing on 22R. I detoured to the field, and wasn't sure what I've seen. I finally located the bird, and the second I saw it, I knew exactly what it was. For obvious reasons, I smeared out some stuff.

[JHNA57]

Did this arrive at about 6:15pm??

[yankees368]

Give or take, yea

[JHNA57]

Did this arrive at about 6:15pm??

I saw it coming head on towards me and thought it looked different, then it passed directly overhead while I was stopped at a light. When I parked about 2 or 3 minutes later and checked Planefinder on my phone, it didn't show up.

DHS P-3 Orion is parked next to the De-Icing tent.

I was looking out the back window of my mom's house when that thing flew by to land on 31L...that's the Orion with the radome and the tail boom, right? It flew by and I just went "gaaaa..." with my jaw on the floor. Screamed to my mom "A P-3 WITH A RADOME JUST FLEW BY THE HOUSE" and she just said "That's nice William, hopefully they'll turn the heat back on"

I think this was the same day I saw a C-5 Galaxy land 31R. Heard the whine and knew instantly it was some military hardware. First time seeing the Galaxy so close, what an incredible plane, you think the C-17 is big until you see one of those

[PhilDernerJr]

The C-5 is one of those planes that amazes me that it can even fly. Wings and engines are WAY too small for that body!

[yankees368]

I wonder if these utility trucks will drive back to CA, or be airlifted again?

N777AS was parked in front of the Triple Hangars yesterday. She has been very busy lately carrying supplies I believe.

[Zee71]

Last night (11/13) I was watching plane finder, when I saw a flight number SAM9701 over the North Fork at around 19,000 (which is basically the same altitude that traffic from across the pond is when heading to JFK). Looking at the details it turned out that SAM9701 was an IL-76, which arrived on RWY 4R around 11:15pm. I took a quick ride to JFK this morning (11/14) to see if she was still there or departed some time this morning. To my surprise two IL-76s were sitting at the triple hangers. Here are the resulting shots. According to Akie the birds are no longer there.

Nice catch Eric. Caught this guy last year around the same time.

[gonzalu]

Nice seeing you too as well. It was refreshing to see you with smiles on your faces despite what you went through ...

[Zee71]

It was definitely refreshing to get out for a short while and see Eric and Manny as well. I wish I could have stayed longer but had to attend a family function. I hope to be out and about more often within a few more weeks as my apartment gets restored to a livable conditions.

[heeshung]

I see two interesting inbound flights to JFK for tomorrow, 11/24. Scanair "SUS868" (http://flightaware.com/live/flight/SUS868/history/20121124/1900Z/KORD/KJFK) and Aerobeira "ARA107" (http://flightaware.com/live/flight/ARA107/history/20121124/0912Z/DNMM/KJFK).

Anyone have any idea what those are? ARA107 seems to have come in several times already. I should be out tomorrow.

EDIT: Nevermind, ARA107 is just Arik Air. Why is it inbound at that time?

[eric8669]

Anyone have any idea what those are? ARA107 seems to have come in several times already. I should be out tomorrow.

That's Arik Air. 3 or 4 times a week I think?

[heeshung]

Yeah, that looks like Arik. I guess the 4PM arrival is just a standard FlightAware mistake. Still don't know what the SUS is though.

[heeshung]

Sunair has two Hawker 800's, and I assume they're going to use those as charters from Japan. Fuel stops explain the hopping.

This isn't your average Hawker 800XP paint job:

From what I see its scheduled to land around 5:30AM and depart mid morning. I guess we will have to see.

[Cary]

Yeah, that looks like Arik. I guess the 4PM arrival is just a standard FlightAware mistake. Still don't know what the SUS is though.

Both are long-standing FlightAware errors (the afternoon arrival time for ARA and SUS is nothing).

Also Qatar admiri A332 A7-HHH is there next to UAE 744 from wat I saw

[AirtrafficController]

LOT Polish Airlines has wet-leased a HiFly A330-200 for a few weeks.
She is coming in today for the first time. Aircraft registration is CS-TFZ.

[Aviation.High.Guy]

Dubai Air Wing just snuck out of here folks. Too bad she was a night departure.

'Bout time!

[Delta777LR]

Damn it!!! I wish it was earlier!

[Zee71]

Conditions where ugly this morning (6/27) when I saw this pop up on planefinder. Hurried over to North Woodmere park to catch her. She was so high on her approach that I thought she'd go around, but they came down at such a steep rate of descent and were able to land.

Great catch Mark.... always something unusual to catch at JFK


Again had a blast hangin out with you last Friday

[Zee71]

Thanks gentlemen! Always a pleasure Rich as well.

[Aviation.High.Guy]

Great catch Mark!
I like the color scheme. It's modern, but has an old school vibe with the double ruled cheatline.

[Aviation.High.Guy]

Since we're talking Canadian birds here's the Prime Minister's newly painted CC-150 Polaris (Airbus A-310). I caught her from my hotel room window the other day at KYWG. I'll post the complete set in a new thread as soon as I finish processing.

[Delta777LR]

it appears that Vietnam Boeing 777 is at JFK by the old TWA cargo building..

[yankees368]

What the...when the heck did that come in

[Aviation.High.Guy]

Yea, I saw that guy on flightradar yesterday, but I didn't pay it much attention because I thought he was just passing over.

[Zee71]

I waited and waited and finally was able to get a clean shot, although I wish the angle was a little better. Registration VN-A146

The aircraft was on the move and a long exposure didn't help. This shot was taken at ISO 6400 and cleaned up

Great night shots as always Mark!

[Jared Blech]

da hell? how did that get in here?... can anybody also tell me why about two weeks ago i saw a world 747 at the cargo plaza on the opposite side of UPS? I thought they no longer operate to JFK

[PhilDernerJr]

World does charter work, so they can show up at any time for a charter.

[Jared Blech]

I saw it come in on Planefinder and thought it was passing by so i went out later that day...Upset I missed it!

Hopefully the rest of their deliveries also go through JFK, but who knows.

Qatar Amiri 332 A7-HHM (the white one with the silver stripe) and 343 A7-AAH in front of the triple hangars; 744 HZ-WBT7 behind the triples, and 903JB has now been moved over to between T5 and T4 (shootable from garage; set of airstairs in front of it today). 907JB is over at the JBU mx hangar.

[Jared Blech]

Was there this morning, got off plane, n903jb is facing east now so shootable in evening and morning

[Iberia A340-600]

Nice shot, Mark. I flew over ADW this morning after departing DCA and it looked like there was also a 767-300 accompanying her.

[JHNA57]

Any idea what that may be above the Morrocan 747's APU exhaust??

[Kiffy]

Any idea what that may be above the Morrocan 747's APU exhaust??

A flare dispense system, same as the VC-25s.

[DHG750R]

A flare dispense system, same as the VC-25s.


I believe it's an IR ( infared ) jammer, it should be one near each engine exhaust in addition to the APU exhaust.

[gonzalu]

Any idea what that may be above the Morrocan 747's APU exhaust??

Suresh posted some info from VC-25 on his FB page a few days ago...

From https://www.facebook.com/atapattu?fref=ts

https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-frc3/1397585_10201811568263627_41300041_o.jpg

Some interesting AF1 countermeasures that are hard to miss! (How to cover one's ass when on a 747!) [*note: this is not classified info and is available in the public domain].

Current analysis shows these 3 systems (and others) on the tail of AF1:
1. AN/ALQ-204 Matador infrared (IR) countermeasures device located above APU exhaust sends pulsed IR signals to foil attacks by heat-seeking missiles.

2.AN/AAR-54(V) missile launch warning receiver located on two sides of the APU exhaust cone is intended to report and track missile threats by zeroing in on their ultraviolet exhaust signature.

3.AN/AAQ-24 Nemesis Directional Infra-Red Counter Measures (DIRCM) system under APU exhaust, which can be directed by the AAR-54, fires pulsating flashes of IR energy that confuse a missile’s guidance system.

Saudi BBJ on the ground this morning (any ID?); and the trackers say Mexican AF 733 TP-02 was in and out. I thought I saw an out of place tail back by the DL hangars, but couldn't confirm anything, and it departed while I was in a meeting.

Hey Mark, I saw her too. Where's the tail numbers on this bird?

That Twin Beech makes me recall September 1994 when for a month we were flying our DC-3's into JFK, picking up cargo from a nose loading LH 747-200F, and hauling it to ROC, it was my first time into JFK, and my first time flying the Canarsie, my second time I cruised the mounds on a Saturday morning rumbling onto 22L : )
