JFK 2/17/12

[moose135]

Headed out for a little bit this afternoon. Started at Panera for some arrivals, and ran into Gordon (and Gordon) there.

I didn't know (or forgot) that AA had bent-wing 767s.

After the typical late afternoon switch to 22L (even though the winds were still 310 at 10+ kts) we headed over to The Mounds and ran into Mark Z.

I'm sure the new view from The Mounds will become old hat - or the weeds will grow back - but for now, I'm loving the angle!

Moose.....awesome set and the light is super sweet. Will try to post some as well.

Love that close in on the Blue bus..... Makes me smile.... That was flight 871 from Barbados.

Great shots. I was trying to make it to the mounds, but I was coming from brooklyn and the traffic on the Belt was a killer.

Traffic, in Brooklyn or Queens? No Way! :tongue:

Nice images Moose... never saw that Delta sticker before... should pay more attention...

I arrived into JFK earlier this morning for the long weekend and took advantage of the nice weather for some very missed JFK spotting. It was a pleasure to see Moose and Mark and to get a chance to try out the "new" mounds, certainly makes quite the difference!

As to not duplicate shots, here are some additional catches from today:

Some nice grabs Gordon!!! Especially the TNT, and the Altas 747 (I believe that's the passenger one). Here are just some of the one I got a chance to off load.

Used a fast shutter speed and modified the white-balance and gave it a little extra saturation.

Great shots guys! I gotta get back to JFK while I can still get that awesome light at the mounds in the afternoon.

[moose135]

Thanks guys! And nice work, Gordon and Mark! Gordon, I arranged to have some good conditions for you this weekend... :biggrin:
