JFK - 7/6/2012

[Zee71]

Stepped out early this morning and met two fellow spotters from Boston (Rich (AA757) and Chris) at Baywaters. It was a pleasure meeting you both!!! Manny was at Bayswater as well getting eaten alive by the bugs. Rich, Chris and I stayed in the shade down one of the blocks by the wall. Here are a few images from my outting.

Rich, Chris and Manny.........I just made it in time to North Woodmere to catch the Air Canada Jazz Star Alliance departing (which I missed shooting the arrival at Bayswater)

Great photos!

Looks like you got some of the same arriving aircraft I got from my porch, only closer. Nice!

Nice to finally meet Rich and Chris from Boston! Mark, as always, too short :-(

So far, my only contribution as I was not really able to edit any pics last night. Gotta love the classic advanced B722

Love that moon shot with the 727 sir Manny

Thanks Mark... I am jealous of your 748F banking shot :tongue: All I could manage was a rocket shot from "the mounds" :wink:

By the time she banked, it was too far away from me and heat haze killed it (not that I had a good shot anyway :tongue:)

Oh, and Toyota needs to seriously improve optical quality in their windshields. This is through the window of my car from Costco traffic light on Rockaway Blvd while at the light. The banks off 4L look awesome from here... but FAAAAR!

Damn I missesd some good stuff yesterday! :-(

Wow, taht 727 is the catch of the day to me. Good stuff on the 7478F and I love that Hawaiian!!

[gonzalu]

Thanks Phil. My favorite thing about smoky engines is that you can easily tell when the pilots adjust their approach speed :tongue:

I never thought FedEx would still send the 727s to JFK again.. Great catch!

[gonzalu]

Sergio, I bet you it was a special drop off. She was not on the ground for long and eventually went to where it should go, EWR!

I love the Fed Ex 727. I got a few shots of her departing that day as well, but they were too heat haze ridden to bother with posting. Beautiful aircraft.

Awesome photo of the Cathay. One of the most beautiful liveries at JFK, IMO.
