Nice catch, Eric! I need a better shot of that sucker.

Cary.............I was expecting you and Manny! Where the heck were you guys? Here are a few of mine from today as well. Unfortunately, Eric and I had to sacrifice the Kuwait 747 departure in order to catch the Cathay Hong Kong Trader. The Kuwait 747 ended up leaving earlier than planned and we probably wouldn't have caught it any way. I did manage to get her arriving on 31L from Costco.

Great stuff sir ! Awesome catch on the Cathay and the Kuwait

[steve1840]

Great catches! Is the Kuwait 747 a substitution or was I brining in government officials?

[Zee71]

Steve the Kuwait was a VIP which made a brief stop at JFK before heading to IAD.

that's a neat paintjob on that thing, I've yet to see a 748 for myself
