Is anyone planning on being out tomorrow? I'm coming up for the day and thought it'd be nice to have some more knowledgable people on the area out ;). Weather looks good too! Anyone have any idea of the runway usage as well?

I would be happy to meetup with you tomorrow.

[Zee71]

I may try to head out as well for a few shots.

[JBoulin94]

Awesome, thanks Eric and Mark. Hope to see you out there

Nice catch .. What are you uploading these in the car ? :tongue:

[Cal07]

Nice.. Would the singapore 777 be replacing the a380 or this was just for today?

Haha, well, I could. But I just popped in and out for those shots.

The A380 is replaced by the 777 until March 25th.

[Zee71]

awesome

[Zee71]

Although it was a cold and breezy day, the light for the most part of the day was great. It was nice spotting with Eric, and Jason (who only made special guest appearances), and towards the end of the day met John and his dad from Maryland (Hope you got that Qantas One World). Still working on processing may photos from the day. I decided to make a last minute dash to see if I could catch the Air Europa Sky Team. She arrived on 4L and then taxied in total darkness to her terminal, so unfortuately I was unable to get a good shot of her. Enjoy

Great shots everyone - love those Emirates night shots especially.

Hope to get out there again soon, it's been months! Happy New Year!

[NIKV69]

Top notch Mark.

[Zee71]

Thanks gentlemen!!! Got lucky with the Emirates again as they turned on those exterior lights that give it a nice touch.

[Matt Molnar]

Awesome shots everyone.


Eric, nice catch on the FedEx ATR. I haven't seen an ATR in our neighborhood since... forever.

[eric8669]

Awesome shots everyone.


Eric, nice catch on the FedEx ATR. I haven't seen an ATR in our neighborhood since... forever.

Thanks. It came from EWR. I guess it beats sending a truck from EWR to JFK.

[JBoulin94]

Here are mine from yesterday, great meeting you Jason and Mark!

John nice catch on the Transaero 747 and Alitalia.

[Zee71]

Nice set and crisp photo's! Glad to see that the light was perfect and your trip was well worth it.

[JBoulin94]

Thanks Fasil and Mark! The Qantas was the first plane to switch to 4R Mark, so I ended up not getting it, but the highlights from the rest of the day made up for it. Can't wait to get back up there!

[sdspinelli2]

I was out for a couple hours on Friday. I first stopped at Jamaica Bay then to Cosco.

[Zee71]

A couple of other spotters and myself were in Costco as well. You should have came by and introduced yourself. Nice images as well.

[sdspinelli2]

I didn't see you guys, I go to the section all the way by bay blvd.

[Zee71]

Okay. We were parked by the water. Where you were you have to contend with the power lines.

[sdspinelli2]

Thanks Ill be sure to park over there next time.

[Zee71]

Sorry to hear that they switched runways and you were unable to catch the Qantas. Here are some of my other images from during the day. Departure shots were taken from HoBe which is still closed (I pulled over next to the closed gate and stayed in the car and took my shots as needed, too cold be standing outside).

Qatar (just playing around with some effects)
