Was all set up at the mounds for perfect light, then everything started going 13L :-(

The only shot I got at the mounds was this 13L departure

It's fun watching a new airline try to figure out the 13L approach.

[727C47]

its fun watching the regulars too.when i was a kid a 707 got so out of whack that he sank to about 100 agl, then firewalled it, screaming over the block,ohh boy,i've flown it in the DC3,727,and Classic 747,my favorite approach.

[Cal07]

Yea, I was at my spot when Open Skies came over, I just forgot to turn my camera on and that's what I ended up with!

[gonzalu]

Nice catch guys... is Norwegian gonna be an A340 all the time or is it a more pedestrian 787 type job?

[Zee71]

Nice catch on the Norwegian A340. Here are some from early this morning from the backyard as they bank for 13R. Enjoy!

sucks that the Norweigan has to be an all white A340. Im heading out this week to catch it. Nice shots to all. I do love that DHL bank too!

[Cary]

Like Moose mentioned in the other thread, the "Norwegian" A340 is a HiFly lease. Just like LOT leased the A330 from HiFly (and also used the EuroAtlantic 767) because of the 787 issues, Norwegian needs a spare aircraft since they planned to start service to JFK with the 787 today, but the 787 for the route got pushed back until September.

[yankees368]

I had heard it was August. Hopefully August!

Fred, awesome stuff man, the FedEx is the winner .............

[steve1840]

MArk, lovin the back yard action! Wish my house was that close to the airport. Fred, killer shots from inside the fence! Love the ElAl shot!

[Zee71]

Thanks Steve! I'd trade my backyard action anytime for inside the fence, who wouldn't.

Great shots Fred!

[Landing Lights]

I had heard it was August. Hopefully August!

According to Airlineroute.net, as of today, service begins September 1 operating Tuesday/Thursday/Sunday. Friday service is added as of late November.
