Thanks to the forum tip from Spinelli, I caught SwiftFlight 803- in town dropping off the Chicago Blackhawks for tomorrow night's game in Uniondale.
N803TJ was LOT Polish in a former life as SP-LLB. In my ramp shot you can see where they painted over the LOT tail logo.

Sweet shots Don! I would have been there if there wasn't a chance of it being too dark.

Thanks everyone. Not the quality I'm used to because of high ISO, but fun catches to have anyway.

I checked Flightaware and surprisingly it actually departed Thurs. night after 8PM in the snow and headed to South Bend, IN,
so I guess it's doing the charter shuffle and will head back to EWR to pick up the Blackhawks tomorrow night or Sat. morning.:wink:

Very nice Don, looks like you're catching a lot of chartered 737's lately:cool:

Yeah, seems that way. FRG is just too close to home to pass up. Thanks man.

Great work with some tough conditions Don. My favorite is definitely the last shot.

Thanks Steve. The last shot I was using the fence as a tripod, so there you have it. :tongue:

That last shot is really epic! I hope they keep her in those colors for a while, great catch.

Yeah talk about the charter shuffle!! Air Canada A319 flew in around 9 last night from Pitt to pick up the Carolina Hurricanes. By 11:03 they were airborne to Raleigh Intl with the victorious Canes.

Yeah, more charter shuffling today also, cause I see Miami Air is scheduled to ferry one of their 734s into FRG tonight,
so that it's already in position to fly the Islanders up to Toronto tomorrow night after their game with the Dallas Stars.

I was actually checking Flightaware to see if the Dallas Stars would be flying their 757 into FRG tonight, but I see the Stars
are actually using their 762 for this trip up to play the Islanders, Devils and Rangers this week and will be arriving at LGA soon.
