[Zee71]

Well, the light was far from being anything but ugly. Bumped into Sergio at the mounds. Here is some of today's bounty.

Nice Shots Mark,

Manny and I were at the Mounds earlier in the afternoon.

Nice shots Marc. I thought NCR dump the 757s ages ago. They don't get around much. Senga

I caught one of their other 75s down in CLT a couple of months ago for a NASCAR team charter. Looks like they had been doing contract work in the 'Stans for a while, but have returned stateside.

John, Yea I saw it at EWR a 2 years ago or something. Back then they were flying everywhere but in the US. It came to EWR 2 times and that was it. I wish I got the C-130 they had painted up in that livery but ti crashed. Senga

Where was the photo of the National 75 taken from?

Great set despite the light.

National's 176CA was a daily visitor in Dubai last year flying back and forth between DXB and Kandahar.

Nice catches. That's a beautiful National 752, would love to see that one.

[gonzalu]

Am I crazy or is it correct that FedEx flies a B757 into JFK?

Anyhow, nice catches Mark... love the all white A343

[Zee71]

Manny .... yup .... FedEx does bring in a 757. This was taken on 4/18/2014, an early morning arrival. Taken from the backyard, as FedEx makes her final approach for 13L.

948FD on the deck this past Sunday; an old BA machine.

Great shots Mark. I wanted to get that EuroAtlantic, but when I saw clouds and that plane coming 7:30, I gave up.

Great shots considering very bad weather was that afternoon.

[AA757]

Nice shots Mark, was the Euro Atl 76 and or the all white A340 NorShuttle? replacing the 78 again?

Planning on coming down to JFK in June once again this year with the long days of light if there ever is any????

Thanks all for the comments!

Gintaras ..... the EuroAtlantic came in around 7:50pm. I believe that shot was taken as ISO 2500, f/4 and 1/400s with the Nikon D4 and the 70-200mm lens with a 1.4x teleconverter attached.

Rich ..... The Norwegian flies in the 787, but there are times when some other birds fly in like the EuroAtlantic and HiFly. June will be a busy month with work related travel, but I hope I can shot with you for a few hours if I get a chance.
