JFK - 5/31/2014

[moose135]

While I'm up in NY, I had time for some JFK spotting on Saturday. They were up and down on the 31s as there was some work being done on 4/22. I spent a couple of hours at HoBe for departures. Ended up stopping at Costco for a little bit, ran into Cary there, but by then the clouds were making shooting tough.

First time seeing the JAL 787

There was a pretty good crosswind the whole time, and almost everyone - even the "little" guys were extending then making nice banks. Well, everyone except this guy, the TAME A330...

Awesome banking shots! Were these images cropped?

[moose135]

Thanks! Yes they were cropped, especially the smaller stuff - 400mm on a full frame camera is a little short at HoBe.

Great photos !

I was @ Hobe (from ~ 10:30 to ~1:30 - when they switched to 4's) but I didn't see any other spotters, just later came one spotter I've met before...Wonder, where moose135 was hidding..:smile:.

[moose135]

Sorry I missed you. I was there until almost Noon when the South African departed, but didn't notice any one else out shooting. I was "hiding" in this - not exactly stealthy.

After they changed RWY's to 4's, I tried to get Atlas B748, I caught on Rockaway Blvd:

That's was when weather turned really ugly and some there were some raindrops and I decided to go home. Well, soon after I got home, sky cleared and again was a very nice...Go, figure that out...

Mark, your photos are great. What's about this Qatar A-320? How often does it happen?




Nice shots gents. Some of my shots are from the backyard and others from Costco.

The Qatar A320 comes in every once in a while. Got lucky!
