JFK - 12/19/2014

[Zee71]

With the weather forecasted to be sunny it was anything but that during the morning hours which actually worked out better for these morning departures. A few surprises to say the least as well, especially the former Jade Cargo 747 which now operates under CAL (Cargo Air Line). Enjoy (now to work on the afternoon images).

Nice to see an old-school three-holer again at JFK (the IFL 727).

Whats the story with the Omni with Avianca on it??

Whats the story with the Omni with Avianca on it??I assume it's to get some extra lift for Christmas. The Caribbean airlines (and even Caribbean Airlines!) are notorious for throwing on extra sections, upgauging flights, chartering planes, and doing whatever they need to do in order to satisfy the nearly unlimited demand to get back to that part of the world for Christmas.
