INBOUND! Incoming Arrivals To Your Local Airports: Part 3

[MarkLawrence]

THIS THREAD IS STRICTLY FOR NOTABLE AIRCRAFT THAT ARE SCHEDULED OR ENROUTE.

[Zee71]

Saudia Cities special is inbound this morning (9/19) to JFK. Flight SV21 is due in around 1030. Happy hunting.

[Mateo]

A rare EWR alert - the beautiful Air Canada retro 319 is due in just before 5p this evening.

[TJK]

Saw what appeared to be a jumbo being escorted by roughly an f15-sized aircraft over syosset just now. Any info on what that was all about?

[JHNA57]

I just saw the same two heading northwest over Nassau. I think the F15 was just trailing the commercial jet for practice, but Hey, you never know!

[JHNA57]

Actually, I think the lead jet may have been a KC-135

[SCOTYDEMCO]

Not sure if this is in the right place but to answer your question I saw a single fighter trailing a 4 engine heavy at 6:45AM this morning as well over Northeastern Nassau. Flying patrol as part of heightened security, it is most likely a KC-135 refueling the fighter.

[Landing Lights]

It's not at all uncommon to see fighters refueling from tankers in this area this week. There are always combat air patrols going on during UN Week.

WestJet's new Frozen themed 738 is due into JFK today, C-GWSV, ETA ~5pm. Better catch it today, as WestJet JFK service ends tomorrow and doesn't resume until May!

But there's always a chance to get it at LGA

[JHNA57]

I heard the piston engines and spotted a georgous polished silver Twin Beech approaching 22R this afternoon at about 13:50 hrs. It didn't show up on Flightradar, but was heard checking in on Live ATC.com as "Beechcraft 42C." Definitely a beautiful photo op for anyone who wants to venture out and find where it is parked at the airport.

[Landing Lights]

Seems to be a semi-regular visitor lately, but a Nolinor 737-200 is about 20 minutes out.

[Jared Blech]

do we know if that Nolinor is going to be a semi regular visitor here this winter?

[Iberia A340-600]

Not exactly photographable but it's worth noting the 77W sporting the new Cathay Pacific livery just touched down ahead of my aircraft. Likely not the first visit though? The Saudia 77W special is also parked at T1. They're on the 22's at the moment.

[Mateo]

Quick reminder that the Etihad A380 inaugural is tomorrow (Monday) morning. A6-APB is airborne and due at the usual time, right around 9:00. Departure is mid-afternoon.

[yankees368]

JFK spotters, be on the lookout for a Qatar A350 tomorrow afternoon -- http://flightaware.com/live/flight/QTR7451/history/20151208/0540Z/OTHH/KJFK

[USAir767]

Heads up for JFK tomorrow

Qatar A350 with Akbar Al Baker on board: http://flightaware.com/live/flight/QTR7451/history/20151208/0540Z/OTHH/KJFK

[Mateo]

The XL flight tonight is operating with a borrowed Air Transat 330. Arrival around 7pm.
The Norwegian Oslo flight is using a HiFly 332, CS-TQP. Arrival around 8pm.

[Bangkok Airways]

Köln-Bonn Airport, Germany (CGN) is expecting AUH006 the Abu Dhabi 787 from New York tomorrow around noon, so it should depart in 2 hours, but I'm not sure, from which NY Airport.

[Iberia A340-600]

The 787 was parked at SWF, might have departed directly from the field as I did not notice it at JFK last night. A UAE 747-400 is now parked at SWF.

[Zee71]

The UAE 787 landed last night (12/22) at JFK around 2030 from SWF. I'm not sure what time she departed last night. Here is a shot of her taxing to the tent. Also, last night Eva Air arrived supporting her new scheme (B-16725), unfortunately the weather was going down hill fast as the fog started to roll in (hope to get a better shot next time).

[yankees368]

There's an El Al 73G due in about 7:30am tomorrow (Sunday), departing again around 10:00am on the way to TUS. http://flightaware.com/live/flight/ELY47

[Zee71]

Oh well .... I was in position for a 22R right departure, and once I got to Bayswater they changed over to the 31s. So here is my shot of the EL AL 737

https://mbsphotography.smugmug.com/Aviation/Odd-Stuff/i-9VxM8XM/0/L/ELAL_01_JFK_03Jan2016_31L_4X-EKD_150-600mm-L.jpg

[Mateo]

Looks like tonight's Kuwait flight (which was an A343) was a boomerang. Made it about as far as Martha's Vineyard.

[Mateo]

Arriving after dark (1830L), but today's EK205 is -EOA, which is the Real Madrid aircraft. Though I would caution about putting too much of Gareth Bale's face through an expensive lens :)

[JHNA57]

Jan 25, 2016... Air Canada 714 to LGA is a 767 arriving at 15:30 and departing for Toronto at 16:30. Surely storm related.

[Bangkok Airways]

A6-EOT is expected at JFK at 7pm EST. EOT is the EK A380 with the Paris St. Germain Stickers

[Mateo]

El Al 737-900 delivery coming through JFK around 0600 tomorrow morning. Usually stays for just a gas-and-go.

[GY757]

Looks like KAL81 inbound today B777-3B5

[Zee71]

Looks like BR32 (EVA 32) is finally coming in with the Hello Kitty scheme (B-16722). Hopefully it's no April Fools joke. Happy spotting.

[captmjk16]

ANA's new Star Wars livery (BB-8 Triple Seven) is inbound in about 5 hours as NH104. I'm thinking about heading down from CT. Good luck to anyone who heads out to try and catch her!

[Iberia A340-600]

This beauty just touched down on JFK's 22L - BA 772 "Great Festival of Creativity."

[Mateo]

There are 60 world leaders due in New York between now and Friday for the signing of the Paris climate agreement.

[jran225]

The new Orbis MD-10 (N330AU) is currently over Blacksburg, VA as ORBIS1 enroute MEM-EWR. Should be landing in about an hour.

Best,

[TJK]

Thought I saw the tail of a c17 tonight by de-icing tent. Was really dark so I didn't double back to verify.

[JHNA57]

Beautiful Shot Mark!

Hey all! some specials for today were:

-AY A330 Marimeko livery

-Swiss A340-300

Was anyone able to catch the LX A340 as it hasn't come in a while I think?

[davidxian]

Tunisian c130 came in around 10:30. Anyone get?

[Mateo]

VDA5036, an IL-76, inbound from Stansted. Due 1400L.

[Mateo]

The Xiamen inaugural, MF849, is inbound with B789 B-1566. Due tomorrow morning (Wednesday) around 1100. I believe the service plan is to use the 788, so this may be a once-off for the -9. They'll be using Terminal 4 Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays.

[EDIT: And while you're out tomorrow morning, we're also getting A6-EON, the Emirates LA Dodgers 380. Arrives 0730, but is scheduled out at 1040, right around when the Xiamen is coming in]

[AA757]

[Zee71]

Turkish Cargo flight TK6557 is inbound to JFK today, 3/9/17. ETA 1230, registration TC-JDR

[NIKV69]

Hillary's 738 landed EWR this morning and I haven't seen it depart so it should still be there at Signature I would imagine. I think the tail # is still blocked but it files flight plans under their callsign "casino express"

[TJK]

Heard a call sign for an Italy Air Force via live arc. Landed recently, an A340. Didn't see it on flight aware. Might be an interesting catch.

[TJK]

The Saudi arrived some time on Thursday 11/10 during the afternoon. Here's a shot of her just after sunset

I was spotting at T5 yesterday and was surprised when I saw it land as I had no idea that it was coming. It parked at Fedex ground after it arrived. Not sure on wether it's still there.

[Mateo]

JetBlue's latest A321, 978JB, is on delivery and headed for JFK. Arrival should be around noon. These usually head onwards to Florida for equipment installs about an hour or two later.

[TJK]

A C-17 departed JFK on 13R this morning. Hopefully someone got it. I assume something Trump related.

[Zee71]

Here is a shot of the C-17 touching down.

[Zee71]

Kuwait Air Force C-17 is back at JFK.

[Iberia A340-600]

At JFK this morning the Qatar A340-500 is parked by the de-ice hangar and there's a VIP 777 by the cargo ramp I couldn't quite make out.

[Zee71]

Both Qatar Amari flights arrived yesterday (6/1). The 777 by the hangar is N777AS.

[Mateo]

Zimbabwe 762 Z-WPE arrived a little after 9:30 this morning (Sunday).

[EDIT: 1850, GABON01 P4-BBJ is on approach to JFK. There's some Oceans Conference at the UN tomorrow - mostly Minister-level speakers, but a few heads of state, these two among them (https://sustainabledevelopment.un.org/content/documents/15256Provisional_List_of_Speakers_Ocean_Conference .pdf). Also at Head of State level is landlocked Bolivia, so heads up for one of their Falcons, though they typically use Teterboro.]

[Mateo]

An Antonov 124 has filed MAD-JFK. ADB2103, sadly with a 1230am arrival.
[EDIT: It departed late, so it's going to rock some rooftops at 2am!]

Too bad R22 is closed at night or it might have come right over my house

[Mateo]

Too bad R22 is closed at night or it might have come right over my houseWell, if the FR24 track is to be believed, it landed on 4R around 0200. Dobre utra, Arverne!

[Chris S]

Yeah, I heard it on LiveATC also and it did indeed land on 4R around 2AM.
Any idea what it's dropping off or picking up and when it will be departing ??

[Mateo]

It came from Madrid, and from a quick scan through Iberia flights, it looks like EC-LCZ arrived here on Saturday and never departed. Put me down for "bringing a replacement donk for a 346" in the pool.

They tend to hang out downrange until the next mission, so no idea about the departure.

[LATE EDIT: Closing the loop on this, it departed around 5pm on the 7th for SBD]

[Mateo]

The Honeywell 757 (757HW) is over the Hudson Valley about 15 minutes out from LGA. Arriving on 22.

The captain of this flight is my best friend and also an aircraft-spotter (regs and photography).

TAM 8080, A350 PR-XTB setting up for 31 at JFK. Looks like it's going to be alternate days for at least the next week per flightradar24.

Only 64 shopping days until Christmas... the first Jet2 charter of the season (EXS87, B752 G-LSAE) is inbound Newark from Leeds.

Any idea on when she leaves?
Ah, sorry. It was parked up on one of the T5 hardstands for the afternoon/evening yesterday, but then left this morning at 0730.
While I'm in here, VQ-BMZ, one of the Jordan G650s is just setting up for the JFK ILS 13L (which has been in use all day today).

[Mateo]

An-124 due in from Keflavik at 0430 Monday morning. Flight appears to have originated in Stuttgart.

[EDIT: Took a delay overnight at KEF - now enroute to JFK for a daytime arrival. Should be just before Noon]

[Mateo]

The elves in Hamburg are sending over a Christmas present for JetBlue this morning. N990JL, should be here in the 1100 hour. Usual pattern is to depart for Greensboro 60-90 minutes later.

[EDIT: it was filed to JFK, but started descending over Maine and now looks to be heading for PWM. Oh well.]
[EDIT2: I suppose the onward crew for Greensboro is still waiting at JFK, so it's a gas-n-go at Portland and still due here in the 1300 hour.]
[EDIT3: Apologies to anyone who was stuck waiting for Godot - went straight PWM-GSO.]

[Mateo]

One of the Eva Hello Kittys is about to arrive JFK. B-16722.

[Iberia A340-600]

Noticed the Republique Francaise A330-200 at EWR when I landed on Monday night.

[Mateo]

625VA, the first VX Airbus in new Alaska c/s, is due JFK this afternoon around 1530. First revenue flight in the new livery.

[Zee71]

This popped in late Thur afternoon, 2/15 ... she got refueled and is heading out.

[TJK]

Silk way 748 departing around 1pm today. Have only seen it at the cargo terminal. Hoping the rain holds off.

[Mateo]

Maybe exciting, maybe not - Alitalia's first (and so far only) 777-300, EI-WLA is inbound on the usual early afternoon AZ flight. Arrival in the 1300 hour. This is a second visit - it was here last Saturday also, so perhaps a weekly occurrence? It's usually locked into a Sao Paulo rotation.

[EDIT because it's the same day: It'll be after dark, 2000-ish, but Aer Lingus's A330 EI-GCF is JFK-bound on its first revenue flight.]

[Mateo]

The Bombardier CS300 prototype, C-FFDO, is just about to arrive JFK from McConnell AFB in Wichita.

[Mateo]

An El Al 789, 4X-EDC, is due to arrive JFK at 2040 (delayed until after dark, boo). They've been regular at EWR for a few months now, but I believe this is the first visit to JFK.

[Mateo]

Next JetBlue delivery is scheduled into JFK at 1045a on Thursday, the 29th.

[Bricktop]

Pretty cool few minutes of JFK arrivals. Il-96 RA-96023, and Amiri B748 A7-HBJ is right behind her. A mini-UN week!

[TJK]

A German AF aircraft just landed at JFK. Supposedly just gassing (at Sheltair) and departing on 31L shortly.

[TJK]

Polar Aor Cargo departure just after 1pm today, B748.

The German AF, flight 17, was some sort of VIP transport.

[Mateo]

Not amazingly rare, but still notable - one of the Dreamlifters is due JFK early in the 1800 hour.

[Bricktop]

Just saw a China Airlines A359 on its way round to 22 at JFK. Is this a one off?

ETA: I see President Tsai of Taiwan came to NYC.

[TJK]

Any word on Biden-AF1 coming into JFK today? The c-17 arrived about a half hour ago and he has an interview tomorrow with Seth Meyers. Security at t5 are rerouting some folk.
