A very rare treat to see the Kuwait Air Force C-17 come into JFK this afternoon. I was able to get a few shots after work, and this evening.

Nice shots Mark, Glad you got it :)

What a shocker to see it went to JFK after so many Dover arrivals. I would be interested in hearing why it is at JFK.
I guess it was bound to happen considering I was breaking my backside to get to Dover to get a shot of the KAF C-17. If I still needed it it would have never come to JFK and just kept over flying us like the others (Senga's LAW). You know...Since I got the Samaritans DC-8 at SWF this week I am SURE the DC-8 will be at JFK now very soon- so be ready :)

Very nice Mark!

And Senga if that DC8 does come to JFK that will be crazy....just remember to use your powers only for good!

[SengaB]

Too funny I will..I promise :)
