Should have checked ATIS I want to shoot some banks on the expressway visual. Would have come out! Good shots!

Nice set of shots!!!

Nice grab on the Colts special and the feathered bird.

Nice meeting with Kez today. When I headed out to Marina the sun was already half blocked by clouds.

Southwest's Shamu came to LGA today.

Thanks Nik! Sorry I don't want to sound stupid but I'm new to this what do you mean by ATIS ?:confused:

ATIS = Automatic Terminal Information Service

It's an automated message broadcast by the tower describing current runway usage, weather conditions and special messages for incoming and outgoing traffic. You can listen to it on a scanner, and some airports also make it accessible by telephone.

LGA's ATIS phone is 718-898-0272

Dennis it was nice to meet you as well.

Nice catch ! We'll get together soon

love the angle on the American Eagle plane

Thanks Matt
