JFK - 05/08/2011

Didn't do much spotting, but had the bug to step out for a couple of shots prior to Mother's Day dinner. I wanted to catch a few departures off 13R, especially of the Lufthansa A380. Unfortunately the clouds rolled and ruined the day, and then the switched the runway configuration.
