Wow Gordon. Those are all great shots. I love that Bolivian 732.
Re: Daily SWF Report (UN 2007 Pics Added)
Fed Ex MD-11 is returning today with more horses from Sydney!
Re: Daily SWF Report (UN 2007 Pics Added)
The FedEx MD-11 just flew over my house, didn't go out to get it because I'm too busy playing with my new iPod touch! :borat:
Re: Daily SWF Report (UN 2007 Pics Added)
Great shots, Gordon. Glad you were able to get up close and personal to some of those guys.
Re: Daily SWF Report (UN 2007 Pics Added)
Thanks, Moose. :)
Here are the two Abu Dhabi BBJ's:

I believe Air Force One and the Gainjet MD-80 are now at SWF.
Re: Daily SWF Report (UN 2007 Pics Added)
I went to SWF today. Parked there are Air Cameroon 763, Swiss DC-8, Royal Air Moroc 757-200, three 737NG with winglets, Bolivia 737-200, and the UK registered A-320. AF1 is parked among the C-141s far away. N707JT is also there. There is no Tu-154.
I also saw the Fedex MD-11 approaching SWF as I was ready to get back onto I-84.

Hm, surprising the TU-154 isn't there. Thanks for the head up on the Moroc 757-200.
Re: Daily SWF Report (UN 2007 Pics Added)
Nice shots Gordon, you picked a good time to get on the ramp. Were you using a polarizer filter?
Re: Daily SWF Report (UN 2007 Pics Added)
You got yourself some great photos. I envy you.
Re: Daily SWF Report (UN 2007 Pics Added)
>Great shots, Gordon. Glad you were able to get up close and personal to some of those guys<
Excellent shots BUT how did you get them? Do you work at SWF? And with all those VIP jets parked up there
security must be tight. Hell years ago I was stopped up there by military police for taking some helo shots through
a fence.

I don't shoot and tell. ;)
Re: Daily SWF Report (UN 2007 Pics Added)
Hi, based on your previous experience, how many more of the UN visitors will end up in SWF? Will, for example, the Iranian SP pay a visit? Wondering if it's worth another visit in the next few days.

You stink :lol:
But having been up at SWF it leads me to believe you work there. But keeping your anonymity is cool.

I've been lead to the conclusion that by weeks end there will be have been 15 or 16 aircraft parked at Stewart. The Iran 747SP won't be paying a visit however.

Let's just say I've spent time at Stewart.

9M-NAA Malaysian AF A319CJ is planned to SWF from EWR. ETA is 0318z 1118pm EDT
I'm heading up there tomorrow. Shame I'll miss the Kazakh!
Re: Daily SWF Report (UN 2007 Pics Added)
Here is the Gadair for those who would like to know what it looks like:

Thanks for the heads up, I'll be there tomorrow as well in the afternoon.
Re: Daily SWF Report (UN 2007 Pics Added)
I got a partial shot of AF1, and some good shots of A6-XRJ, 0207, the Twinjet, Miami Air, and Kazakstan.
I tried to shoot the Cameroon 767, Congo 727, and DC-8, but I was told that I couldn't for security reasons and something about the state police :(
I was really disappointed about AF1, since that was the reason I took the trip to SWF. They have it parked surrounded by C-5's along a hanger at the ANG base.

I think I saw you today, Chris. Were you in a white car with an older man and wearing a striped shirt?
Re: Daily SWF Report (UN 2007 Pics Added)

I was in the white Volvo on the hill, I believe you actually pulled up next to us for a minute!

I remember! I wish I had known that was you - I would have said hello.
Great shots! Especially the Poland TU154 and the Congo 727!
Were you at the airport when AF1 departed? I heard 28000 showed up this morning as a decoy before 29000 took off for JFK - it would have been cool to see them both at the same time.
Re: Daily SWF Report (UN 2007 Pics Added)
I was actually at school when AF1 departed, luckily I had a free period at the time and was outside hanging on a quad and saw her fly over around 1:00pm. I actually interested some of my friends when I started jumping up and down yelling that it was AF1!
Re: Daily SWF Report (UN 2007 Pics Added)
I would buy that first fed ex shot from you.
Re: Daily SWF Report (UN 2007 Pics Added)
Well VIP week has ended and the season for interesting visitor is starting to end... :(
