Very.Very Rare LGA Visitor Today May 3
Foreign goverment VIP transports are very common sites at JFK and EWR, but fairly rare at LGA, especially widebodies, but today (Tues 5-3) we where treated to the short visit by one of the two Spanish goverments version of Air Force One, a former Air France A-310, reg T-22-1 with (In Spanish) "Fuerza Aerea Espanola" titles. A-310's are very rare at LGA, in my almost 20 years working here the only other A-310's I have ever seen belonged to the goverments of Canada and Germany. once each some years ago. This is one of the reasons I bring my camera to work every day, no exceptions, and although the weather did not co-operate, sun behind the clouds, I wiill upload shots tonight or in the morning. There are no shots on a.net of this aircraft in the US, but many elsewhere. Seeing this I had hoped to title this post "So Rare Even Senga hasn't shot it" untiil I went to Jetphoto's and as I should have known, Senga "Mr. Everywhere" Butts has a nice shot of her at JFK, SURPRISE, SURPRISE ! I did not see the Airbus land, so a big word of thanks to my buddy Darrell Gordon for contacting me after hearing her on the scanner, "Thanks Dude" :D

Spanish Air Force A310 into LGA
Greetings, This is my first post int he forums! :)
You might want to keep a look out as there is a good chance the Spanish A310s will be back again either tonight or tomorrow. I am a little disappointed they brought in the A310 instead of the 707 this year as I really want a shot of that 707. They must have gone to LGA because of some work going on around JFK rwys/txwys that I have witnessed.

How do you know this??? As you get more concrete information, can you post it here? I might want to leave early from work today/tomorrow if we know when this bird might come back. Thanks.

An arrival of a 707 would be so insane. I have nothing even remotely close to something like that in my photo collection.
