Ok so tomorrow is the longest day of the year and the WX is looking great! Upper 60s to low 70s breezy and sunny! I'm planning on heading out to JFK after work (5ish) and spotting until sunset. Lets hope the runways are in our favor. Anyone else going out?
I'm in
I will try and make it out. I leave work at 4:30.
Eric
I'm not out untiil 7:30. it'll be sunset by the time I get to JFK. Grrrr
If the Weather Clears up this afternoon I might head out. Wunala Dreaming is coming in today.
Eric

I am scheduled to depart out of JFK at 4:50pm. Make sure you take pics of every departing 767 that's not Delta. lol
AHHHH!!!! I'm going crazy that I can't drive or have a camera for JFK. I'm venturing out to hopefully to the docks if 31 is active. Anyone else gonna leave the pack and join me?
EDIT: Anyone want to pick me up from the subway station for spotting?
814-360-5748
I would love to go, but my lens is busted.
I'll most likely join you Thursday evening. Probably leave the office around 5:30, hope to see you guys there!
For anyone that might be out there by 4:50pm, I'll be departing "North American Nine Seventy Three".
Phil you need to take a delay! Have them load the bags real slow, LOL Call me if you do and I'll try to get a pic if I'm there.Quote:

True, but then you can't see me pressing my ass against the left side window.
In all seriousness, look for an open palm pressed against any of the windows.
But when I saw ealy, I mean EARLY. It's not uncommon for these to rotate before the threshold.
Not to pressure anyone, but it would mean a lot if someone got a pic of my dep. Anyone feel free to call or text my cell if you want updates.
They are now going up and down 31. :)
well so much for the longest day of the year :(
Phil, here's your flight departing. I didnt have much luck with the edit as it was pretty overcast at that point. Looked like the pilots could have turned out much earlier but didn't so it worked out. If you want the originals, let me know.

Awesome! I bet if we zoom in on the originals to the cockpit window, we'll see Phil's face pressed up against it. :-D
It was an interesting evening wx wise. Sun was good to start but a cell went through and when the sun came back out it was a bit low and too far west for costco or BK to be any good. Myself and Jakub shot at firestone then met Eric at Costco. I got the Carribean which I needed and then a white 747. I tried to find some info on it but there isn't much. No pics on anet.

Then Jakub and myself reitred to a very German community in queens for Bratwurst , Knockworst, tar tar and schinziel. It was Glorious!
DAMN you Nick....you went back to that German restaurant didn't you...:lol:
Knew you would appreciate that Mark, We went hard too. What a place. Hail Duetchland! Jakub speaks fluent German! I knew he was born there.Quote:

Thanks so much for taking that picture! The weather wasn't exactly cooperating, but it was a great experience. Thanks for documenting it!
