Just an opinion from anyone, with Cargo airlines that no longer operate to JFK, What cargo airlines do you wish to see at JFK again??
The cargo airlines I wish to see here again is
NW Cargo 74F
RJ Cargo A310F
SQ Cargo 744F
AI Cargo
China Cargo MD-11F/or 744F
Polar 744F
Does any have any to add??
How about AA Cargo (there's a pic of one at JFK somewhere on A.net)?
Also anything Flying Tigers...
Heres American Freighter at JFK in the 70s from A.net

New rather than old, I'm excited about seeing an AF 777F!

Speaking of DC-10s, Is there any cargo DC-10s that still come to JFK besides Cargoitalia, FedEx and VARIG Logistics???
Does Gemini still fly into JFK? They used to bring a mix of DC-10F's and MD-11F's from what I remember.
I believe they still bring in the MD-11s but I dont think the DC-10 comes anymore
I would like to see the Emirates Skycargo A310 back.
Seaboard & Pan Am.
The thing with Cargo airlines is that they are hardly scene at JFK since they operate during the wee hours of the morning. For example Singapore Cargo operates into JFK regularly. I think you'd be surprised to see what still comes through JFK.
Personally I'd love to see the UPS 747-400F at JFK as well as the Jade Cargo 747-400F. Not sure if we'll ever see them due to issues with the lease but the Aeroflot Cargo MD-11F would also be stellar.
Emirates 310F
Idle some of the Evergreen 747s were PanAm....so you can sort of pretend they are PanAm ;)Quote:

I thought Singapore discontinued cargo service to JFK....Quote:

Considering I did the W&B on them for the time they were at JFK, I can attest that they were there.Quote:

There was enough "cross-traffic" to make the ANC stop work as a "hub" even though there were only 4 flights (2 each way).
Emirates SkyCargo B744. Ohhh whee that's a sexy plane!
If I get word the EK or Polar 744 is headed this way , you guys will definitely hear about it
this? With EOS in back :(Quote:

I caught the Emirates Skycargo A310F around the evening rush hour on 3-19-07Quote:

Im supprised no one mention about the TWA Cargojets 707s and United Jet Freighters DC-8s that did come to JFK in the 60s and 70s
I used to love watching:
Stretch DC-8s and 747's -Flying Tiger, Seaboard World, Trans International
C-130's -Trans International and Southern
Caravelles- Airborne Express
I also remember being around New Hyde Park in the early 70's and watching a CL-44 whistle by on the way to 22L.
But the greatest was parking just by the triple hangers with a great view of 31L (I used to sit ther for hours watching arrivals and departures). A couple of times there was a green 707 with a yellow tail that belonged to TMA airlines of Beiruit which was being loaded with cargo. I'm sure there are pictures on A-net
That particular EK B744F is no longer flying for Emirates , It's back in Atlas colors as of about mid Feb.
TMA also brought in classic 747s with the same scheme, the last CL44 i saw at JFK ,was a freighter for a company called AER (Argentina) back in the late 70's,the last 707 i saw at Jfk was a Varig Log freighter back in '87, for a brief period in '94 IFL group flew a bunch of sorties into Kennedy with a motley assortment of DC-3C tramp freighters, I was among those happy few,and dare I say it nearly had a tear in my eye,flying the pivot turn on the Canarsie approach in the lovely,old Douglas,over the old sod,fulfilling a dream I had since i was a kid.
to get back to the thread remember Airlift Intl,and their dirty DC8s and 727s?.Their ships looked like they were flown hard and put away wet. One other Cargo line I would like to see again good old Alitalia cargo 747 Classics.
I havent seen an Alitalia Cargo 747 since one was leased by Atlas Air a few years ago... Now they are using MD-11CFs to JFK...
I misinterpreted the thread and instead thought Sergio was asking which cargo airlines would you like to see at JFK.
Since the topic is about past visitors I'd like to see Polar Air Cargo 747s back at JFK again as well as the Saudi Cargo MD-11F, Korean Air Cargo MD-11F, and Lufthansa Cargo 747-200F.
Here's the Alitalia Cargo (Atlas) 747 for you, Sergio:

[airliners82921[/airliners
That was actually the AZ - inhouse freighter. Atlas operated 3 B747's over the years , including a -400
N409MC
[airliners29381[/airlinersN535MC
[airliners02026[/airlinersN536MC
[airliners:1ecb9]0782713[/airliners:1ecb9]
the last one i saw in full house colors was 2003, i believe it was AZ,not atlas flying for az.

Polar's B744 will be making a return to JFK on a 5 night a week basis starting next week ( last week of Oct ). Unfortunately it's scheduled to arrive and depart under the cover of darkness.Quote:
