2. A very rare LGA visitor and sporting a registration nearly blanked out, departing 13 for parts unknown. (non-trackable on Flightaware)

5. Thought this had hit about 10,000 birds at first. Happy to see it was only 10,000 markers and pens!

16. The 764s are growing on me...

17. beautiful turn in late afternoon sun. It seems as though 74s are a little less common at JFK..

18. Some narrowbody action from 13Left..

19. still an amazing looking aircraft, especially in LH paint...

20. Short detour to LGA for a beautiful departure of an increasingly rare A320 in pre-merger paint..

21. Now I see the new trend at AAL to paint certain parts of the underbody of their 738s.. all I cant think of are patches..

22. about 15 seconds into a very, very long flight. Hope to take this flight next year...

23. Heat Haze, but unique enough to share... just after landing Rwy 22 at JFK

24. Another rare visitor to LGA, Business Jet E135 departs Rwy 13 on a Sunday afternoon.
These are a few of the images I have shot in the last week with the new rig and lens. I welcome feedback as always and wish everyone a very happy and successful spotting and airshow season!
