Well what turned out to be a lousy day at first turned into a fantastic afternoon at JFK. I was debating about going down around 1 since it was still pretty cloudy but the weather report was for clearing skies so I took a ride.
Lots of great variety this afternoon coming on 31R as well as the normal Jet Blue's and American heavies. Some of the highlights were the Iberia A340, KLM 777, Virgin 747, AF 777, CSA A310, Aero CBit 767, El Al 747, Uzbekistan 767, Royal Jordanian A340, Star Alliance UAL 777 (very exciting!!), Unmarked Atlas 742, new and old color NW DC-9's, PIA 777, and a ton of Delta 767's which must have been lost, generally don't see them on 31R.
Meet some great spotters to, one gentleman, Fred from Roslyn who was with three guys who flew in to see the Thai 345 but like everyone else the weather didn't allow us the privilege. We did have some weird dudes pull up in a BMW and ask us why we were taking pics. They had a heavy Russian accent, we told them because we like planes, they parked a few spots over and proceeded to conduct some "interesting" exchange with another parked car. Shady stuff, hehe. To end it was great day and meet some great people!! So where were you???
