Not a great day for aviation photography(weather wise) but I decided to head out and meet up with NIKV69 at the cargo area. When i met up with him he was sitting on the road dividers right across from the Taxi parking area. When i pulled up, I thought to myself "gee hes brave being over there" lol this would come to haunt me later. It was pretty quick with the arrivals, a few JetBlues wahooo!! Cathay Pacific 340-600 and the Jamaican 340 were about as exciting as it got. We were shooting for probally about 1/2 hour when after shooting an American I saw a PAPD car out of the corner of my eye, i said to Nick "o well here we go again". The officer pulled up and asked if we were taking pictures of the planes, we responded by saying the usual. He even started saying that we should come back later when its busy, right now the arrivals are to slow. Which i thought was pretty cool. Anways he just told us that the Taxi dispatch called them, informing them of what we were doing. SO he just wanted to check up, he said that we could continue. So we did, about another 1/2 hour went by and he came back. He said "sorry guys, we just keep getting too many calls", asked for just one of our ID's to do a report. And we were sent on our way. Overall that officer was very nice to us and understood what we were doing. So thats all for that one.. Once we moved we decided to go to Inwood, we were there for a good long time. Shooting departures and chatting with the local fisherman. Then Larry came up on the mower. He was really good about the whole thing, told us that "one of your friends got thrown out of here the other day" but that "i dont care what you guys do, its your own hobby and it doesnt bother me" lol this is the best part. HE said "to watch out for the boss, if you see a guy in a truck with a state park seal on the side that we should leave". Cuz its Tom's friend who told him that he "needed a permit" to take picturesOverall both these situations today went very well, each party was very respecting.
