That is a fantastic Report Phil and Mel. Very proud of you guys for bringing the awareness of spotting to the new york area.
I really want to try one for the STL Area though it seems we don't garner very much support here.
Mel I loved your comment "i seriously thought it was a spirit" hahaha :)

Awesome,awesome ! I am proud to be a part of this group !
The beehive hummm of the JT9D and GE CF680C2,the thunder of the JT8D-17,the rumble of the PW1830 and the high ,thin whine of the PW 545A are all music to my ears!
That's fantastic!
I just got the paper too.
PS- "JULIA RAMEY", is most likely another one of Phil's "victims" LOL

Great article, and great 'advertising' for aviation nuts and NYC Aviation. I'm looking forward to the pics, as picking up a NY Times is a bit hard on this side of the ocean.
Just to let you all know...
The stupid NY Times will not have this section in the paper IF your not from or getting it in the city.
I have mine, from NJ. So in the papers infinite wisdom they remove the NY section and install a NJ insert.
So Phil, please do scan that article since many here will never see it.

See, Tom has the wisdom not to hold the camera at that time.
Now he too has clear face pic.
Brilliant!

Great article Phil!
Maybe we can try it at EWR next time, see how long it takes for PAPD to throw everyone out!
CBS Sunday Morning program a few weeks did an article on train spotters, maybe you could get them to do a follow up on aviation enthusiasts. The program goes out nationally including Alaska and Hawaii.
it's nice to have some good press from time to time....
and of course i find out about this on MONDAY NIGHT... but that's ok. :)
one question, who took the pix for the paper?
it is mathematically impossible for either hummingbirds, or helicopters to fly. fortunately, neither are aware of this.
