JFK - 9/12/07

[moose135]

Enjoying my life of leisure while I can, I took advantage of today's near perfect weather to do some spotting. JFK was on the 31s, so I headed out to Firestone this afternoon. Got out there around 3pm, and here were the first two jets that came by:

El Al Cargo 742


JetBlue #100 - first time I've seen this one!


First time I've see LTU new colors...


Been a while since I've seen this one.




Cathy A340 climbing out.




Here's something I haven't seen in ages - Britten-Norman Islander of New England Airlines




Don't you just hate all the RJs at JFK these days :D


By around 4:30, the nice little puffys that were making for a nice background started to gang up and I ended up with more shadow then sun. I hung around a little longer, but didn't get much more and finally headed for home around 5. All in all, not a bad way to spend an afternoon.

Nice work Moose, that Islander at JFK must be pretty rare. I remember being on one at SJU some years ago and feeling very very small.

Very nice shots Moose, seems like you had a good day!
Well done on the JBlue 100 also! Guess it's missed SO easily in between all the others.

Cheers,
Flo

Don't you just love it though Moose! Can't wait for mine to start soon! Great shots! I love the B6 100th!

Great catches, Moose! Nice batch for the day. Glad you got to take advantage of the nice weather.

Love the El Al.

Was the Cathay a go-around?

Godd job Moose and nice catches of the Virgin A340-300 and ELAL Cargo 747-200

Nice shots Moose! I really like the vapor trails on the Cathay!

Was the Cathay a go-around?

No, he was a 31 departure. It looked like quite a few departures were making a big left hand turn around the airport and climbing up overhead to the north. Most were passing directly over me.

Great pics Moose ... makes me want to come back veeeeery soon! :D

Nice to see Virgin Atlantic A340-300 again at JFK. I thought they retired already. And nice catch of AI 777 and EL AL Cargo 742 as well as the Cathay 346 flying overhead.

[Iberia A340-600]

Nice to see Virgin Atlantic A340-300 again at JFK. I thought they retired already. And nice catch of AI 777 and EL AL Cargo 742 as well as the Cathay 346 flying overhead.

They still have 6 or 7 and even one is even in their new livery.
