    A little rain spotting

    Took a drive by JFK yesterday since it was raining and love those spray shots :-) Got there too late as they closed 13L just as I got near. Emirates 201 9A380) was the last one before they opened up 22s. Met up with Mark and enjoyed a couple of hours of really bad lighting and conditions... but it is so much fun watching JFK ops :-)

    We open with one of my nemesis. I can;t seem to get her in good light.. oh well



    Best timing of the afternoon. It never happened again.



    Kuwait taxies to the gate after waiting for a while between 22L/R





    A380 repositioned



    Booty shot



    I should have used a monopod





    and in closing, I had a chance to see Better City once again on the same day. Had the light been good, I would have another one chalked off the list :-)

    great shot on the Kuwait/jetblue. I was actually driving down Rockaway tpk right at that moment.
    It's hard to take chances but sometimes it's better if you do

    Thanks Eric, Kaz... eric, on the JetBlue/Kuwait, it would be great to catch at least a domestic 767 or better yet a 777 on 22R at the same time. The contrast would be better. I have to look out for this next time. I never really paid attention to it before!

    Did you get a shot through your sunroof?

    Thanks Gene... she was landing and out of 15 shots, this one was the [least] blurred one believe me, it is blurred, hence the careful cropping hahahaha
