A few weeks ago, I landed on JFK Runway 13L. An Atlas Air 747 landed on 22L about a minute later. While we taxied to T2, I saw the Atlas Air 747 continue on from 22L all the way to 13R and line up for take-off. He didn't stop to unload cargo, refuel or anything. If this was a touch and go, it was the longest touch I have ever seen. Why would he land, taxi to the departing runway and then take-off without stopping? And he eventually took off about 15-20 minutes later. Any suggestions as to why this would happen? Haven't seen anything like this before in all my years of airport spotting.
