    JFK, 5-11-2014

    First went to N.Woodmere, Jason was there and a couple other spotters.





    Afternoon - after 3pm - @ mounds, I was alone there, Jason came for a couple or planes. Some, of what I caught there:



    Today a lot of bizjets came in.





    Qatar A330:





    Late afternoon Eric came and I stayed with him for a couple of Norwegians - one came in on 22R:



    Another, prolly 10 minutes after - on 22L:

    Nice catches today
    BTW, Did you happen to catch the C-17 that came in around 12:45 ?
    I believe it took off again just before 2:30 also.

    Yes, but I didn't get good shot of that C-17.

    The C-17 came in at probably the worst time for the sun, and they sent him to 22R. I have some shots, but nothing I want to post.

    Wish I was out! Great catches!
    Probably the youngest spotter ever to walk up the face of the mounds.

    I don't know why - perhaps haze? But most of the shots from yesterday @ that park I did delete. I got much better shots @ mounds where I came a little after 3pm.

    Bad thing, a lot planes went to 22R - Qantas 747, Emirates 777, Iberia A340, Egypt 777, Virgin Atlantic 747, KLM 747, Norwegian 787, some bizjets, a couple of props...Well, I don't care much of Egypt - unless they send new regs#, but I'd like to better pictures of these props...

    Thanks, but doesn't look pic grainy? I did upped ISO to 800, but I don't know yet how to remove/reduce noise. This was prolly 1st time I've used ISO 800.
    And, light was very good...after that came in Lufthansa 748, but didn't get good(acceptable to me) pic....
