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.

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....
