Upcoming U.N. VIP Week

[apjwright]

Given the confusion in the "drop-off" weekend and scheduling conflicts, we're now thinking about coming down for the "pick-up/departure".
To this end, when do the VIP aircraft leave?

Thanks again for your continued help trying to get this figured out.

Regards,
Tony

So just to confirm, we're expecting arrivals to begin around next weekend, the 20th?

Well not really. The Assembly opens on the 16th so the VIPs will be arrving after that day but I think most will be arriving on the weekend (19th, 20th, and 21st).
Ill be out on the 20th and 21st all day at JFK.

Can't confirm nor deny the POTUS exact movements but expect AF1 and USMC1 traffic around the 22nd to 24th.

Do the Marines ever go up to SWF, or do they usually stay in the city?

I was thinking about maybe going to see AF1 for either arrival or departure. Last year they parked at the AFB, but they surrounded it with C-5's so I really couldn't get a decent picture.

Anyone heading out on Saturday? That's when I'm hoping for.

I'm planning to be there Sat. & Sun. and maybe Friday if I can be convinced that UN stuff will arrive then too.

Of course all subject to the weather.

Anybody have any specific locations in mind for the good stuff around JFK?? This rookie is highly tempted to head out for some logging if it will be as good as you all say. Wouldn't mind getting AF1, who will likely use ident SAM-2900, either.

Im hoping to be out there on Sunday.. My budget is a bit low this week for me... Ill keep the heads up..

[lijk604]

Im hoping for at least Sat afternoon, maybe Sunday too if I buy dinner. LOL

They used 82-8000 (28000) last year.



If I'm not mistaken, 28000 is the primary one now after they did some updates last year.

So, the weekend is almost upon us. I am going to JFK on Sunday the 21st. Anyone else is going?

[flyboy 28]

I'll be out on Monday instead. Gotta make the trip worthwhile if I'm going to get the [supposed] Connie.

I should be out most of the day Sunday (may get out a little on Saturday as well, we'll see...) I'm planning to spend some time Monday as well, especially if we can catch a Connie!
