    If they're on 31, you can get some decent shots from the southeast side of the Marina with a 200.

    Not the Marina Terminal. The Worlds Fair Marina.

    LGA is landing on 22 right now, no good. Hopefully someone will have better luck at JFK. More sun this morning than expected, which is good.

    I am going to try for JFK but I am leaving late. Hope to make it in time for arrival. -Fred

    Got up at 6 and yes, it was hazy indeed -- I called the JFK ATIS which poetically said there was "mist". Nicer sounding than haze but still an unphotographable soup of humid smoggy crapness, so I bagged my expedition to LGA/JFK and set up shop on my roofdeck waiting for at least Biden.

    He showed up on time but totally backlit, and the haze is really awful. Here's the result:


    I hope whoever did go to the airport managed to get better shots than mine!

    Both the President and Vice President visit New York for separate events on Thursday, likely causing massive disruption in the air and on the ground.

    Well wingletted C-32 8002 departed 31 at LGA around 1435L bound for Andrews. Caused very little if any delays, and btw the blue actually looked a little faded !

    Cheers

    i can certainly understand the need to keep these two people on separate airplanes, especially following what just happened in Katyn... but doing so on earth day is simply RETARDED!!
    it is mathematically impossible for either hummingbirds, or helicopters to fly. fortunately, neither are aware of this.

    I attended a panel and talk of Attorney General Eric Holder earlier this afternoon at Vassar College. I wonder if he flew up with the big boys and was driven off to SWF afterward?

    FYI the History Channel showed "Secret Access:Air Force One" tonite. One showing already but a second at
    Midnite tonite. Sorry for the late heads up. Not sure if this is new or not.
