Instead of the MD-11 this year it looks like the Thai Government is coming in an A340-600. She should arrive at SWF by 8:46 PM, hopefully she'll be out tommorow as well.
I'm pretty sure this is the first visit of an A340-600 to SWF! I'll hopefully be there with my camrea ready.
I'll use this thread to let you guys know what else is coming in, it would be great to have a little meet up at SWF.
I will be in contact with my friend at SWF to find out more.
This one also came into JFK. I assume dropping off the VIP there, and then parking at SWF.
Email me anytime at [email protected].
Unfortunatley I won't be able to meet with my contact at SWF tommorow as security is very tight and he doesn't work tommorow.
I'll still go out though and try and get some shots.
Here's some of the shots I got today:
I was very surprised to see Air Force 1!
Great collection of shots and aircraft Gordon. I know I speak for our whole nycaviation family that we are all glad to have you close enough to SWF for runs up their on occasions like this.
Great Job and Thanks !

Gordon...your shots are super! Every time you post your shots get better and better! :)
Great shots Gordon!
Does your contact know when these will be leaving SWF back to JFK to pick up passengers?
that has to be the most awesome fbo to work at during the summer season up there judging by the amount of diversions and vip traffic they get

Gordon top notch!!! All great catches!
great shots! i like the thai and polish tu-154. great.
Great shots, always wonder about what's inside though, I guess some are just airliners from the national airline of whatever government but some are truly VIP interior, like I am guessing the Bahraini 744 would have. I heard from someone who used to work for another Gulf region royal flight operator that their 747 had an onboard majilis (traditional Arabic sitting room where people eat, talk etc) and some sort of prayer area that automatically adjusted to face Mecca (many airlines from Muslim countries display a self-adjusting arrow pointing which way while in flight, but in this case the floor or sitting area apparently adjusted somehow).
Anyway, UN GA is making a mess on the streets of midtown Manhattan, alot of frozen zones and motorcades. Love the planes but wish they took the subway when they got here!
Thai might be taking off early as there seems to be a coup in the works back home while their Prime Minister is here in NYC.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem.
All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control.
I trust you are not in too much distress. —Captain Eric Moody, British Airways Flight 9
Iberia... love the polish TU-154... definately my fav plane!!
BOAD.. nice avatar!
it is mathematically impossible for either hummingbirds, or helicopters to fly. fortunately, neither are aware of this.
Gordon,
have a look here: http://www.airliners.net/discussions/ge ... n/2996681/
looks like your pics. Did you give the guy permission to use them ? Least he should do was credit you, the tool!
And I, I took the path less traveled by
and that has made all the difference......yet...
I have a feeling a handle of people are going to be very interested in what I post in the near future.
