A Few From JFK Today

[Bellucciman]

Well I was at it again today. I went to Costco for a few minutes, I just didn't get out of my car! I actually had a good conversation with a 73 y/o woman who was born in Bagdad. What an amazing woman! A pleasant surprise today.
I was able to catch a few including one of my favorite ships, the MD11. Actually I was 1 for 3 with the MD11 today:
Missed-Fed Ex
Caught-Finnair
Missed-Alitalia Cargo
Oh well, I'll have better luck next time. Here are a few decent ones from today:





Then I drove around and found a high school in Five Towns (don't remembe the name of it) and was able to take a few photos from there. Not too bad.

Nice shots! I was over at Firestone and got the same stuff, so I guess we were there around the same time. I'm working on mine right now, will have some to post later.

[Bellucciman]

Hey Moose, how are you?
I was looking for the Firestone and couldn't find it. I wasn't sure where it was and stumbled on to the high school. I'll pay attention a little better to the forum so next time I'll find the place!
I was hoping there were others out today since it was so nice out. I can't wait to see your shots!

...we'll I was there! And so was Tom Alfano...and Tom Turner! I don't know why we didn't see you, Bellucciman...cuz we were at Firestone too. Infact, we saw many of the same planes that you apparently did. Were you hiding? :P Anyways, here are some shots that I got today that are a bit different than the ones you got, check em out:

































It was INDEED a good day! 8)

Great stuff guys!

Don't think I have ever seen a Virgin HoBe shot, thanks for capturing that Josh!

I was looking for the Firestone and couldn't find it.

It's across the street from Costco, where the McDonalds and Wendys are. If you go around to the other side of Costco (the side away from the water) it's across that street. There is a shopping center with a Marshalls and a soon-to-open Best Buy. The Firestone building is at the front of the parking lot (it closed a few months ago). Right now, there is a big pile of snow along the edge of the lot, hiding it from the road. If you are going down Rockaway (away from JFK) and would make a right turn into Costco, just continue down past the next light (Peninsula Blvd) then make a right turn into the lot at the Wendys.

Here are some of mine from today:

Saw a bunch of 3-holers today, too bad there wasn't a 727 or L-1011 among them. You can see a JetBlue departure above the Alitalia MD-11:

Fantastic pictures everyone!! I'm sooo looking forward to my NY trip.

Tomm';ys "Constellation" is actually the Primaris aircraft N740PA. They jsut got it back from being painted to havethose titles added last week, to show the name of the vacation company that hired them. Really happy you got that, Tommy.

There's been a lot of Miami Air activity lately, too.

Man, you guy's are lucky, you get all the cool traffic!

Man, you guy's are lucky, you get all the cool traffic!

You mean like this :)

[nwafan20]

Nope, seen enough of that! :D

Actually, I have to admit, I have a strong affection for the Dc-9, I guess you could call it a crush! :oops: 8)

[nwafan20]

Hey, did anyone else notice this? America West on a United CRJ?

[LGA777]

Great shots everybody. Never cared for the latest Miami Air scheme until I just saw Bellucciman's underneath shot, the dark blue looks great from that angle. Tom, congrats on getting Constellation/Primaris. Did not realize until today their callsign is "Whitecap" And moose thanks for the good news. I had no idea they where building a BestBuy there, pretty handy if anyone needs a last minute memory card or batteries.
