    Spotting JFK early Sunday morning, what to expect? 4/29

    I'm thinking of heading into spot at JFK on an early Sunday morning, like tomorrow. I was thinking of going in as soon as I saw some sun.

    What heavies or interesting stuff could I expect to see? I rarely get to spot on a weekend, so I figured I'd ask you gentlemen for advice.

    Worse come to worse, if nothing cool is coming in, I might just sleep in.


    I look forward to your thoughts and thank y'all in advance.
    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.

    The Aerolinas 340 is a nice catch. There is plenty good stuff at first light Mario. If they are using 22R for departures you can get some nice stuff from Bayswater as well.

    Why do I have to go to boarding school!!!! Nooo!!!!!
    Bubble baths maybe? :mrgreen:

    Well Mario if you feel like staying out longer and want to meet up with me, Josh, and Ryan give my cell a call:

    1-845-380-0120

    I'll be leaving here in about an hour so I'll get to JFK around 12:00 or 12:30.

    Surprised at how crappy it is here. I am on the water freezing my butt off. Good luck Mario..

    Yeah, it was dodgy wx.

    But let's face it. Planes fly in all kinds of weather and photos should reflect that.

    I was glad to get this in new colors. One of my favorite birds and probably one of hte last times you will see her so clean!
