[MODERATOR'S NOTE: This thread is a combination of three threads planning and reviewing JFK spotting for 10/28. The title of this thread has also been edited to reflect. Good coverage guys!]
My used Panasonic FZ50 wannabe-SLR came today. I'm planning to be out pretty much all day tomorrow (depending on how early I can get up :) ) Anyone care to join me?
For whoever will be at JFK tomorrow try and catch Jet Airways as it is their first day of operations. I believe the ETA is 11:15am.
Where does one get 31 arrivals at that time of day? All of the reasonable 31L spots I've been to are afternoon spots.
(I was thinking about hitting the Worlds Fair Marina in the morning...I haven't been to LGA for spotting since the beginning of the summer.)
The Marina is not very good for LGA in the morning until around 11am at LEAST. The sun is at an awkward angle (high and behind).
Others might have some good ideas for JFK 31R arrivals in the morning. What terminal is Jet Airways using? If it's T1 they might come in on 31L.
Email me anytime at [email protected].
There using Terminal 8 actually!Originally Posted by Phil D.
I got the arrival time wrong, it's actually 12:45pm.
Was thinking of the afternoon but gotta conference in the morning and will be shooting some fall foliage later in the day. Sorry but enjoy the wx!
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.

I think Jet Airways is using Terminal 4 IAT.
Aspires to become an Air Traffic Controller at Kennedy Tower.

Incorrect. Jet Airways is indeed operating from Terminal 8. I verified this while riding the AirTrain at JFK a few days ago; as Jet Airways was listed under Terminal 8...

According to Jet Airways' website, the scheduled arrival is 12:45, which is a pretty terrible time of day, sun-wise. I'll head out to Firestone and take my chances. You know how it is with a new camera...I just want to take pictures of something :) (And it has a 14-day return policy...)
Great policy. :P "BAH, these pics are backlit. Send it back!":lol:
Habitat is coming in at 2:09, or so says ACARSD...:D
(But I may be the only one here who still needs to catch it under good circumstances...)
Jet Airways doesn't seem to be in FlightAware, so I'm just going to have to hope to get lucky on that one.
I'm off to see the wizard...
Good luck!
Be sure to post shots when you get back. :borat:
