JFK - 2/14/08 (Pix and more pix)

[moose135]

Since I didn't have a sweetie to spend Valentine's Day with, I thought I'd spend a little quality time with the old 30D. I had hoped to catch Jet Airways, but I got tied up on the way to Firestone, and must have missed her by about 15 minutes. Overall, not a bad day - nice sky, not too cold, and some interesting subjects.











Catch them while you can!



Phil's boys were out in full force:

N765NA


N756NA


N752NA


Nice to catch Tradewinds, but a little disappointing too - she was operating under a CargoItalia callsign (Pelican 8702) and I was hoping to catch one of their DC-10s.




The famous "Firestone Bank Shot" - the result of a fairly aggressive S-turn on final.



The catch of the day!



Last shot of the day...when I heard Qantas 107 check it, I was hoping for that big red bird, but got a plain Jane instead.

Lovely shots Moose! Looks like it was a perfect day in NY!

NICE ON THE AIR BERLIN!!

You got 30% of our fleet today! haha

Great shots, Moose. I hoped to get out to ABE for a while today with the good light, but got tied up with school stuff.

Great Shots Moose! To bad you didn't catch Asia World City

[Iberia A340-600]

Great light and shots, Moose. Nice catch with D-AERS.

Luke, he didn't catch Asia World City because it departed at 9am this morning.

Nice shots with the JetBlue turn, Trade Winds Cargo(Ex Atlas), and Air Berlin A330

Beautiful shots as usual, moose. Oddly enough just last night as I was going through some old shots I never got a chance to edit, I happened to touch up a photo of D-AERS from September.

Some days are like that. Last time I was out (Feb. 2), I caught two or three North American 757s and one 767.

Nice shots. Moose, on a separate note, did you see the KL MD-11 coming while you were out there? Reason I ask is it seems KL liberally switches between MD-11 and 744 recently.

They brought the MD-11 yesterday - PH-KCH:

Great light on those birds. Love the banking B6!

Nice shots Moose... I hope to catch that Air Berlin myself soon as well.
