Today 4-8-08 few pics JFK

Anybody going to be out at JFK or LGA this afternoon? Just curious, will probably get out of work early afternoon and I was smart enough to bring the camera with me :D

If it looks nice, I may hit JFK this afternoon.

If your out today, keep a look out for some hornets doing a flyover for the Mets home opener. Most likely they may land at LGA. I'm at work and can't make it. Get me some pics :borat:

I just realized that they are still landing 4. If the Rhinos did land I hope someone got a pic from Planeview Park. :shock:

I have to take my abortion..er..phone into sprint but if it's still early enough, I'll meet up.

Kenny - send give me a text/call when you get out. Hopefully you can meet up with us. I'm leaving garden city now, hoping to get down to JFK by 2:30 or so...

Will do bro.

I took these with my Nikon D200 + Nikon AF-S 17-55MM/F2.8G ED IF DX at brookville park. Just bought this lens last week, I like it~ :D

Turned out to be a great afternoon of spotting. Met Andy at Bayswater for some 13L departure action around 2:30. The weather was beautiful and the action interesting. Josh May ended up joining us after a bit. Here are some of the highlights:



Some nice wing flex from Cathay


Phil's guys were up and turning early!






First AF A330 I remember seeing at JFK














Not sure what the story with this Thai was - we saw her arrive around 3pm, park over by IAB, then leave around 6:30. Don't know if the regular late morning departure returned for some reason, or if they were just running incredibly late.






We had an "interesting" encounter with NYPD that I'll post in the Spotter Blotter. We had some great light and great catches. Sorry you couldn't make it out Kenny - it was a good time!

Nice pics and beautiful location, where is the exactly spot your guys stay? :)

Thanks! We were at Bayswater Park. If you look at the JFK spotting map here http://nycaviation.com/jfkspotting it's location "D", a park on Jamaica Bay.

Nice shots! We got several of these guys departing later in the afternoon.

Im totaly in love with that Iberia A340-600 shot... Very interesting seeing Thai A345 departing JFK in the evening hours,, I dont remember seeing that flight on Flightaware this afternoon.. Great grab on Thai A345 though..

I saw the Thai pop on flightaware. Great catches guys, too bad Sprint tied me up. My phone was formatting itself.
