    I'll probably head out tomorrow morning, JFK vs. LGA will be a gametime decision.
    Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem.
    All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control.

    We'll see how the WX is and the runways are. If it looks good I might take a drive out.

    With the amount of spotting I plan on doing this coming week with the airshow, I have to get the house in order tomorrow. 7 days 'til the Airshow!

    I'd very much like to do some spotting tomorrow, but I'm not at all optimistic about the weather...

    Yeah, it was beautiful when I got up...but instead of going to HoBe, I spent my time looking on the internet for a lens to use there :P

    Well I shot quick. My sensor needs cleaning BAD so I didn't go crazy on the edits. While I was there I met John Toomey. Nice guy with vast knowledge of the hobby past and present. Some of the stories he shared with me would make the hair of anybody reading the spotter blotter curl. I hope to run into him again sometime.

    What's with the boats? I know it's an active channel, but I thought you couldn't "hang around" that close to the airport. I see guys docked there fishing, have the restrictions changed?
