[megatop412]

Welcome to the JFK time machine, all shots taken with a Nikon FM2 and Nikkor 70-210mm f4-5.6- all manual, all the time, baby. Although I tried to fix these up a little, I make no apologies for the quality.

We begin with the obligatory Concorde:



Double Memory


The new National:


Moomins MD-11


Sun Country from Costco

Ahh, so you remember Times Square Store! Excellent! We would always buy our Xmas tree from their nursery.

So then it would make sense to you, if I said that some of my shots were taken while parked next to the Big Banana! All hallowed ground to me.

Here's a little quiz: if I said, "OK guys I plan to be out spotting tomorrow by Korvette's to catch the new A300B2", where would you be going to meet up with me?

I could keep going, but you get the point. Thanks for all your compliments, people!

And Raj- that RAM SP is just killer, thanks for your shots(still can't believe I never got myself a Swissair when the damn things were flying by every day)
