    KJFK - 09/09/2011 (Image Heavy)

    Had the itch to go out. Here are some from Bayswater Park.

    ELAL Cargo lining up on 4L


    ELAL on the roll


    Delta SkyTeam


    TAM (Although I got this scheme a few times this is a different perspective)


    Singapore on short final for RWY 4R


    Allegiant...not sure what this guy was doing at JFK, but he was parked at T4. An unexpected visitor to say the least.


    Big Blue for RWY 4R




    United (this is the second one I've seen in recent days with the Continental tail)


    Transaero on short final for RWY 4R


    Luffty


    Not sure what was going on in the city but saw these helios passing by the Freedom Tower and then heading north.


    A couple of 31R arrivals


    Finally got a nice shot of China Eastern in good light


    Korean A380 passing overhead at Panera

    The helos were most likely advance team for the Presidents visit on Sunday. Doing a little reconnaisance flight.

    Thanks for the comments and feedback. Regarding the helo's, after touching base with Manny and with Gerards comments it sounds like that is the exact reason. The helo's were probably perform their dry runs, and doing some reconnaisance work. Still have a few more images to process.

    Got an email into s few people I know at G4. I would say charter most likely. Kind of interesting they came and went back to MSP. Maybe they did a favor for SY.

    When the Prez is using the white tops, those are the plush luxo deluxe... but the bad boys in your picture, those are heavily armed... I saw one up close recently from Rockaway Blvd when Obama came to Connecticut and they had a minigun on both sides and I believe an M-60 out of one of the rear windows.... The minigun looks like a Gau-17 Gatling, electrically driven or a GE XM214... that is up to 10,000 rounds per minute ladies and gents
