    Cargolux 747-8F Inbound JFK Wednesday 1/25/12

    A Cargolux 747-8F is due at JFK today. This would mark the first visit of the type to JFK.

    Working on finding out the ETA.

    If they come in at or before 5pm and they land 31R, I will try to catch it from home.

    Dang. If they had left on time, they would have been here in 5 minutes. Oh well. Maybe next time.

    Looks like he's leaving for IAH at 740pm.
    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.
    I trust you are not in too much distress. —Captain Eric Moody, British Airways Flight 9

    Best I could do in the dark.

    It's hard to take chances but sometimes it's better if you do

    Mr. Manny.........it's always an honor shooting with you!!!

    Unfortunately I didn't make the mounds, here's the best that I could do. Stupid me forgot to adjust my setting back to RAW. She is definitely a beauty, can't wait to catch her in good light.
