Newb question here... how did you get such great sharp images of the T-38 when it flew past? I had too much camera shake, so mine all came out a little blurry :(

Battery Park for me, since I work a few blocks away. Pictures later. Great stuff from everyone. Anyone know how long the Pathfinder DC-9 is sticking around? Would love to get out and see it, but a little pressed for time this evening.
Luck is half the battle!
It was Epic!

Great shots. How did you get access to the area at JFK? I'm sure security was extra-tight. Did you happen to get the tail # of the B747?
Tail is N905NA. If you parked at the Lufthansa Cargo parking lot, there is a pedestrian bridge over the highway that has a direct view of the shuttle area. Great spot!

Just saw our own Mike Primamore and his wife Rose being interviewed down at Battery Park on Ch 7 ABC Eyewitness News Pretty decent coverage of today's events, Nice job Mike and Rose !
We also had great fun at Battery Park despite the windy chill. News trucks from Eyewitness News, NY 1, and Fox were there interviewing those with the longest lenses. Incredible. I noticed a slightly different flight path then shown on the map. It appeared that the flight turned west over Staten Island after returning from its Hudson trek then headed to EWR, flying over Rwy 29 as scheduled. In the charts I've seen, there was no flight over Staten Island. Instead, after passing over the Statue the second time, she was shown flying directly to EWR, around NJ until N. Manhattan over to Rwy 13 at LGA, onwards to TRACON at Westbury then southbound to arrive JFK Rwy 31L. It's not a major deviation. After touchdown, EWR stopped using the 4 Rwy Complex and switched to the 22's Approach turning to Rwy 29 due to strong gusts. A wonderful time at Battery Park despite the chill.
I saw her from about 20 miles out (was up on the top floor of 30 Rock) and watched her go all the way up the river, make a SWEEPING turn to the west over the Tappan Zee and head back south...it's a sight I'll never forget. Even with the clouds, the vis was superb!
The coverage from all of you was amazing, and the shots & info provided by you guys is wonderful, I surely appreciate it!

It was AWESOME at Eisenhower I actually put the camera down and stopped shooting just to take it in. That lasted about 20 seconds when I picked up and kept clicking.
I want to thank Nassau 5 for keeping in touch with the ROBER controller the whole time and running LiveATC on the DROID over the van's IFE system (lol) was a win for all around us.
i had every intention of getting out today...despite blacking out last night and not waking up until noon today (extenuating circumstances) I'm going to turn in my "aviation spotter" card. So upset I missed it, but glad that everyone got such great shots!!!
Have you ever seen a grown man naked?
Some of mine... Heat Shimmer was off the scale, even up close
