Came back to my apartment in Jersey City and saw a Virgin 747 coming from the direction of the Freedom tower, putting gear down and then turning final to 22L at EWR. I have never, in all my time here, seen that before. A BA777 did the same thing a few minutes later.
Here's the Flightaware track for the 747: http://flightaware.com/live/flight/VIR1
Is this necessary when storms are coming from the west? What were LGA and JFK doing at the same time??
