Air Force One coming

**Speedbird1** · 2014-06-16, 06:35 AM

I posted about seeing Ospreys and USMC choppers fly over my head at Coney Beach on Sat. June 14. I joked that they were doing a mini-air show just for me. The mystery is solved. On Tues., June 17, in the late afternoon, Air Force One will arrive at JFK for another fundraiser in the City. The entourage was doing a dry-run for this. Arrival will almost certainly be on Rwy 31L.

Anyone with an approximate ETA to wheels fdown at JFK? Just might be able to get down to Wall Street.

Thanks for the info but it's too hot for me to take 3 trains & the Q10 bus for the arrival. I finally saw her arrive on March 11 without warning on 31L on my last visit. Good luck; I would say a 31L arrival but possibly a 13R. The arrival is deleted on all sites, of course. A clue the flight is coming is when departures/ arrivals suddenly halt & some arrivals go into a holding pattern.

Checked for 31-L

Ha then I could have made it there to Wall Street!! Left Dr office (E68 and 1st) at 3:45 but made my cut off at 3:30 to try. Plus the heat was a factor along with getting home early sounded nice!
