Zee71 i sent you a PM.
As far as the AirTrain, jebluflyermatt not sure how you managed any spotting from there plus get 'caught' by security personnel. It's a rather terrible and uncomfortable place to be spotting from. I simply wanted to know if it was working, lol. The UN link on post 9 has a list of countries, but had some missing, lke Iraq (maybe they're not coming this year)
Haha yeah, it wasn't easy spotting on the AirTrain to begin with. The train is currently up and running, as far as I'm aware. However, it's only running between T4 and Howard Beach/Jamaica. No trains to or through T1 and T2.Originally Posted by MarioFL

Saturday, 9/16
0635L: I should not be up at this hour of the day tracking airplanes, but YOLO so screw it. Ivory Coast's G550, TU-VAE, just departed Abidjan for Newark as IVY02. Current ETA is 1615L. One of the Slovakian A319s (OM-BYA) is airborne over Germany as SSG001, bound for JFK. They left on time, so we're looking good for a 1445L ish arrival. A couple more to add to today's schedule: a Poland 737-800 BBJ into Newark at 2020L (PLF101), a Qatar 320 ACJ into JFK at 1430L (QAF4), Turkey's 747-8 (TRK1) and 330-200 (TRK2) into JFK at 1645L and 1725L, respectively, and a Qatar 747-8 into JFK at 1925L (QAF1). Once these are all airborne I'll update accordingly.
0740L: The Turkey duo is airborne. TC-TRK, the 748, takes the lead as TRK1, with an ETA of 1715L into JFK. TC-TUR, the 330, is about 20 minutes behind the 74. This one is TRK2. Nigeria’s Falcon 7X just flew from Dover to Boston.
0835L: Here comes the Kuwait 340-500, 9K-GBA. Currently en route from Geneva to JFK as KUG003, with an ETA of 1530L. A couple things I'm watching are a pair of Algerian jets (G5 and 340-500), CS-TFY, Kazakhstan's 330, and Jordan's G650.
0935L: Aaand another Kuwait. The 737-900, 9K-GCC, just departed Stansted for Stewart as KUG046, ETA 1605L. Nigeria’s Falcon 7X departed Boston and is headed back across the Atlantic. I will be offline from 1000L until about 1130L as I’m taking a road trip. If anything interesting comes in during that time please don’t hesitate to post! See you all in a couple hours.
1205L: We’re back! Qatar’s 320 ACJ, A7-AAG, is headed up the East Coast, operating as QAF4 to JFK. They’re running about half an hour early, so expect a 1400L arrival. Oh dear, here comes 2-DEER, with the Angolan delegation onboard, as ANGOLA1 from Havana. These guys just crossed into NC and are probably headed to JFK. Estimating an arrival in an hour and change. Poland is up and running about half an hour behind schedule as PLF101, tail number 0111 (a 737-800). I’d guess a 2100L arrival into EWR, and they’re scheduled to repo to Atlantic City afterwards.
1255L: Angola descending through 11K off the coast of Jersey, going into JFK. Jordan’s G650, VQ-BNZ, appears to be on the JFK approach from the east. Descending through FL230 just off the tip of Long Island as RJA950.
1345L: Angola and Jordan on the ground at JFK. Qatar 4 descending through 11K off the coast of the Jersey shore. Qatar’s 343 (AAH) departed Stewart just over an hour ago headed west.
1400L: I almost missed this one… here comes Rwanda as well, onboard 9H-DCGB (DCW101), a Global 7500, into Teterboro. ETA 1430L.
1440L: Angola and Jordan taxiing out from JFK. Slovakia on the descent over Long Island. Algeria’s 340-500, 7T-VPP, appears to be inbound from the southeast and should be on the ground in under an hour wherever they’re going. Saudi Arabia’s 340-200 (HZ-SKY1), Oman’s G550 (A4O-AD, callsign ORF3) and Palestine’s 737-700 BBJ (T7-PAL) are all headed up the Atlantic right now. The Saudis are probably going to JFK, and I’d guess they’ll be there in an hour and a half ish. Oman is going to Teterboro (ETA 1650L), and Palestine is going to White Plains and should land around 1700L.
1520L: Algeria’s 340-500 just landed at JFK, and Algeria’s G5, 7T-VPG, is about 20 mins out, probably going directly to Stewart. Ivory Coast and Kuwait 340 have about an hour to go.
1620L: Angola repositioned to Stewart, and Algeria’s G5 went straight to Stewart as expected. Slovakia is taxiing out from JFK now. Kuwait is at JFK, and Ivory Coast is at EWR. Ivory will repo to Stewart, as will the Turks after dropping at JFK.
1635L: HZ-SKY1 is also at JFK, forgot to mention. Slovakia is airborne and repositioning to either Farmingdale or Islip. Turkey 1 is about 45 mins out.
1730L: Jordan repositioned to Islip, and Slovakia went to Farmingdale. Qatar AAG repositioned to Dulles. Turkey 1 just landed, and Turkey 2 is about 30-45 out. Palestine landed at White Plains, and Oman just landed into Teterboro. Algeria 340-500 is taxiing out of JFK now, probably going to Stewart.
Side note: I’m offline the next hour and a half as I drive back to Cleveland. See you all at 1900L.
1910L: Back again! Turkey 1 and 2 are at JFK. Poland is about two hours from Newark. HZ-SKY1 repositioned to Dulles, and Algeria's and Kuwait’s 340s went to Stewart. Ghana’s Falcon 900, 9G-EXE, is inbound for Teterboro as GHA001, with an ETA of 1955L. Qatar’s 747-8, A7-HHE, is inbound for JFK calling as QAF1 and should be landing around 2000L. Qatar’s 330 (HHM) is currently en route from Stewart back to JFK as QAF3.
1920L: Also inbound is Argentina’s “new” 757, ARG-01, conveniently calling as ARG01 (good find springbok!). Currently east of the Chesapeake Bay so should be into JFK (at least I think that’s where they’re going) in 30-45 mins. Brazil’s presidential A319 ACJ, 2101, is en route from Havana to JFK as BRS01. They’re currently over Florida, so probably 2.5 until arrival. Royal Jet 8 is scheduled out of Havana shortly to JFK, with a scheduled arrival of 2200L. This one has the Comoros delegation, I believe.
1940L: Sorry, a lot going on. There’s a second Poland 737 BBJ, 0110, headed to Newark, with an ETA of 2300L (callsign PLF101A). This one will also reposition to Atlantic City. Brazil 1 will repo to Islip after dropping off at Kennedy. Uzbekistan’s 787, UK-001, is headed for JFK as UZB1. ETA of about 2130L. Kazakhstan’s 330-200, UP-A3001, is also bound for Kennedy as BEC001, and they’re right in front of the Uzbeks. They are confirmed to reposition to Stewart after the Kennedy stop. Royal Jet will repo to Stewart, as well.
2055L: Argentina did indeed go to JFK. Poland 101 just landed in Newark. Royal Jet is still in Havana. Kazakhstan is about 20 mins out, and Uzbekistan is 5-10 behind it. Brazil will land in about half an hour, too.
2100L: A separate post to list off what's scheduled for tomorrow. Germany is scheduled into JFK at 1840L, callsign GAF891. Two Brazil Legacies are scheduled into Teterboro tomorrow at 0610L (BRS65) and 1020L (BRS66), and an E190 VC-2 is scheduled into JFK at 0620L (BRS6). Ecuador's bringing the Falcon 7X, scheduled into Teterboro at 1650L as FAE1. It appears Congo is on its way on P4-CLA, and South Africa is somewhere out there too.
2205L: Colombia snuck in last night at 3 am. FAC0001, their 737 BBJ, dropped at JFK and repositioned to Dover. Turkey 1 already repositioned to Stewart, and Turkey 2 is headed up there now. Qatar 3, Brazil's 319, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan are on the ground at JFK. Qatar 3 is taxiing for departure now. Poland 101A (not to be confused with 101) is about an hour 15 from Newark. Royal Jet Comoros (A6-RJV) is finally on its way, estimated into JFK at 0015L. I also want to take a moment to thank springbok and David Perston for the help with updates today, much appreciated!
2340L: A7-AAH went to Detroit of all places today (given the large Arab population there it does make sense), and A7-HHM (aka Qatar 3) is headed back across the Atlantic. RoyalJet is about half an hour from JFK. A7-HHE (Qatar 1) repositioned to Baltimore; haven't seen the Qataris go there before. Kazakhstan is on its way up to Stewart. Argentina repoed to Springfield Mass. Brazil and Uzbekistan are still at JFK. Brazil is taxiing out now for Islip, not sure what Uzbekistan's plan is. Poland 101 repoed to Atlantic City already, and 101A is probably headed down there soon as well. Wow, that was one heck of a day. Hoping for another exciting one tomorrow. I'm going to call it a night here, and I will be back bright and early tomorrow morning. Good night everyone!
Sunday, 9/17
0625L: Good morning people of NYCAviation, and good morning to the Congolese and Brazilians. Congo is aboard P4-CLA, a Comlux 767-200, and they’re on a left downwind for the 22s at JFK as CONGO01. Brazil 6 (BRS06), a VC-2 E190 registered 2590, is just landing into JFK now. Brazil 65 (BRS065), a Legacy with registration 2582, is on the approach into Teterboro and should be on the ground in 15 mins or so. A bunch more was added to today’s schedule, and I’ll update on that once I’m fully awake haha.
0730L: Brazil 6 and Congo are at JFK, and Brazil 65 is at Teterboro. As springbok and David pointed out, EI-LSY, a GainJet G550, arrived into Teterboro this morning from Harare (with a fuel stop in the Canaries) as GJI55. Safe to assume this is the Zimbabwean delegation. Brazil 6 will repo to Islip. Another Brazilian Legacy, 2585, is just out of San Juan for Teterboro as BRS066. They should be landing just after 1000L. Namibia's Falcon 7X, V5-GON, is currently en route from Paris Le Bourget to Teterboro under NAM001. They're estimated to be on the ground around 1250L. Nigeria's 737 BBJ, 5N-FGT, is currently en route from Abuja to Santa Maria and will then continue to JFK, with an ETA of 1820L. They're calling as NGR001. The DRC is scheduled into JFK at 1910L as DRC001, and Swaziland is scheduled into JFK at 2030L. South Africa's 737 BBJ, ZS-RSA, is headed for JFK over the Atlantic and should be touching down in just over five hours. Callsign for them is LMG1. Czech Republic's A319 ACJ, 3085, is on its way too as CEF01. They're currently en route from Prague to Reykjavik and will then continue on to Farmingdale. ETA there is 1700L. A Plus Ultra A330-200, EC-KOM, is just out of Havana for JFK as PUE993. I guess this has the Cuban delegation onboard? It's a bummer that they aren't flying in on Conviasa (almost the entire Cubana fleet is grounded right now, so gov't officials have mainly been flying on Conviasa lately).
0800L: The Peruvians were scheduled out of Santo Domingo for JFK half an hour ago, but I don't even think they've left Lima yet. The Spaniards will be arriving tonight into JFK from Madrid Torrejon as AME4567. One of the times is screwed up on Flightaware, so I'll wait till they're airborne to provide further info. Turkmenistan's 777-200LR, EZ-A780, is on its way to JFK as TUG3201. They're currently over the Adriatic Sea, so if they're making it nonstop, they've got about nine hours to go.
0920L: My bad, Peru is airborne from Santo Domingo, the tracking is just super spotty with them. Their 737-500, 356, is just east of the Bahamas as FAP001. They should be into JFK right after 1100L. Congo Comlux just departed JFK and is probably headed to Stewart. Brazil 66 is about 45 minutes out, as is Cuba Plus Ultra. Botswana's Global Express, OK1, is just north of Orlando as F001, probably going to Teterboro. They're about an hour 45 out. Senegal's A320 NEO, 6V-SEN, is over the Atlantic as SENE001, from Dakar to JFK. They've got just over six hours to go.
0945L: Swaziland's 340-300, 3DC-SDF, is airborne from Accra and on the way to JFK. They left Accra over an hour early, so expect an early to mid 1900L hour arrival. Ethiopia is on the way up from Havana to JFK onboard ET-ATG, an Ethiopian 787-8 (ETH8508). Estimating an arrival just after noon local. Comlux is not going to Stewart but rather back to Africa. I wonder if they're going to grab a second delegation.
1055L: Oman's G550 just departed Teterboro for London Stansted. DRC's 737-900 BBJ, T7-RDC, is on its way from Kinshasa to Espargos in Cabo Verde then continuing to JFK as DRC001. Scheduled into JFK at 1905L, which means they'd be leaving Espargos in just over an hour, but they've got two+ hours until they even get to Espargos. Moral of the story, they'll be pretty late. Botswana is on the approach into Teterboro and should be there within the next 10-15 minutes. Peru is crossing the Delaware Bay, so they'll be into JFK in about 30 mins. I'm keeping an eye on Hungary's Falcon 7X, 606, which is in southwestern Maine and seems to be headed towards the area as HUAF643. They look to be on the EWR/TEB track and will probably be there in an hour or so if that's where they're going. CS-TFY, a MasterJet A320 ACJ, is over Nova Scotia going to Stewart as LMJ453Y. I'm trying to figure out who's on it. Ethiopian is about an hour and a half from JFK. Czech Republic just departed Reykjavik, which should put them in Farmingdale just before 1700L.
1155L: Hungary just landed in Teterboro, and Botswana is there too. Peru and Cuba are at JFK. CS-TFY stopped in Bangor. Ethiopian is descending over the Delaware Bay, so about a half an hour left for them. Peru is repoing to Dover, and Cuba is going to Stewart. South Africa is about an hour out of JFK, and Namibia has about two hours left to Teterboro.
1240L: Ethiopia landed at JFK, and Cuba just departed JFK for Stewart. South Africa is landing shortly into JFK. CS-TFY is departing Bangor now for Stewart. Namibia’s got about an hour till Teterboro.
1340L: Namibia landing TEB now, and CS-TFY made it to Stewart. Today’s presidential TFR goes into effect at 1745L. Spain’s A310, T.22-1, is on the way to JFK as AME4567. ETA 2000L.
1450L: I forgot to mention that Uzbekistan secured a remote stand at JFK's T4, likely due to the fact that Uzbekistan Airways utilizes T4 at JFK for commercial flights. South Africa just departed JFK and looks to be headed up to Stewart. Sweden's G550, 102005, is headed south through Quebec as SVF632 to Teterboro. They'll be there in about an hour and a half. Ecuador's Falcon 7X (FAE-052) is over Cuba for Teterboro, callsign FAE001. ETA 1725L. Jordan departed Islip a couple hours ago and is headed west across the country. Currently crossing the Atlantic are Nigeria, Senegal, Turkmenistan, Swaziland and Spain. DRC landed into Espargos about an hour ago and is still there now, so they won't be here until late tonight.
1550L: Senegal is about to land. Ethiopia is out and headed back to Addis Ababa. Plus Ultra Cuba is out of Stewart, headed back to Madrid. Sweden is on the descent over Albany. I almost forgot about Czech Republic... they're about an hour from Farmingdale. Turkmenistan has about an hour and a half to go. They will reposition to Stewart after dropping at JFK. Ecuador has under two hours left to Teterboro.
1620L: LX-TCB, a Silver Arrows A319 NEO ACJ, is over the Outer Banks headed north from Havana to JFK as SVW97CB. Based on my brief research, it seems this would be the Mozambique delegation.
1735L: Senegal is at JFK. Turkmenistan is on final approach into JFK. Ecuador should be in Teterboro in 15-20 ish mins. Lebanon's Falcon 8X, T7-MIK, is just north of Hartford and inbound for Teterboro. They should be there in 20-30 mins. Nigeria has about 30-45 minutes to go. Saudi Arabia's A310, HZ-NSA, is about an hour from JFK, coming in from the northeast. Germany's A350-900, 10+02, is right behind the 310 as GAF891 into JFK. United States Air Force One, 92-9000, just departed Andrews for JFK and should be landing in 45 ish.
1840L: Senegal repositioned to Stewart. AF1, Mozambique, Nigeria, and Turkmenistan are at JFK. Lebanon and Ecaudor are in Teterboro. HZ-NSA is on final approach to JFK, and Germany is 10-15 out. The Colombia 737 that was up at Stewart repositioned to Norfolk yesterday. Swaziland is about an hour from JFK.
1930L: Here come Iraq aboard Iraqi Airways 2, a 787-8 (YI-ATC) nonstop from Baghdad to JFK, with an ETA of 0605L tomorrow morning. Swaziland is about to land into JFK, and Spain is about 30-45 out. DRC’s ETA is 2150L.
2015L: Silver Arrows Mozambique repositioned to Stewart, and Turkmenistan is departing now for Stewart. Spain is landing shortly.
2125L: Turkmenistan is in Stewart. Nigeria is on its way down to Dover. HZ-NSA just departed JFK, probably to Stewart. I’ll update with tomorrow’s scheduled arrivals shortly.
2140L: DRC is on the descent south of Rhode Island, so about half an hour left for them. Korea's 747-8, 22001, is about two hours out of Seoul as KAF001, estimated into JFK around 0830L. China is coming in with an Air China 747, not sure if it's a -400 or a -8, but it's CA11 which is scheduled to depart Beijing shortly and will arrive at JFK at 1150L tomorrow. Ukraine is scheduled in at 1520L as UKN1103, and it seems like they'll be on the government's 319. Mauritania is scheduled into JFK at 1545L nonstop from Nouakchott, callsign MRT001.
0010L: We're still on the 9/17 sleep cycle, so I'll say it's still the 17th, lol. DRC is in JFK. Equatorial Guinea's 737 BBJ, 3C-EGE, is over Long Island on the approach into JFK most likely. They'll probably be on the ground in 15-20 minutes. Monaco's Falcon 8X, 3A-MGA, is just hitting Newfoundland headed to Teterboro. They're getting in around 0245L. China is onboard B-2447, a 747-400, as CCA011 into JFK. ETA for this one is 1030L. Tajikistan is coming with the new 787, EY-001, callsign SMR001. ETA is 1130L into JFK. Swaziland and Spain repositioned to Stewart. Let me just say that this was probably the best session at JFK in half a decade. I'm signing off for tonight, see you all in the morning!
