Parked at EWR this morning was a Pullmantur 747, not looking like it's going anywhere soon , and an Alitalia MD-11 on stand on Terminal B.
Unfortunately due to their parking positions, I was unable to read a registration on either one.
The 747 is tail on to IKEA on the B remote stands. Why couldn't they put it on A remote :-(
I can't seem to find them on Flytecomm!
Apparently both the flight from MXP and the flight from FCO were both operated by the B767-300 and I can't find the Pullmantur B747 flight.
Its pretty cool how this weekend has seen three very special Spanish visitors! Although I have not seen them my self at JFK and EWR it makes me feel like I am back in Madrid! 8)
I spotted it a few month ago when it flew for Aerlingus. EWR hasn't recived at B742s in a few days accept for CKS.....Maybe it was a special flight.

The Alitalia MD-11 was on Red 1 as AZA4644 inbound and AZA4645 outbound to and from FCO.
I couldn't find the Pullmantur in a search of the last 10 days
Wow a cargo MD-11 . I wonder why it wwas at EWR.
They normally go to JFK with the Cargoplanes.

It wasn't a cargo MD-11 it was a passenger one.
It was parked on stand on Terminal B attached to a jetway.
Alitalia MD-11 at EWR? I think the last time I saw that was when the Pope arrived on one. Air Force One with President Clinton arrived there as well to greet him and have a chat.

Maybe it was a charter flight...as that type of AZA flight numner is usually used for cargo ops.

I suppose you're right; they were definitely there, thats for sure. Just seemed over the years I saw nearly all 767s. Probably just the particular months/years I used to spot there.
When did Alitalia begin EWR service anyway?
I remember in terms of the bigger jets and international traffic - it seemed to start with a daily Peoples Express 747 to UK and then joined by Virgin Atlantic..and suddently the flood gates opened after that.
I think SAS was the first to make the move over to EWR and give up JFK
Do you have a picture of the md-11
The very last AZ MD-11 at EWR was in early Sept 2003.

I'm sure it was a charter similar tot he Spanish oens JFK has ben getting over the last few days. Especially since the daily AZA 767s came in that day as well.
