Spotting for Sunday the 19th at JFK?
I'm new here, but I had some questions about spotting at JFK tomorrow. This will be my second time spotting- I went in early September upon my first visit to NYC. I'm not into the photography part so much (my camera both sucks and blows), I just love watching the planes. My first time spotting at JFK, my friends and I found a spot at a small marina that really worked out well, but from some research it seems that a better spot would have been at the state park on the other side of the golf course. However, I've seen pictures of people creating the ultimate spot themselves, by renting a small boat and watching from the bay. Is this feasible/ legal nowadays? How much does it cost on average? How close can you get before they send the Coast Guard out after you? I'm assuming you can't do it like you used to, especially in NYC.
Is anyone spotting tomorrow at JFK? If so, any recommendation on places other than the state park/ marina to check out? I guess the mounds thing is closed, and I wasn't all that impressed with the BK/Costco parking lot. Obviously, it all depends on the runways in use. Thanks.
