Habitat!!! Nice!! Nice shots!
Great Habitat Eric!
Nice shots Eric!
Hadn't planned on going out - was supposed to get together with a friend, (who ended up sick) and by the time I realized JFK had switched to Rwy 31, I figured it was too late. Then I remembered - Daylight Saving Time! I had an extra hour for spotting!
I got to Firestone around 4:30, and got a bunch:

After about 45 minutes, they switched back to 4 L/R, with southwesterly departures on 31L. Headed over to Howard Beach for a while, but the light was just about gone by then. Did get to meet a couple of other local guys doing some spotting. They've heard about us, but hadn't really checked the site. We spent more time talking about local spotting locations then actually shooting. I saw this tail across the way, and couldn't figure out who it is. It's obviously a DC-10/MD-11, with what looks like a pelican logo. Anybody recognize it?

wow, a great day with some great shots! thanks for sharing guys!
moose,
that last shot would be cargoitalia. DC10.
Great shots as well Moose!
Thanks, Eric. I haven't seen that before. Is she a regular at JFK?
Yes, it's a regular. I'm not sure what its schedule is, but it's a tough one to get during the day.
I actually just watched it depart on 31L at about 7:20am.
I see they STILL are not showing up on the trackers.

I think it was my last shot before I went to FL.

The only time I have seen them depart is on Sunday Mornings.
Good shots guys, I'm going to be away from spotting for a bit this month since I'll be in Canada most of March with the exception of this week. After this week I won't be back until April.
Great - guess that means I'll have to get up early on a Sunday if I want to catch this one...Quote:
