LGA spotting 4/22/07
-
that is a TZ 737-300, the -800s have winglets and the NG wing. i'll give you an A for ingenuity though!
-
Good pictures of the deps. Though the quality wasnt great :D
-
-
So if these were arrivals, I'm guessing you were five or so miles out?
-
sadly no it was around 1 or 2 miles out
-
Really? I'm surprised that so many planes still have their gear up. I live under the approach to runway 14 at IND and the planes here starting lower their gear right above me, and I'm 5 to 6 miles from the field.
-
That is because it is the expressway visual to LGA. Because of the way the approach is flown it is very well possible as I see some planes drop the gear right before they make the base to final turn on occasion in the tower. Here is the chart for the Expressway visual.

+10 for creativity!
+6 for quality
Get a better lens! Those would be great shots!

Wow, the pilots have little time to go-around if the gear fails then.
-
It is not a normal occurance. Most of the time they have it down well before they start the turn from base to final. On another note today was out and about on a break wondering and a Colgan Saab came in from the North and made a turn in to land on 31.
Slow day but some intresting traffic and ocurances.
