Great shots all round Senga!

I think the most special aircraft of all of those to come in is the IL-96. When was the last time one of those came to JFK? They usually bring the IL-62, no?
My favorites among the whole group are the German A310 and the Mexican 757.
Why do the French always bring 3 different planes?

Nice catches as always, Senga. I wasn't aware that the new Chilean 767 made an appearance this year, makes sense though. The replacement for the 707 was actually supposed to be a former German A310 but instead they went for a 767-300.
Phil, one aircraft is for the President and his wife which I believe is the A319 and the rest are for the entourage!

Thanks for the compliments,
Gordon,
I didn't know it flew in either. It was at JFK when I stopped by one morning. I suppose I was VERY lucky to get the Chile 707-300 last year. I had a feeling I would not be seeing it again.

Josh, Yes that should be "Wheres Senga" I think it be pretty popular with regional photogs :)
Phil,
The IL-96 was usually a presidential aircraft but theyahve 3 now.. PM Putin was on this one and its probably his ego that he flew on the SDM9005 flight with a IL-96 instead of the standard IL-62. I have a feeling we won't be seeing the IL-62 much for the time being.
I went out to get a daytime shot of the IL-96 for Russia. I am glad to FINALLY get a sunny shot of this aircraft.

Great shots Senga!
I've been looking forward to your UN summary since before the arrivals started. You got a lot of great shots this year - The Russia, Ukraine, Burkina, and AF1 are just beautiful! :borat:

Chris102,
Thanks for the compliments.
I sure hop next year will be better. This year was Painful.
The shots of Air Force One and the Ukraine are from Previous years. Eventually I stopped shooting these planes since I have pix of them many times over. If I shot AF-1 think it would have been my 12th shot of it from over the years :) After a while you say I think Ill just "WATCH" it.
