JFK - 2/7/2011

Took the day off today and it was well worth it!

This unexpected visitor arrived around 1:30pm on 13L. I missed catching this bird in the air by about 5 mins.

Great shots, Mark. Looks like the day off was well worth it.

Nice shots ! Awesome catch on the Visitor

Can't get enough of the bank shots! Great stuff!

Great stuff Mark... love the Cargoitalia... it looks like you had better luck than I did with the departure angles :-)

Thanks for the comments......Manny........the Cargo Italia used a pretty good chunk of runway (which surpised me!). I even went by the wooden fence figuring she might bank early, but didn't.

By the way.........I did stop by Bayswater Park and it was open. You have to trek through the snow and mud, but once you get to the cement block it's all clear and fine.

Love the Cargoitalia Mark.. As for that Private Air 757, havent seen that at JFK in a few years, ive been chasing that one for sometime, but great catch..

Any idea who's flying this private 757?

Great posting Mark!

It's operated by PrivatAir, a Swiss charter company.

I believe Manny and I saw this visitor last year, but the aircraft was parked near the GAT.

Mark you take great shots!
