787 water canon salutes and all the fanfare this Saturday? :tongue::tongue::tongue:!
This seriously made my day! You bet I'll be out to catch this one!
Apparently Norwegian Air Shuttle starts service today, but with an A340? They don't have one in their fleet, so that's interesting. Due in about 8pm.
According to a thread on Big Blue, it's a lease from HiFly, a European leasing company, until they take delivery on a few 787s later this summer.
This Saturday LOT's 787 is going to land at JFK around 4pm . Flight LO6.
Haha, i hope theres a 3 hour delay so we can get it in evening light!!
**** that man. It needs to be right on time to catch a departure shot.Quote:

"Standing room only" this Sat/Sun at the spotting locations. Who's bringing the BBQ and Beers? :tongue:
Anyone know if there is going to be a water canon welcome and media event for her?

Saw an all white DC-10 on the downwind for 22 about 5. Nothing on FA anybody at the field see it?
Could it have been the Finnair Cargo all-white MD-11F?Quote:

The flight never tracks correctly on Flightaware, but it's normally a Friday afternoon arrival:Quote:

Thanks guys!
Aside from the LOT 787 coming today, according to Plane Finder and Flight Aware Etihad is coming in with a 777-300ER instead of the A340 livery. Registration is A6-ETM
So 4pmish for the 787 tonight? Damnit I have a lot (no pun intended if things to do). I'm not going to lie. I'm praying for a runway 4 arrival so I can just step out on my deck and snap a shot or 20.
Here is a video from today SP LRC Taxing and then take off from Warsaw to New York (LO6)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UGLGc...ature=youtu.be
It looks like "PENNY01" an Italy Air Force KC-767 is headed for JFK (I could be wrong though).

edit:Guess i was wrong, It was to good to be true :tongue:
Etithad 777 landong now jfk!!!
AWE725 from Dublin to Charlotte is diverting to ALB now, not sure what's up.
Not amazingly exciting, but month-old Emirates 380 A6-EEG is making its first Atlantic crossing today as EK201, which is the afternoon arrival.
Thats one of the "new" 380s with the longer range?
I think it's the one with the bigger forehead.

Not sure if some of the 380s have a longer range, but there are 2 configurations - one with 427 Y seats downstairs and then a ULR version with 399Y and a crew rest area. JFK gets the ULR version (A6-EDA through EDF, EDM through EDP, EDY/EDZ, and now EEF to EEH). If some of them have a longer range than others, it's not yet an operational consideration since even that early set operates to SYD, which is the longest 380 route currently in the network.Quote:
