Who knows? It's only for this week, but it was planned a month ago. I guess they leased this one instead of calling up Euroatlantic or Pullmantur like most other European airlines do. Surprised that LOT was able to let it go - I thought the rumor was that they were pretty tight on capacity.Quote:

How it's done in this case? 787 takes about 1.5-2 flight to Helsinki and after 9hr flight to JFK? and LOT 787 back to Helsinki?
Nope, both SP-LRC and SP-LRD came in today, back to back.Quote:

Thanks a lot for an explanation...
Here is a video of SP LRD's take off from Helsinki http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Vwdfi3btWU
That is a very nice video... do you mind if I embed it?

There's a Volga-dnepr Ilyushin Il-76 en-route to PHL right now scheduled to arrive about ten minutes after sunset...
Strange, this morning I've checked on flightaware and it said that today - 12/28, HEL-JFK is on A330.
This afternoon I went to Costco parking lot and I got picture of SP-LRD:

At Costo's today came 2 guys who told the same - they saw flightaware - Finnair coming in today on A330.
Looks like you can not depend that much on flightaware: http://flightaware.com/live/flight/SPLRD
For recurring commercial flights, Flightaware works on canned flightplans and should not be trusted to accurately report aircraft type. For other information, it's generally pretty good.Quote:

They may have actually started to peel off those stickers DURING the damn event.Quote:

Jarek, thanks for that... see what I mean? Get em while you can, never mind the weather or work or whatever may get in the way LOL. That is, if you're a collector of specials like I am.
Well, better to have something-even if pic not that good, than nothing...Just wonder, are stickers on both sides? If both, hopefully, it would arrive on 22L or better on 31R.
Inbound to JFK... Transaero 747 Handprint. This guy always comes on the worst day possible.
Here you can see LOT's 787 SP LRB (special livery) take off from WAW to JFK https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?f...type=1&theater
Terrible weather today, so it goes without saying that the Transaero today is EI-XLK, the handprint one.
Yep both sides .Quote:

It will stay for about 6 monthsQuote:

No problem Jason. Here is my rubbish of a photograph. Better than nothing I'm afraid!
Nice shots guys. I was on Rockaway TPK as it flew right over my head.
N700UW, the first US Airways A319 to get new AA colors, is scheduled into LGA on Thursday morning. It's flying back to CLT from the paint shop in Roswell overnight, and should be on Flight 2060 arriving at LGA at about 7:45am, departing back to CLT as Flight 2071 at 9:10am. It's the first of the four Star Alliance birds to be repainted.
I'm afraid, one day I can get into accident when airplanes fly over my head while I'm driving...Quote:
