Thanks, everyone!

I don't really have any "secrets" -- just went to the Remsen St. end of the Brooklyn Heights Promenade and snapped away. I have more pix on Flickr. The N414PD shot is full-size here.

Yup I was just about to say that. I did that YEARS ago with my video camera when Bush (Sr?) came in on a Saturday. I was
actually able to get on to one of the piers and shot away. They used CH-53s as support that day. Always had the feeling I was
being eyeballed from somewhere.

Usually, but having a MD-10 /A300 movement during the day isn't unheard of either...

Re: AF1 headed to town

I don't understand why they'd get upset....there are two taxiways there. I'm sure aircraft would be able to pass through still.
