As for parking, in past years, we've parked near Planeview Park and walked over.
But there is a parking lot near the MAT for Hangar 7 that they usually let you park in for free. There should be many signs around theref ro the event to direct you.
The event starts at 12:00, so just walk on in. I will probably be wearing a collared shirt and my known dark blue Polo hat. Many of us should be easy to spot.
Guys, Girl(s) (are there multiple?), have fun!
i am not going. i will go to poland because my grandfather died today.
Very sorry to hear. Condolences to your family. Looking forward to seeing you next time.
thank you
Loads on DL are getting tighter by the day but it still looks do-able for Saturday. Pending all goes to plan, I'll be arriving LGA at 10:12am. What time do the gates open again? I'll probably just head over to the main terminal and grab a bite to eat until the thing starts. Then head over to the Marine Air Terminal I suppose.

It opens to the public at 12 Jason, looking forward to seeing you!
Yes, Tony, I'm sure "Jason" is looking forward to meeting you too!Quote:

GBOAD, sorry to hear about that. My condolences as well.
have a good time everyone. I'll probably meet up for hte post party ;)
Any word on what equipment the airlines are rolling out? Since Delta no longer runs 733's on Shuttle, I'm curious what else they're gonna show this year.
I'm sure AA will bring out a mad dog. Maybe DL will do the same. I'm hoping for something like a 738. I've yet to step foot on a DL 738.Quote:

Would suck if Delta put out a Mad Dog, too. Maybe they can spare an E170 for a few hours, that'd be nice.Quote:

I was about to say the same thing, Brian. Phil mentioned that the Star Alliance confused a lot of people.
Would be AWESOME if US brought a new colors 737! Doubtful though.
I have heard that the odds are in favor of US having a new colors A319.
My personal wish list involves DL bringing Pink Delta, AA bringing the 738 Retrojet, and US bringing the real America West retrojet! :) (OK...back to reality now...)
AFAIK, the new color 737s are all US West and thus won't be out in our neck of the woods.Quote:

I would tail out of this office at 1500 and burn rubber to see that.
I have heard the same about US737's, that they are all US West. It would be nice to see a US East A319, as I've only been on a few US West's in the new colors. I would LOVE to see an E-170, I've been dying to check out the new jungle jets!
US doesn't bring in E-jets to LGA anymore.
As for a heritage scheme, it's unlikely, as last year we had a Star Alliance, and non-airline folks didn't know what it was a US Airways plane.
I mentioned how cool it would be if they brought the Retrojet.Quote:

I think the reference may have been to the Delta E-170s, which Brian had mentioned earlier in the thread.Quote:

Hope to see you all there. :)
I'm sure you will, since events like this tend to bring everyone out of the woodwork.Quote:

Is anyone going to carry out some spotting activities before the main event starts, or is everyone heading straight there?
See you all tomorrow!
I plan on being at LGA all day tomorrow, starting sometime in the morning.
I'm suppose to get in at 10am and would love to kill those two hours with some spotting but don't have the means to get around. Oh well. I guess I'll just have to wait patiently in the terminal until it starts at noon.

If 4/22 is in use can you get an ok view of the runway from the tarmac at the Marine Air Terminal?
For now it appears LGA is up and down 4 with 13-31 closed, very nice !
LGA777
Ugggg!
Just got word Airport Day,the same type of show is at EWR, right now!
Have fun all, thats where I'll be.
I'm sure there would be volunteers to screen Melly. :PQuote:

For anyone whose interested I just gave EWR a call and the event has like face painting and food and kid's pool and stuff but apparently you drive to P4 and they bus you over to Building 1 wherever that is.
was the EWR day last minute or a first time thing? I'd love to see EWR up close.
The NJ chapter of hte site has to keep us better informed! ;)
Hey bud, I JUST got the word when I posted it.
Keep in mind 99.999999% of all airport personnel are board to death over airplanes, and overall don't give a damn about them.
The date of the show is not public info, and my friend there said this year he did not see a poster about it (not like he is putting in any great effort looking for it either)
