15:10 ETA is great, i really want to see the Emirates.
I am going to JFK today b/c i am in my dads office and today is just great plan. Its sunny and the sky is blue. What more could you ask for, x-ept (my new slang words) to change the runway cofig. (and OK, i looked out the window and its not striking blue but this kind of not so blue blue, but its still nice. and and the window is dirty)
I am heading out now, don't exactly know where. Hope to see some of you out there.
Eric
I want to see some kind of a report fellas' . Have fun!
Why can't someone go to the mounds? Just because you feel it is not a great spotting location doesn't mean everyone else does. If they are using 22L late in the day and the sun is good it is still a good location to shoot. Wear long pants and check yourself thoroughly when you leave. In the middle of summer you risk picking up ticks on the back nine here, doesn't mean everyone just stops playing golf.Quote:

Well I went out to the Mounds today and got there around 12:20 or so (I had just missed Korean and LH 747). The haze was a bit bad but it got better. It seemed most of the incoming activity was on 13L, but the Mounds got a nice treat including:
-Atlas 747
-UAL 777 OC and 777 NC
-Eos 757
-Austrian 767 Star Alliance
-2 Eurofly A330s
-Air China 747F
-And lastly, a USAF C-5
And even better? No ticks. Not a single one.

Glad the mounds worked out for you! I would just recommend checking a little bit later,and checking the inside of the clothing you take off as well just to play it safe.
Really nice collectionn of stuff you got there, man! Glad you grabbed 'em.
I stopped at Planeview Park for a short while, minus the reporter.
Chris Haack was there, with his father, and Eric Dunetz, too. We met emshighway, and also a spotter who showed up who didn't know about the site! I hope he joins soon.
It was a little hazy out there today, but was nice to watch 22 departures and hang out with the guys for a bit.
well, Gordon and i went to cargo plaza today and we saw:
Emirates A340
KLM 777
Iberia A340
FedEx MD-11
Finnair MD-11
and more.
i just got home so i will post pics in a few moments

today at laguardia was good. And it was good to see Phil and Melanie again :) and nice meeting you Stuart. nothing really fancy to report about today except the new benches(check phils post on that, lol)
Sweet shots, I see that Gdansk popped in today (LOT 763). AY's Moomins, IB A346 and the EK A345... I mean what a great day out.
Nice shots there Matt!
The day turned out pretty good actually. Despite the pain of watching most of the heavies land on 22L over 13L it was still nice. After about 4:00 the haze lifted some and the light was just great. Caught the Harmony 757-200 and Mexicana which are new birds for me and of course Ms. Winglets herself showed up which was great.
There was a little while where I wanted to jet over to that park but by the time I was thinking about it most of the good heavies had already landed.
I'm editing my photos at the moment and will post them soon.
Glad you went there after the negative publicity about the spot. I would think the C5 would have made it worth it. Did the shot come out good? Sounds like you got there early for that spot with the sun still pretty high but post some shots.Quote:
