Hey everyone. I'm a magazine journalist covering the spotting angle of the A380 arrival. I was out with Moose135 today getting the lay of the land, and I plan to be there tomorrow-- whichever spot that may be.
I'm sure I'll find some of you there, but PM me if you'd be willing to exchange cell numbers. See you in the morning!

Hi all,
just wondering if today's configuration of the three airports is usual and if we can expect a similar config tomorrow ?
EWR had RWY22L/R in use all day
JFK had RWY31R for landing, RWY31L for dep, then changed to 22 R/L and 31L (arr)
LGA had 31 takeoff, 22 landing, then changed to only RWY31 operation
so maybe RWY22 R/L in use for JFK tomorrow ?
I hope to see some of you in JFK !
greets
Tamon
I'm thinking of getting an early (maybe a REALLY early) start to the day tomorrow, and make it a full day of spotting. Obviously, this would mean I'd be away from my computer (and this forum) for a couple of hours before the "event". Is there anyone who lives nearby (or isn't going out until near the appointed hour) who'd be willing to take my cell phone number and give me a call if any important information gets posted beforehand?
Well folks I wish you all good spotting tomorrow. I will be unable to make it, as I am sick as a dog. I want to see some prime phots tomorrow posted here. Good luck and good weather. I was really looking forward to those clams afterwards. :x
I'm thinking the same about getting an early start on Monday. I'm thinking about Howard Beach early in the AM then heading to the 22 or 31 areas. I'll check the thread in the AM before I leave to see if anyone else is going to head that way. Should be a fun day tomorrow!
Im planning to meet up with Waggs at around 10am tmrw and than we are just going to head out to the airport. If you want to meet up at some point drop me a ring or PM me your cell and ill give you a call.Quote:

If anyone wants my cell#, PM me by 6:30AM tomorrow morning and I'll be happy to respond. Good luck to all spotting and have a great day tomorrow!
I'm going to leave Westchester between 7-7:30 tomorrow morning. I'm anticipating traffic over the Whitestone and again on the VW. I'd like to catch some departures from the beach area. Hopefully the weather will cooperate!
Okay folks -
Driving down from Rhode Island, will be on the road by 6am!
Hopefully will run into some of you (not literally!), during the day!

Me and Celmer and possibly Peel will be out by COsco meeting up at about 1130 and take it from there. 31's it is today!
l33t! Im so excited ill be out there at around 11!
BTW, it sounds like they are landing on the 22s right now :shock:
Edit again, I lied 31s :P :P
On the Clearance/Ground frequency, departures are switching to 22R, so looks like they're going to a 22 operation.
I'll be at the soccer field.
D
we're on the 22's.
Guys, for the 22s, I think North Woodmere will really be better. Just my suggestion though.
Matt, Cosco at 1045 ! See ya there I'm leaving now!
I have returned, Ill post some photos soon.
Hey guys !!!
I send you an A380 from Toulouse !!! I've seen it has landed yesterday ? ;) I hope you've enjoy it ! I can see everyday now and every day I enjoy seeing it in the sky !!! :p How is the weather in NY ?
I'm just thinking that I was in NY one year ago meeting great and cool people like... you :)
