JFK March 2 (lots of photos!)

AWESOME photos everybody!
Seeing these makes me wanna head out there soon to do some spotting.

Barry, you may be onto something with this prime thing...I'm gonna have to find a 400 f/5.6 or a 300 f/4 IS to rent one of these weekends :)

I will be happy with what I got.

Kenny's trying to keep his cool LOL

I thought the light at Hobe would be dead in the afternoon, guess I was wrong...Great shots Barry!

Thanks for the compliments.

Kenny, that what I was thinking when I saw the Abercrombie & Kent bird posted. Saw it land but.....
I thought I went unscathed by staying at HoBe especially when the Virgin jet was an A340 instead of the 744.
BTW, I used the little helper (1.4x extender) on the 400mm for the Air India 777 and Lufthansa A340. The light was already toast for the bank over the bridges. I was praying that I had them in focus.

Also, the Atlas Air 742 that landed on 31L was missing a HUGE amount of paint on the left side just aft of the wing. At first it looked a special scheme until it turned off the runway. :shock:

Adam, both lenses are extremely sharp. Enjoy !

Yeah, I would have been pretty bent iffin I missed that A&K bird, but you did pretty damn good over there. I might have to make an afternoon trip to HoBe soon!

How often does that A&K (shouldn't it be A&F ?) plane come by NY?
Weekend type deal or once in a blue moon?

Twas the first time I've seen her. She operates luxury charters for Icelandair, so who knows.

Was definitely a charter flight so it depends on when they have another. The regular evening arrival from KEF also operated on the 2nd.
