Try to view the China Eastern A346 in a very colorful Shanghai Expo 2010 livery. It says "Better City, Better Life". Reg. B-6055. It visited JFK last Friday Aug. 6 but the aircraft are rotated. At least when the ANA "Pokemon" B744 used to come to JFK, it was posted in advance on their website. Good luck!
Hi all - long time no post.
I was up on the roof of my apartment trying out Tethered Shooting on Lightroom and the Etihad Grand Prix A346 flew over. I believe it was ETD101, so she should be on the ground by now.

Just a heads up.
Nice catch Conor! Glad to see you back. Hope all is well.
C-17 still at the triple hangers as of 7PM 9/8/10
Went to Brighton Beach to bid farewell to summer yesterday and get some sun. Saw some great aircraft. Sadly, my crappy point-and-shoot camera was of little help but I noticed some unusual arrivals. There were 2 CCA B744's arriving past the beach. I thought I was hallucinating. Their regular flight arrived but there was a flight, CCA30 from KADW around 1424 as well. Then, I noticed several European inbounds. I checked on Passur and noticed that Rwy 22L was closed intermittently I guess due to VIP aircraft. I was surprised to see a Swiss A333, as well as the BAW A318. Both are rarely seen using Rwy 13L. When 22L finally re-opened I missed KLM, the AirFrance A388. Even by car with all the traffic, it's impossible to drive out from Brighton to the Mounds in time. You can't be in 2 places at the same time.It was a delightful day and so is the prediction for Saturday. Regards to my fellow spotters; especially those who always post such great photos. This site is the reason I bought a laptop. Phil does such a wonderful job!
Yes, my post acknowledged that they no longer fly the QFA into JFK anymore. Hoping, they might paint a "Wunala-type" scheme on their A3456 but I guess not. I did see the "One World" scheme recently. I fear Qantas will stop all service to JFK by next year and use a code-share with AAL. Qantas left JFK for decades in the past. I had to fly out to LAX to see their aircraft. A good excuse to travel; I love LAX.
Ethiad Formula One currently on the ground at T4
Where is the best spot to catch a glimpse of this rare bird?
Unfortunately, she departed back to Abu Dhabi at 11PM last night.Quote:

Etihad Formula 1 inbound to JFK again today. ETA 1415.
EgyptAir B777-300ER came into JFK this past Saturday and today as well.
Egyptair have now upgraded the JFK flight to a B777-300 permanently
Air Force One just landed at JFK
Etihad F1 came in yesterday afternoon which was a total surprise. Is it only a special flight or is it in the rotation for the regular flights to NY?
The slowpoke in front of me took his sweet time making the left turn into Costco, or I would have gotten a great side-on of F1 yesterday. So I took the shot through my windshield and got a mediocre shot.
Probably someone who didn't even need the 40-roll pack of toilet paper they were going to buy.:mad:
Classic Costco move... you should have met us at Panera... it was wide open, no traffic :-0 I will post mine later tonight if I ever get a chance on the computer.
The Atlas 744 painted in Emirates Cargo colors was here last night. She landed on 4 Left and for a moment before I remembered the ACMI I flet like I was in a weird twilight zone where EK had 744's. Suprisingly, I did not see our faithful JFK reporter on some form of an airport vehicle racing along a perimiter road taking pictures. :cool:
Nice! Is it still there? I was coming out for the A380 which is inbound... but of course it is POURING outside :-(
The reporter isnt in on Mon and Tues. But the report now is N22MS is on the ground at JFK. EIA corp Leer. ETD is unknown. Were looking for $$ for more -400.
TAM Star Alliance A332 was parked at a hardstand today.
Not sure if anyone cares but Sun Country 737 landing at JFK now. Departs back to Minneapolis at around 11:00am
Thought that is a daily visitor?Quote:

There was a Saudi 747SP yesterday at JFK and according to a thread on Airliners an all-white A340. The A340 was most likely the Qatar Amiri A340-300 A7-AAH, it flew from DOH-MUC yesterday.
Probably the King, in town for back surgery.Quote:

Wow, nice boid! Where was it stashed? I did not see it on my "rounds" LOL
I saw this pop-up on ACARS; Air Baltic; Reg ID: HZ-WBT7. Couldn't locate anything regarding arrival or departure times, etc.
I think that's the plane above :-)

Its at EWR now, comes in about 4-5 times a year.
United Express E170 operated by Shuttle America inbound according to FlightAware.
Also, two EgyptAir 773 due in, one the usual flight from Cairo, and one from Vienna.
I think I got the ERJ

I saw it inbound far away and assumed it was nothing much, was actually busy on a conference call and when it touched down, I ran out of the car but was late to catch the smoke! It was on the ground for maybe 30 minutes and turned right around and left.
-WBT7 still at EWR? Any indication as to when it's leaving?
Where is it? If you give me an idea of where it is parked, perhaps mark or Woz can tell us if it is shootable :tongue:Quote:

EIA Supertanker N479EV will be doing a fuel n go at JFK this morning. ETA is 0500 and ETD is 0700. I will be updating as the day goes.
Edit: As of 0359 N479EV was on the ground.
I hope she is late leaving ;-) Don;t think I'll make it for 7am
Nope. She looks to be off blocks on time. Hurry hurry.Quote:
