I'll be out towards the end of the day Saturday after I get out of work, and most of the day on Sunday.
Anyone know if/when the VC-25A will be at SWF?
I just heard that two French Falcon tri-jets are parked at FRG near Sheltair, parked along the fence.
Looks like Kuwait is bringing their 744.

Air Zimbabwe Z-WPE 767-200 just arived on 13 L parked over at the triple hangers 12:15PM
Picture later
A couple of sightings - one from Canada.. M53-01 Malaysian AF 737 c/s RMF444 noted at 1228L over Montreal (thanks to Volker).. One from the UK YI-APX Iraqi Govt A300 over Manchester approx 1630L/1130EDT . Should be in the NYC area about 1930L tonight..
Will be hunting them on Monday!!
Geoff:cool:
Oh crap, they are already rollong in!? Looks like I am going to have to come back to NY tomorrow night than so I dont miss too much. When did Iraq pick up an A300? Is it a 600 or a 200?
Some UN VIP arrivals into JFK today:
Kuwait 747-400
Vietnam Airlines B777-200
Republic of Malawai F900
Greek Gov't Gulfstream V
Stopped by SWF today, no new movements as of 1500L today. Caught the Moroccan Entourage and Kuwait A310 on the Back Ramp; on the closer end was parked Kuwait & Turkish Gov't A319cj's. As markg put it, the two C130's are very close to the Richmor / PANY buildings; couldn't get the Reg. on the RAM B738 - tucked way in between the A310 and RAM744. Gordon, if you get any privileges this week try and get it!
Didn't take many shots, but here are some so-so's

V gotta love the different cowlings

Lets hope these birds didn't get scared off by a little KSWF construction.
Nice. What is the reg on the RAM 744?
Chinese VIP 744...

Spain Air Force A310 late in the afternoon as well.
The RAM 744 is CN-RGA. Used to be an almost daily visitor to JFK before they converted the route to 767s Geoff
As I posted in the FRG thread, there are a pair of French Air Force Falcon 7X's parked over at Sheltair:

We had about a dozen people out at the Mounds this afternoon, but most of the action went to 13L. :frown: The only VIP I saw at JFK was at Bayswater when the Vietnam Airlines 777 departed:

I was there at the mounds then decided to relocate for some 13L arrivals. This is what I caught so far. I'm hoping for a better day tomorrow. Iran Air came in late and the lighting was poor (thus the poor image quality).

Where's the best place for 13L arrivals?
I can't believe I missed the Spanish A310 and especially the SP- I went straight from the mounds back over to the 13L approaches! Like at 70mph. Then I sat there for over two hours and all I saw was the Royal 737- when did the other two come in???:frown:
The Spanish Air Force came in around 5ish and the SP came in around 7.
There was an Air Zimbabwe B767 this morning as well

Isnt that the Turkish jet that usually parks at FRG during UN week?
Yes it is - I was wondering where it was when I saw it wasn't at FRG this morning.Quote:

Darn EIA baing late with their flights. I missed all of this activity due to sleep for graveyard shifts.:frown: Anything slated for tonight?
Belgian Air Force A310 set to arrive 8PM at JFK.

Guys,
No photos or details of RAAF :- Royal Australian Airforce's B737-7DT (BBJ) with our 'new' globetrotting ex: PM now Foreign Affairs Minister Kevin Rudd ?? he met with Hillary & Barrack over this past weekend.
Cheers Hiflyer
Good to see so many people out today - looked like we had more than two dozen folks at the Mounds (and no music!) We didn't get a boatload of VIPs, but did manage to catch a few:
Turkmenistan 763

That was a blast getting to meet everyone, I look forward to the next event. I'd be sticking around if I didn't have to leave town tomorrow.
Nice shots Moose
The two highlights of the day:
Rest can be viewed here.

Fantastic group photo! Here are my photo's. I couldn't do much with the Royal Jordanian/Comlux since I was on the move and shooting through the car window. Also, I caught the IL-96, but the lighting was very poor and I had to pump up the ISO and then clean up the noise. I guess it's better to have some captures better then none even if the image quality is poor. (I was the guy with the Pan Am t-shirt)

Wow, Mark, what time did the Russian one come in?
Some really nice shots, guys. Wish I could have gotten that Amiri A340-500!
Chris, President Obama is due to address the GA on Wednesday so I imagine that's when AF1 will be at SWF.
The TFR over NYC is in effect on Wednesday from 1430L to 1700L.Quote:

In previous years they've kept one at JFK and the alternative aircraft will go to SWF.Quote:

Business is picking up...just had the Gainjet 752 SX-RFA arrive, as well as the Global Jet Luxembourg A318 LX-GJC. Also had a Dornier 328 come in, N429FJ. Don't know if it is UN related or not.
In other news, Virgin new colors and LAN One World just arrived as well. Photos to follow.
The Russian Ilyushian came in about 6:45pm, and the lighting conditions were terrible. I tried to clean up the image as best as I could given the circumstances.
The best part was listening to the tower, and the next aircraft in the sequence was checking-in with the tower. The tower tells the pilot to follow the Ilyushian..........and the pilots response was......"follow the what!!!!" I guess the guy didn't have a clue what the heck that was..........kind of funny I thought.
Does anyone know if the Ilyushian is still parked at JFK or did they move elsewhere???
Nice shirt man!Quote:
