SGB 6402 "Sky King 6402" is a Boeing 737-400 that has just taken off from Havana, Cuba enroute to KJFK.....possibly not UN related. He is overhead Marathon Key Florida now at 10:15 Eastern Time. Arrival into JFK is planned for 12:30(ish) Eastern Time. Could be N916SK???
That's it for now....

Jeff. He is our regular Sunday Cuban charter :cool: Did anything good come in today?
Manny - ahh haa. Thanks for that! I did not see anything filed into JFK / HPN or SWF today of note......most will come in "invisible" to flight trackers though, so no telling what came in today, really!
Wishing I was out east!!!
Democratic Republic of Congo 707. Oh sorry, typo....just Air Zimbabwe 763 and the Emirates special scheme A380.Quote:

Sorry I don't have more exotic movements to share boys & girls.
Follow on to last post - 3 now, have suddenly appeared on FlightExplorer. 1.) For those that want to venture over to Newark.....just now up on FlightExplorer is ARAMCO B767-200, N767A is due into EWR at 1500ish. (I often don't trust ETAs on FlightExplorer when they are over the North Atlantic). N767A, for those that haven't seen it, is a nice color scheme with a blue tail and palm tree motif. Is this even, possibly UN related? Sorry - new to this "UN stuff" and also what you folk's see week in/week out! 2.) JAS066 is over North Atlantic - A Global Express due into SWF at 13:10 - not quite sure who exactly "JAS" is. and 3.) RJA500 from Shannon into JFK - due in at 12:10, an Airbus A318CJ.
Jordanian should have been VQBDD. I also see 318CJ A6-AJC inbound. JAS is a bizjet callsign, nonmilitary.
Glad I got 767A at JFK few years back when she did a pop in I think in Jan! That is a sexy 767.
A few from today.
Brasil - Missed the arrival, only got the departure

John - that SA reg must be a charter for another country - it's owned by a company called PL Logistics - it's a great catch - pity about the clouds!!
Mark, the call sign was "South Africa 1"Quote:

I will not be coming out east now, as previously hoped, on TUES......other commitments have arisen on my days off. DOH!! Hope you all enjoy yourself spotting out there. I will continue to monitor movements and post as necessary.
MAF01 - Mexican Air Force B757 due into Newark at about 2PM
MEA001 - Middle East Airlines A330-200 - due into JFK at 430PM
SLM3004 - the Suriname has left SWF for MIA.
As I was leaving kids day Sat. there were "people" in black suits with ear pieces, looked like they were waiting for a flight
5:15 p.m. Obama and the First Lady arrive New York City, N.Y. - I guess I'm heading to 31L viewing? This is best for Bayswater, right?
Here he comes again, any idea where he'll be landing with M1 ? JRB or JRA will just about be leaving my office can get down there to get few pix.
Always Wall Street!!Quote:

French Air Force Falcon F-RAFP landed at FRG this afternoon. Went to Sheltair.
The Main Terminal at FRG had a number of Homeland Security officers, blue shirted TSA and a SCPD ESU and K-9 unit there.
thanksQuote:

Got lucky and got this one....
Not sure about the TFR but must have something to do with UN Week. What I (think I)do know is that Morristown, Westchester and Republic Airports are being used a "gateway" airportsQuote:

Feel free to correct or edit this info. :smile::tongue:
Well LGA got in on the UN action this evening when an all white 767-200 departed. Could not make out the call sine, something 001 Heavy, could not make out the complete reg but def started in ZS (South Africa) so I believe this is the aircraft pictured below.

If anyone wants to play detect listen to liveatc.net around 1835L this evening departed right after AA 2611, was blocked on flightaware & Passur.
Should be ZS-DJI of the Djibouti Government:Quote:

Just returned home here to South Jersey. We sat first in that park in Inwood to watch the 4 arrivals, then had lunch at the Sherwood, then sat by one of the cargo areas for 13L arrivals from about 2-3:45 then sped over to the mounds for a few minutes, but got nothing special. Totally opposite of last year's experience, very frustrating. At least I managed to catch the 11am Sun Country flight back to MSP that my brother and niece were on, and a Transaero which I've not photographed before.
Guess I'll have to wait another year before the next chance of catching an Il-62M
Enjoy the rest of the week guys
Maybe no titles on the right side as that's all I saw but that's make sense as the Djibouti Gov 727-100 used LGA either last year or year before so maybe they like it here. Thanks !Quote:

Russian IL-96, first good shots I've gotten of one - a year or two ago, we were over at Bayswater when he went off on 31L, and I got a distant, heat-hazed shot...today was much better.

Qatar Amiri Flight A345 (they also had an A330 arrive this afternoon)
http://www.moose135photography.com/A...7-HHH001-L.jpg
An MEA A330 came in as well - I had just left The Mounds to catch Air Force 1 at Bayswater, and I saw it fly over my head as I was turning onto Brookville Blvd. I'm sure the guys still at The Mounds caught it.
Air Force 1 arriving.

After a short stay, they departed (for SWF, I believe) Without POTUS on board, they didn't take a priority departure, instead joining the line to go off 22R (and back-lit shots from Bayswater. :frown:)

While waiting for the VC-25 to depart, we had this German Air Force A340 arrive.

They can only spread the TSA so thin? Not sure why it is, but that was the official word from the TSA.Quote:
