We won't know location until we know what runways they're using that morning. :(Quote:

@Kenny - I am confirmed. I will be there before the sun rises. Afterall, that's how I roll!
@Phil - Right now the winds are forecast to be out of the west all day so I'm guessing it'll start out as the typical 31s. Seeing this, I am planning on doing HoBe departures in the morning since the light isn't all that great for arrival before mid morning on the 31s. Of course depending on the runways, and final forecast sunday morning, my plans will change accordingly.
Steve, I'll call you guys when I head out. This should be rad!
It is likely that Jeremy and I will get out there mid to late morning and hang.
This will be one epic spotting trip for sure! Can't wait to see you get excited when the flying forehead lands and you see planes with winglets!Quote:

Another Kennypalooza? Hmmm.
I was hoping to try to come down from upstate to join u guys, looks like its a no go for me.. enjoy the day tomorrow, kick ass!!
Winds out of the west tonight and tomorrow morning. So either 31 or 22 should be in effect. Bigger issues is cloud cover. Decks coming down again tonight forecasted 10000' at 5am. Chance of rain after noon.
Yeah, if the forecast doesn't improve or if it gets worse, I'm going to be a no go for tomorrow. Don't really feel like burning $100 worth of gas for cloudy, badly lit pictures. I'll figure it all out later.
IDGAF I will be there.
Nick, it's Jeremypalooza tomorrow!
Looking forward to finally meeting a lot of you, unfortunately it'll be a pretty short stay - I have a 1330 flight back.
LOL for an hour? Looks like the sun will be in and out tomorrow I was planning to shoot JFK Monday anyway. Looks better but if the sun is out in the PM may take a ride.Quote:

On second thought, unless there is a threat of rain, im still coming. Even if the light sucks i can still enjoy an awesome day with good friends and finally put some faces to some names.
Cheap Tolls and Northeast = OxymoronQuote:

Guess I'll check in again near the queens line. Cross bay?
Mario, currently we're atop the t5 parking lot.
Is anyone still at the terminals? I will be heading out with Dennis soon.
Great meeting everyone today

Nice variety of photos. I wish I had joined you and the others today for some spotting (sans camera for me). Anytime you all plan on having a gathering like this please continue to post it on NYC Aviation. How many spotters showed up during the day?
David

In the process of off-loading my memory card (hope to post a few images).
Great seeing everyone today. One shot from me today.

Jeremy, great meeting you today. Nice to see such a good crowd out, even on a crappy kind of day. Made the best of what we had though.
Here are a few from me:

Nice shots everyone - even if the weather was crappy!
Poor Weather + Great Group of Friends ++ Jeremy ++++ Phil! == Terrific Day in my book. I guess Moose was the one regular local who was missing. Even William made an appearance at Bayswater :-) and Nick was also MIA... had the weather been sunny and clear, it could have been even more epic :)
Moose was out, you just missed him.Quote:

Nice stuff guys!
I second Manny - I may not have gotten that much stuff but it was so good to put faces to names and meet folks finally.
If you see this man lock him in a terminal bathroom immediately.Quote:

I would have got out early but when I got up and saw that sky I bagged it. I needed to get a ton of work done for meetings Tues and Thur and still be able to get to FRG for the Fighter departure late afternoon. Then to make it worse I got a heads up Illinois One was inbound. I figured with that crappy sky I would roll the dice with the sun coming out with a commercial special I need instead of military. Well Whitebird had the last laugh. I am going to send him evil texts all day tomorrow. Here she is nice and dark. Epic fail. Oh well it's a long year I am sure we will get more chances.Quote:

Stuck in LA...shame...thinking you guys while I was there...
This one's for Kenny, who I learned has a passion for the A380, and for Mike - I think I found the Uzbek...
