Finnair is operating AY5 with an A340 today. http://fr24.com/FIN5 ETA 4:41pm
Flightaware says the A343 is coming in for the next few days, and we very may well see the marimekko special at some point
JAL flight JL6 today is a special - JA740J, she is due in around 10am give or take.
Alitalia "Expo" EI-EJM just left FCO, eta @ JFK ~ 7:20pm
JA740J no longer has the stickers. They must have been recently removed.
TAME is very late today (ETA 4:45pm) and is operating an A319 instead of the usual A330.
Here's the Condor, unfortunately no good shot of the TAME

If you value your camera and lens, I'd recommend NOT spotting the new China Eastern 777s. :tongue:
Their new livery is hideous. Absolutely hideous. a step backwards, even by the low standards of Chinese airlines. Specials can't come soon enough.
My camera and lens is just fine....but then again, I use quality equipment. ;)

Very nice John. Great Light. Something different. I like it.
Great shot John. She's a beauty. It's amazing how good stuff can look when you take pride in your work and take quality pics.
No insurance needed here either! Looks good in person and I totally concur with Steve .... If one takes pride in his work (exposure, composition, quality, sharpness, etc.), the aircraft (or image of whatever you are taking) makes it more appealing and beautiful. When I look at my past spotting images I was very relucant to post poor quality images. After spotting with others and learning from them, my images have improved substantially. Thanks for all your help gents!!! Here is the China Eastern departure in some beautiful late afternoon light!.

Great shots of the China Eastern gents! I really like the new look, a nice change ..
Ben, with all respect to you...you might want to complain about Japan Airlines, Air France, Swiss...China Eastern looks way better than airlines I've mentioned:

Arriving momentarily, according to the trackers, is something called Primera Air Scandinavia, with 738 OY-PSC. Appears to have come out of Keflavik. Shopping charter? Missed the announcement on a new low-cost service?
Mark got it. Image to follow soon.
A surprise seeing this on short finally for RWY 22R, while I was waiting on China Eastern.

It appears that there is a TAME A319 inbound this afternoon arriving around 2:45pm.
Tomorrow morning's Alaska flight 17 departure from Newark is N560AS, Spirit of the Islands.
Not exactly a once-off, but still somewhat rare - Transaero is inbound today with a 763. 31s today, so you should be able to grab the Cyrillic side from Panera.
ETA in about 20min....It has to come in a Wx like today

She has been here a bunch of times. Unfortunately, the bad weather doesn't help.
Not that often...and problem is that you need to get both sides of airplane - chinese & english sides of sticker...and time running out...:( :( Anniversary stickers don't stay for that long...
My friend just told me he saw a C-17 on final for 22L? OBAMA??
Does that mean we can catch the 757 depart on saturday?
EDIT- WX looks horrid.
VP-BPZ on it's way to LGA, came here and departed twice after dark:frown: http://flightaware.com/live/flight/V...100Z/KSAT/KLGA
Just a heads up for JFK. Aeromexico restarted its daily MTY-JFK service with the E190. Flight arrives at 2pm and leaves at 3.
