SAS (Star Alliance scheme) Airbus A330 just departed EWR a little while ago
VP-CHK a 732 came in last night and The Google 762 is here.
A Coast Guard G5 arrived the morning as Coast Guard 101
Cathay Pacific 773 JFK diversion
A Saudi 747SP last night and then the 777 tonight
Air Berlin A330 subbed for the normal Lufthansa A340 from Dusseldorf due to an A340 out on MX.
IMO one of the top visitors of the year for EWR is due in around 2 am tonight, N727VJ.
Qatar is finally bringing in the A333 today instead of the A332.
Looks like it is operated by A7-AEB:Quote:

I was excited but at the same disappointed. I hoped for one of the special schemes and checked acars this morning just to be let down. Still have 2 more months to hope.Quote:

I believe I saw a BA 744 climb out of EWR tonight.. Probably subbing for the B777 flight

Thanks Bill, it's amazing how small the DHC-8-200's look once you get used to the 400's.
Allegiant MD87 (N948MA) just landed and pulled into the USAirways gates. Virgin America A320, N631VA sitting over at the Terminal A hardstand.
AJ
Just noticed that the Virgin America A320 has a "DirectAir" sticker...... new?

Saudi 747SP was back again as was McCains 737, after he waited out a 90 min ground stop in PHL of course.
One of the regular Qatar A330-200 visitors to EWR, A7-ACA, is now painted in new colors and was spotted by Mat Sokol at the airport over the weekend.

So why are all the Arabs here all of a sudden?
Are we going to become the United States of Arabia now???
Seriously--no joke intended--why such a convergence of Middle East leaders now?
I got curious, too, and did some research...apparently the Saudis are sponsoring a meeting of world leaders at the UN starting tomorrow about religious tolerance (LOL!), where King Abdullah is set to give a speech. It seems President Bush will be sticking around for the meeting, along with the leaders of Israel, Jordan, Bahrain, Lebanon, Kuwait, the Philippines and Finland.Quote:

Donald Trumps 727 came into EWR around 2-2:30, it parked over by the former UAL hangar. A signature aviation van picked someone up from a helicopter that landed at the same time as the Trump 727 and dropped them off at the 727.

Also of note today, the CO Connection Q-400s were getting good use out of runway 11. Steady stream of Q-400s landing on runway 11 while I was there.

Every time I have been at EWR since the Q400 invaison I always see them mixed in with the larger aircraft on the 4's or 22's. I was always surprised they where not using 11-29, njgtr82 any reason?

Hi Ron, well with runway 11 ops its based upon the arrival fix as to who uses that runway. When we're on the 4's, we'll take 757's and smaller if we have the winds to land runway 4R and hold short of 11. Usually its arrivals from the north and west that are canidates. On the 22 flow its 737s and smaller for the most part and are arrivals from the south and southwest. the only time we'll take the props only to 11 is if the tail wind is in excess of 10 knots because they can take a stronger tailwind then the jets. Also these Q400's perform very well IMO and have no problem performing as well as these jets in the terminal enviroment. The smaller DH-8/B's though that recently started here are horrible. I give more room behind one of them departing then I do a heavy jet and they're slow on final as well. So I do prefer them to 11 though. As far as 29 goes, we'll use that to circle from 22L when the winds dictate and havn't used the overhead 29 when on the 4's too much lately. It's been the ILS 4R and Visual to 4L instead. Also with the dispersal headings on the 22's the tracon doesn't let us depart 29 with them and on the 4's 29 departures do not work because of the TEB ILS 6 approach. I hope this helps.Quote:
