It was great weekend to spend spotting and share stories. I'll post a quick one before heading to work.
First time for "spotting" AF1 :smile:

So where did VC-25 go after JFK? It seems she is at Westover AFB :-)

Great......no, awesome shots to all. Wishing, again, that I was out east this week. Ahhh well, maybe later this year.
Air Force 1 comes to Chicago later this week. There has been a C-17 adjacent to our hangar for 2 days now. Keep the nice pictures flowing.
My first Il-96... WOW!

I think we saw it. Saw the plane right overhead but markings were tough to catch.
The Qatar A340 arrived at 3:58PM...Quote:

I don't remember seeing it before, Matt. Last year, they brought an A310.
I suggested an eye exam for the officer who pulled me over today.
(and why not? After all, we are all about public safety.)
Had a problem with the PC so I'm sorry for the late posting. It was great to meet Manny, Mark, Tom, and Eric and see Cary, Moose, and Jacob. An exciting day for sure.

Thanks for going out and getting these guys!
I love this thread every year!
That Luftwaffe A340 looks amazing! We had the A310 here in Ottawa last time Merkel came in, I'd trade my right nut for the 340!
Tuesday:
Bahrain (747-4 I am guessing)
Peru 737 (different colors than previous years)
South Korea 747-4 (new)
Argentina 757
Kazakstan (sp?) A330 (1st year here I believe)
France A330 (new)
Not to mention overcast and rain...:frown:Quote:

Has anyone made it out to see what's parked at SWF? Flightaware lists a few:
both the Kuwaiti A310 & A319
France GLEX
the MEA A330
two VIP A319's
misc G4's/G5's
helicopter movement from 30th Street
Will be stopping by later Wednesday afternoon to check and see what birds are posted up in the 'Burgh B-)
Not yet... planned on doing it yesterday but with the clouds, I said bah... maybe a long shot for today... otherwise, it will have to wait until next year.
Guys, What a bunch of killer shots.... You all did a great job lensing all the UN metal....

Not 100% positive, but I believe I saw that AJA Airbus ACJ at White Plains yesterday. Seems like HPN had about 3 or 4 Airbus ACJ's parked around the field, but with the rain, and my vantage point, I could not see registrations.
I just landed at JFK and noted the new Brazilian E-190 heading to 4L for departure. The Qatar-Amiri fleet is also parked around the cargo area and an El Al 762 at the T4 hardstands.
didnt do any intended spotting, other than from my parents front yard on Monday.
This evening, Air Force One provided a nice deep bank over my house, headed to JFK about an hour ago.
Nothing feels better than flipping some steaks and chicken on the grill, sipping a bottle of suds and seeing her swoop over yer house ;)
Thats right its Wed already :confused::smile: He was set to leave between 8 and 9.Quote:

Pres must have been on the move as they made their way slowly uptown. Took a walk over to the Regency Hotel Park/61st to check out all the security. East 61st closed to vehicles and you can walk on the south side of the street and check out all the security as they use it as a staging point for Secret Service/NYPD/Homeland security you name it. I love checking all these guys out. :cool:
Sounds like Marine One is grounded due to WX. POTUS moving to JFK via the Belt Pkwy!
He better be prepared for a horrible trip then... Traffic on that is murder :tongue:
Not for a Presidential motorcade...Quote:
