Wind config and no heads up that anything is headed our way...thinking I may save the drive for tomorrow.
Of course this means you will all get to see an IL-62 or something wild of that nature today.

I want an Il-86, personally :tongue:

I spotted one of the Spanish A310's departing TOJ (Madrid Torrejon) today around 2:00pm CET... Can't say for sure it was heading for New York but the timing is right. Look out for a possible arrival around 4:00pm EST.

Republic of Gabon 777 just landed 22L
The Spanish Ai310 also just landed 22L. We are now heading to the mounds.
Brilliant! I'm happy I saw that one depart... Here's a miserable shot of her leaving TOJ:

Both A310's normally come for UN Week so I'm sure the second will be coming in the next day or two. The 707 is still in active service and I happened to I see it parked at MAD the other day. However I believe she is only being used for troop transport flights.
Royal Jordanian GLF4 inbound:

Slovakian Tu-154 landed JFK RWY 22L
I knew I would regret staying home. A Slovak TU-154, UGH!
Eric, that TU-154 is just amazing, I'll bet it sounded great too, so glad it not only captured, but in nice light to boot, the 777 is also nice, I understand it was recently re-registered.
Cheers
LGA777
Good stuff, Eric! It's bad enough not being in NY for this week, but then I have to suffer through everyone posting about arrivals without any photos...:smile:
John, not only that, the wx cleared up quite nicely almost all the way to sunset (damn clouds on the horizon killed the last 20 minutes)
Yes, the high pitch from the three Soloviev engines is sweet. I didn't know they were the same engines on the MiG-31 !
Awesome Eric - who owns that triple??
Great Community that we have here to have a photo of the Spain Aircraft A310 leaving TOJ and arriving JFK!
If you mean the triple TU-154 it is the Slovak Republic. If you go on Wikipedia under "Slovak Governement Flying Service" you can see an image of OM-BYO

Manny, you're at Bayswater, I presume? Winds will be heavy from the NW all day so I presume they'll eventually switch to an all-31 configuration. If you move, please post here, my girlfriend will be following the thread while I drive.
Thanks!

Bayswater :)
ATIS says all 31 now. I am at Panera, unless you think VIP traffic will go to the left...

I doubt it. BTW if you want a C-17, Reach 420 Tango is inbound. 31R
Sweet. Backlit, but I'll always shoot a C-17! Will you be joining us here?
Also, I really wish my radio hadn't crapped out on me...

Manny what time is the c-17 going to be here?
