I'd be very interested to know where the Gambian IL62 ends up. I know it was parked at IAD the last time they were here for the UNGA. Anybody have any info?

Looks like v8-bkh inbound sometime in afternoon brunei a342
Would appreciate if someone can give a wheels-down time for AF1. Should be within the hour.
[EDIT: Thanks for the AF1 time]
[EDIT: D'OH!! The Argentina is on my most-wanted list]

AF1 10 mile final to 31L at 12:26.
[UPDATE: President arrived at JRB 12:58. 2x MV-22, 2x VH-3, as per the new usual.]
[UPDATE2: And even the President has to drop and go - everything lifted off JRB at 1:15 and are headed back to presumably Kennedy]

Was sunbathing Fri. PM at Coney Beach, Sept. 20, suddenly, heard a loud roar. Saw an Osprey V-22 accompanied by 2 US helicopters. Couldn't see the liveries as the sun was glaring. Was this a dry-run for Air Force One on Sept. 23? The aircraft were flying along the coast, east to west then turned towards Manhattan. I guess I was the only 1 to see this.
Yes, thanks great work. Very exciting to see a new livery. Anybody see Air Force One? I dozed-off Monday and missed it. Did she arrive JFK on Rwy 31R. What time. Is she staying overnight or returned to Andrews?
Sergio that last shot is awesome! Apparently they "escorted" about 3 GA aircraft out of several areas yesterday.
It was probably an HMX-1 training run. They use V-22's now instead of CH-46's.Quote:

Everything then spooled up and departed, and all 3 MV-22s returned again to land, sat for a couple of minutes, and then left. The choreography is a little different now because the MV-22s travel perpendicular to the long axis of the rotors instead of the VH-46s, which travel along the rotor axis.Quote:

Japan Air Force 747-400 inbound:

French A332 is positioning back to JFK from IAD. Pushed and ready for taxi.
Just a little "other side" of UN Week!! Finished my medical appts at 1 today and walked from 68/1st down to East 34 Street Heliport. With all the dignitaries still in the UN you couldnt go down a street around the UN from 53 to 34 and not see a motorcade/protection detail idling including what looked like Obamas on E42 Street between 1/2 Ave (minus The Beast of course)!! In front of one building on 2 Ave and 44 Street there were about 15 govt agents in a circle discussing something. I'm thinking it was probably pizza or Subway!! :cool::cool: At the heliport there was one Sikorsky S-76 there that departed around 3PM and I did see a few TSA agents there. I gather they are doing the screening for the week for outbound copters and iunbound must stop at a designated airport, FRG again?
And what AMAZING weather? Sitting by the river by the heliport the ceiling and visibilty was unlimited!! Just beautiful!! Did look like the LGA Runway 31 arrivals were coming in from the East over Manhattan then over the Harbor banking left to fly over Brooklyn/Queens!!
Good spotting all!
Yes any idea when the President departs?Quote:

Great shots everyone. Mark - love that Air Zimbabwe 767 in front of the Triple Hangar. Proves that you don't have to have sun for a great picture. Not sure what it is about it that makes it stand out - perfect exposure, the atmosphere with the history in the background and the rainy ramp surface - exceptional
Wanted to thank everyone for the great company over the last 5 days - I had a great time and enjoyed meeting you all. Can't wait to process my images - I left after Air Force One arrived to catch my flight home and obviously missed some great captures on Monday afternoon - would have loved the TU154. Can't imagine anyone having the balls to fly across the Atlantic in a TU154!!
The very unfortunately callsigned ***01 is on approach for 22L. Traffic callout was for a 757.
[EDIT: Ha! The forum censored the post. It's Foxtrot Alpha Golf 01]
[EDIT2: It's the Argentina. I've missed it yet again.]
Cfc 01 canada looks like on final for teterburo...
Japan 1 getting ready to departjfk

I took my annual UNGA trip to SWF today in hopes to get some more unique visitors. Pulled of a few new ones this year at SWF. I was happy to get the new livery on a Gambian IL-62. I did shoot the Old Gambian IL-62 in 2004. Also the Congo 707-100 was up there- A bit of a disappointment as I flew to MIA for the ramp tour last winter to shoot it there only to have it turn up at the UNGA. At least my shots of it this time were far better than what I got at MIA. The best catch for me was the Ivory Coast 727-200 as I technically already had the other 2. I was hoping it might come in for the UNGA and sure enough it shows up!

Senga
Senga!!!!!! God damn that's some nice stuff man. You never fail to amaze!
sweet sweet sweet stuff Senga!
Senga on the forum????what?? btw i think i did have a senga spotting on top of t5 on sunday... am I correct?
Damn i wish i could take a trip to swf...i really dislike school at times.
Senga, it was nice meeting you at Costco yesterday and thanks for sharing your pics of the SWEET STUFF up at SWF today also !! :cool:
Was it really Senga, or one of his clones that got those shots? ;-) Outstanding catches as always, my friend!
I'm kicking myself for not making the trek up to SWF this year - looks like there are some great visitors! Fortunately I caught a few UNGA visitors while I was out at IAD today... Nothing that hasn't been covered at JFK with the exception of the Equatorial Guinea 77L. Apparently the JASDF 744's were returning to IAD tonight.
Best of luck for the rest of the week!
