Awesome shots. Trying to figure-out the arrival runways: looks like 13L and possibly 22L.

Awesome shots. Trying to figure-out the arrival runways: looks like 13L and possibly 22L.
Wahoo, The Gambia IL-62 just landed on 31R with plenty of sun!
I went out to get the FAP B735 this morning. This is the 4th livery it has had on it. This is the first aircraft I ever shot during a UNGA in 2002. Also Got the Gambian IL-62.. AGAIN. I said if I saw it again I was going to scream so I am going to scream now. I wish the planes that I have missed in the the past would come back for once.

Landed at JFK a little while ago and noted The Gambia IL-62 departing 31L. There was also a Mauritania BBJ by the deicing hangar and an Ethiopian 767-300 (could have been the 757-200) by the former Tower Air area... The Egypt A340-200 and Kuwait 747-400 are still parked at the airport as well.
I should hopefully have an update from SWF later tonight.
I'll be up there again tomorrow for my Typical Morning trip My "The day of" trip to KSWF
The only thing for me there will be the Iraqi B738.

Leaving IAD I saw both Japanese VIP jets

Congo on final for 31R. Amiri 7 has also just landed.
Mauritania and Peru have both departed.
3C-EGE, the Equatorial Guinea BBJ is descending over NW CT, Stewart-bound?
Iran looks to be bringing a Mahan 343, EP-MMC. About to go feet dry just S of Boston; ETA around 1640L. [EDIT: Mahan now on final 31R, 1627L]
Mali BBJ P4-PRM arrived JFK around 2200L.
BBJ HZ-HR5 opf Lebanon arrived EWR earlier in the afternoon and has repositioned to McGuire.
The Ceiba 772 CS-TQX, which brought the other half of the Equatorial Guinea delegation to EWR is on its way to Boston now.
Venezuela F900 YV2485 on final to JFK 2320L. Venezuelan F50 YV2165 is just behind him. And just behind him is Conviasa E190 YV3016!
Philippines 343 RP-C3435 arrived EWR earlier this afternoon and is now repositioning to DOV.
The French snuck in when no one was looking, since it just departed 31L. Call was CTM0001 heavy, so maybe the 340?

To those of us who were out at Panera yesterday (Sunday), did anyone figure out what caused the EK A-380 to divert to Bradley???
a great day today later i post some pic BTW the Korean AF1 Came in 31R
Made it to JFK for some late afternoon looking; Korea 744 way at the back by the AER 13L, Comlux 762 P4-CLA opf Congo and Amiri 332 A7-HJJ at Hangar 12, and the Mahan 343 EP-MMC at the Triples. The Amiri was towed up by Fedex, Congo left for SWF, and Mahan was taxiing out around 1930. The Kuwait was still way in the back on the north side, and the Ethiopian is still over by Tower. Didn't see the Egypt, but I wasn't looking for it, either.
List of what's at SWF from what I could gather:
Brunei 747-400
UAE 787-800
Gabon 777-200
Gambia IL-62
Congo 707
Belarus TU-154
South African 727-200
Niger BBJ
Equatorial Guinea BBJ
Mauritania BBJ
Iraqi Airways 737-800
Chile 767-300
Air Zimbabwe 767-200
Spain A310 + Falcon 500
Libya Dassault 900
Comulux 767-200
Here just a few from today. BTW ... Korean Air Force landed on 31L (not 31R).

I was only a little bit jealous of all the UNGA action until I saw that IL-62 departure shot. You're killing me, Mark. With that being said, great shots everybody!
Egypt is still at JFK, hidden behind the Port Authority building.Quote:

Mark that IL-62 is awesome! I was wondering what that beast would look like departing, it must have sounded good too. :cool:
Tuesday morning [0600L]:
Brazil 319 2101 appears to be taxiing out right now.
Iraq 772 YI-AQZ is over Maine. If it's coming to JFK, it'll be there in about an hour or so.
EDIT: Iraq 772L departed 4R around 0840.
Folks
Thanks for posting all of the great info and pictures. I had been planning on coming down to JFK for this weekend but a last minurte family trip to Disney World changed those plans. Now I am tearing my hair out at some of the activity this weekend. For sure, I will mark this in my calender for next year. By the way, Mark, that Gambia Il62 departure at HOBE is exceptional. Won't be many more chances to get an Il62 on the Canarsie climb out.
Thanks to all and keep the pics coming
Cheers
Trevor
Falcon 500?? Shouldn't that be a 900?Quote:

Presidential flotilla just landed at Wall Street. Usual 2x MV-22, 2x VH-3, with the third Osprey circling overhead and not landing. Landing Ospreys were code 04 and 06; don't have the time to go and see about the Sea Kings.
Went to to SWF as I always do on The Tuesday of. The only two new for me was Iraqi 737 and the 777. Posting the 777 now.

Great shot Senga!
I took off from work for two hours to catch Airforce One today for the first time.
As a relative new member and spotter it was really nice to receive such a warm welcome from Manny and some of the other folks taking pics today.

with all air traffic stopped, I cannot figure out what the other plane in the background is

Plane in the background is likely a straight-in to LGA 31.Quote:

And we didn't get thrown out of bayswater this year. Very friendly officer on patrol in the park today.
That shot from hartford looks like a screen capture from a computer game haha! Nice catch though!
Russian Government IL-96 (RA-96019) flying south over Boston right now as RSD8, presumably en route to JFK.
Senga ..... beautiful shots of that Iraqi
Russian IL-96 is landing 22L as I type this out.
EWR
Tarom makes it way back to the NYC area as a VIP flight. Been a while since they have been here. Went out because they didn't have the "updated livery" when they used to fly into JFK.

Wasn't it impossible to get AF1 from Inwood Park? Much closer to 31L.
I caught AF1 just once from Inwood Park late this past spring.

Senga, wow, as always, you kill it with the rare ones. Are the planes at SWF parked in a way that are not too tight? Always wonder if it is worth it to go up only to find out they are not cleanly photographable (is that even a word? :smile: )
Thanks...
Rose.. The Reporter? I think, she was @ mounds this afternoon...Yesterday, some guy was interviewing spotters @ Panera...
It's a very good thing !!! way better if journalists are interviewing spotters than LEO does...
Pitty me...I can spot only after work...
Today's catch only - Amiri 3:

Manny,
Yea they seem to crowd the planes close together. They has several smashed against walls now and in the corners. They have been parking the planes a little different starting from last year so there is a little more randomness how they are parked and they are not lines up nicely like they used to be. Usually I only bother with what I need and you find most of the stuff there yo already got at JFK. They only plane that was there when I arrived that I need was the Irqai 737. I got a crap shot but at least I got it that's why I go. I'll get it when it goes back to JFK so will have to try again later when it come back to JFK.
A few of my shots

Great shots of yours Misael!
