I saw VP-BKS parked next to the American hangar today, I imagine she must be parked at JFK for a bit?

Dreamlifter's here. Saw her passing over FRG for 22L.
Oh man!!!! I would love to add that to my collection!
I almost drove off the Northern State when it passed overhead. Coming at me head on, I thought it was an A-380, but then I saw the bulge.Quote:

I definitely picked the wrong day this week to go to JFK. I should have come down today instead of Tuesday.
Looks like I picked the wrong week to...Quote:

Mark and I were like minding our own business, looking out in the horizon... when I said, what the heck is that? Mark says, "Dreamliner" I said, yeah, no, DreamLIFTER! ... lol
I am still drooling. Never thought I see her again at JFK, never mind in the air!
Parked for the night, may leave in the AM.
Ah...........how sweet it is!!!

cool,cool !!!
Great shots...dicks lol.
Departed 0622
I got up early to try and make it out in case it would leave in the morning. It didn't look like it would be ready THAT early.
Didn't matter Not enough light. I am going to print a picture of Jason Whitebird and throw darts at it.Quote:

Cary, I knew you would curse us... :tongue: We just happen to be lucky, that's all... absolutely zero planning. Etihad F1 was the same for me... only rare special I did expect (thanks to Mark "Zee71") was Swiss San Fran, and that blew chunks since it was ppor weather and they totally screwed us on the landing config!
Showing that DreamLifter is on the ground at JFK ?? Confirmation anyone? IF so, it will depart around 4:30pm to KCHS!!

Saw a thread on the Big Blue Site confirming it's here (with photos).Quote:

EDIT: Seems my source was delayed by 24hrs and the flight info was for yesterday 9/1. Apologies for any confusion...
Not sure what it was doing at JFK, but an Allegiant DC-9 was at T4 this morning.....A/C reg. N891GA.....it departed around 11:25am
Allegiant on the roll on RWY 4L, taken from Bayswater

A rare bird at JFK arrived around noon today (9/13) on RWY 22L. This was taken from North Woodmere park and cropped. I don't know where it parked or when it left.

According to FlightAware, it came in from Decatur, AL (Pryor Field Regional Airport) and left around 1:45pm. It belongs to McNeely Charter Service, out of West Memphis, AR. The outbound leg was scheduled back there, but per FA, it diverted to Akron-Canton, OH.
more freight in akron my guess
SkyKing B734 Flight # SGB 6402 on reg N916 SK arrived at 1225 on rwy 13R

Nope, not really notable ... 777 is often replaced with the 747.. here she was on Tuesday

Ok, thanks for the info Manny. THat was the first time I've ever seen the 747 shown for Asiana going to JFK. Hopefully it will be used again next saturday.
There is a Saudi A340 and 747SP by the triple hangers.
In town to pick up the body of Crown Prince Sultan bin Abdulaziz Al Saud who was next in line for the throne, but died today of colon cancer at New York Presbyterian Hospital.Quote:
