OK, but why shouldn't the method I used work? Since the forum uses BB Code, how come using the [img] tag didn't work? They weren't hyperlinks when I typed them...

You typed them out? I doubt it LOL. Anyway, the forum is designed to INTERPRET Hyperlinks. You should use the little toggle switch to view RAW text vs formatted to make sure. Or use the IMG widget... regardless, it was an easy fix... select the entire block of image text and hit the REMOVE HYPERLINK button! Voila!

The IMG tag worked is just that the forum interpreted the IMG url as a hyperlink and then you had (actually)

PHP Code:

[img][url=http://www.blahblah.com/image.jpg]http://www.blahblah.com/image.jpg[/url][/img]

I believe the British Prime Minister was departing this evening in a Virgin A340 sitting and being heavily prepped and guarded behind the Triple Hangars. Couldn't even get close enough for a fence shot.

Hmmm.....interesting it was a Virgin A340. Earlier today I was a Virgin A340 sitting on the hardstand near T4 where typically the Emirates A380 is situated. Here are a few more images from Tuesday.

Aw, Brunei brought the 340 this year? Rats!

With the holiday over, Netanyahu is finally inbound aboard B762 4X-EAF. Trackable as ELY33, and due in around 630a.

Brunei has a history of parking at SWF if you're interested in seeing it.

Great shots. Thanks for sharing. Must of taken lots of work and patience to be in the right place for the arrivals. A scanner is a must! Hard to read the tail #s of some of these. Did anybody get a pix of the Iranian B74SP? I believe the tail#EP-IAD ? Is it heavily guarded and hidden?

Excellent work. I am curious about the C&T Charter, N916SK. I tried to track the aircraft but it shows zero flights into JFK; interesting though it is from Havana. Maybe the Cuban delegation were aboard. Some of these aircraft are a mystery and we have nobody to ask to get confirmation. The JAL B744 with the old livery; what is its tail #? Haven't seen a JAL B744 for quite awhile. I've yet to see the aircraft of the Chinese or even the Taiwanese delegation.

This is a regularly scheduled flight (though you're right, it doesn't appear on trackers). They also have several (6+) flights a day into MIA.

Those are actually Japanese government owned aircraft, not the airline.

I've just got word that this lovely aircraft is parked up at IAD:

Keep an eye out for her in the New York airports in the next two days... I'll try and get a specific ETD.

Is that CS-TQX, Gordon? What a beaut!!

The plane is trackable, N916SK.

She flies into JFK every Sunday as SGB6402 usually arriving on 31L.

It is indeed, recently re-registered to White Airways of Portugal to allow better access to the world. I was fortunate enough to photograph her in Lisbon when she was being re-registered. Apparently IAD ops has no ETD but they seem to think she won't be around much longer.

They have also been know to use various different aircraft, including but not limited to a B737-200 Advanced (sounds like an F-15 on takeoff :tongue:), Vision Airlines B767, FlyGuam B737 etc.

The Iranian 747 SP relocated to Andrews AFB for the duration of the Iranian stay here in the states. It may reposition back to NYC to depart for Home, I would keep my eyes open.

Update on the Guinea 777-200LR... It's due to depart IAD at 14:00. Not sure if she's going to JFK or EWR though.

Nick, do you know how long he's staying or when it will depart?

Oh there are people to ask but they wear black suits, dark sunglasses and have earpieces and might have questions FOR YOU!!! :cool:
LOL I was walking by the Regency on Park Ave in Manhattan today and East 61st was closed and lots of SS types, ESU CAT Teams and DHS guys on duty. On my second walk past got the hairy eyeball from a couple of them so I guess pictures were out of the question.

I missed a VC-25, the Iran Air 747SP, and I waited for 2 hours for that damn Yemenia. I only left after my phone died, and it landed an hour after I left. Not a great day :mad:

Just as I was making my way to HoBe from home, I have gotten two blocks away from home and I see the Yemenia 747 SP departing off RWY 31L. I darted out of my car to get this shot. As I was taking the shot, there was a guy sitting on his stoop and must of thought .... what the hell was all that about as I drove off.
http://mbsphotography.smugmug.com/Av...27Sep201-L.jpg

Jason, 2 SP's and a TU! Damn I'm jealous! Great coverage guys from all. I'm still trying to find time to edit my Sunday shots.

Some of my shots taken Tuesday at SWF:

Senegal:

There was a second Thai A340 there but unshootable to due to the way it was parked. Same story for a few uninteresting BBJ's and a tan ERJ-190. The 777 was also there but surrounded by ground equipment. I went up to SWF hoping to catch a VC-25A or some of the Saudi, UAE or Brunei stuff, but no luck.

I didn't get the Spanish A310--there was a gate guard at the fence and I didn't want to press my luck after already shooting the 727 and Senegal. Although I don't think he realized I was there...

I have never seen an MD-80 that clean before. Great sets guys.
