For anyone at JFK today - I'm up at SWF currently and the Congo 707, UAE 787, Equitorial Guinea BBJ, and Libyan Dassault all appear to be getting ready to depart soon. The Niger BBJ is still here but closed up.

Catch of the day, of course this guy had to divebomb to make the approach:

So I take it the Gambia slipped away while no one was looking? EQG did indeed go to Havana.
With the holiday and Shabbat now over, El Al 33 is due in at 1440L tomorrow. Showing as a 763, so something that we don't see very often in this area.
Unfortunately due to heightened security within the ramp area at SWF this year I wasn't afforded the close view of the rare visitors as in years past. However, I did spend a few hours at the airport today and was very happy with the few aircraft I captured!
Here's to another successful UNGA all around, great shots to all!

Awesome catches Gintaras. Wish I could have been there with you guys.
Thanks Don.
Mahan Air A340 arriving to JFK yesterday:

The A343 is quite a photogenic machine, great video!
Finally got through my shots, it was great seeing everyone and meeting some new folks! Click on the dropshots link below to see the full set. I'll post some epic video of the Slovakian Tu-154 landing 13L as soon as I can figure out how to get the HD video onto youtube
Managed to snag one more after coming home- I swung by PHL and caught Tarom departing, great way to end UN Week despite the bad weather:

Great catch William!
A couple pics from today - Slovakia TU-154 came to JFK:

http://i559.photobucket.com/albums/s...P9285726_0.jpg
Great catch on Tarom William!!
And everyone else, wow, some great coverage as usual... I am so glad to live in NY and share the experience with great friends local and foreign. Til next year.
I have over 300GB of images to go through (yes, my RAW files are 45MB each :/ ) and absolutely ZERO time to do it ... so I just managed to get them in their proper folders in Lightroom and maybe by UNGA2015 I will have at least properly cataloged them LOL
Still processing .... after arriving back from a work related trip on Friday night, I headed out to the field to see if there was any residual traffic. I was able to catch these.

Mark, your night photos are simply crazy...
Is the A310 going to the bathroom? :wink:
I think so ..... The ISO on those images range around 6400 and higher since they were on the move.
Great night shots Mark!

Nothing UN-related that I could see at TEB or EWR.
[EDIT: There's an article in the Gambian press about their President returning to Banjul early Saturday morning, so figure a Friday evening departure for his Il-62.]
As I drove past EWR making my way to KDOV for the TUAF the Niger BBJ taxied to 22R and flew over me heading south east as I was at the gas station filling up.

Listening to JFK Tower at the moment and I just heard Angola 2 and Angola 3 land. Not sure if anyone is around to catch what they are?
One of them is likely the Falcon 900 D2-ANT that was kicking around at SWF last weekend. They also have Global D2-ANG, but I think that's the flagship of the government fleet, and would presumably get the 1 call, but those are the two most likely candidates.Quote:

Thanks for posting this Slovakian TU-154. I saw it on approach over Coney beach on Sunday and thought it was an IL-62. It did not appear on Flight Aware. I also noticed an ELY flight #37 on Flight Aware, a B762, but sadly she was sent over to the 22L approach. I think she was UN related. She later departed for Toronto.
I love this AIC B744 in the new livery. We only get the B773 at JFK. When did she arrive at JFK? I would die a happy man to see this!
ELY B762 was flight 37 from TLV and arrived Rwy 22L. It later departed for CYYZ yesterday evening. I think it was indeed UN-related as it doesn't appear to be a regularly scheduled flight although the flight shows on Flight Aware which usually hides diplomatic and military flights, I believe.

The El Al flight 37 that you see on Flightaware is from 2005. It did not depart for Toronto last night. The Air India 744 arrived midday Friday to drop off the PM, and returned midday today to pick him up.Quote:

Since we are now posting video, I need to do my part to keep this thread going.
Cary knows what the word "Epic" means, because he was shooting stills destined for anet while I filmed this a few feet from him:

Thank u very much Mateo for the info on Gambia, he did the same last year for departure but this year arrived on daylight and everyone got a shot. From this thread i gather this year's VIP arrivals looked unusually concentrated, with most good stuff in two days except Belarus mid-week (which actually came in for the "Climate Summit" not the General Debate). I notice UN airplane paintschemes are getting progressively worse though, too many thin wavy lines like in some A319s, Niger BBJ, even Iraqi Airways new look is zzzzz.. or some bizarre ugly paint like on Lybian 5A-ONE last year, or even worse - military gray like that Peruvian 737 :frown:
Now, that Tupolev video was beautiful! Replayed it at least 5 times in a row, never thought I'd see it on video. Real machine with sound and smoke, hard to believe it's still around since i first got her on film some 10 years back. I don't shoot video, but wonder if a still in HD can make a good photo? (not talking about for sending it to buttkissers.net). I mean simply to get a pleasant image to look at
edit: nothing for us down here as far as VIPs going to Miami or Disney which can happen on occasion
Wait...Quote:
