I believe the German A340 is a new visitor that wasn't finished in time for UNGA 2010. One of two A340-300s the Luftwaffe purchased from Lufthansa, reconfigured for VIP transport and delivered sometime last year.

I don't remember seeing it before, Matt. Last year, they brought an A310.
I suggested an eye exam for the officer who pulled me over today.
(and why not? After all, we are all about public safety.)
Had a problem with the PC so I'm sorry for the late posting. It was great to meet Manny, Mark, Tom, and Eric and see Cary, Moose, and Jacob. An exciting day for sure.

Thanks for going out and getting these guys!
I love this thread every year!
That Luftwaffe A340 looks amazing! We had the A310 here in Ottawa last time Merkel came in, I'd trade my right nut for the 340!
Tuesday:
Bahrain (747-4 I am guessing)
Peru 737 (different colors than previous years)
South Korea 747-4 (new)
Argentina 757
Kazakstan (sp?) A330 (1st year here I believe)
France A330 (new)

Has anyone made it out to see what's parked at SWF? Flightaware lists a few:
both the Kuwaiti A310 & A319
France GLEX
the MEA A330
two VIP A319's
misc G4's/G5's
helicopter movement from 30th Street
Will be stopping by later Wednesday afternoon to check and see what birds are posted up in the 'Burgh B-)
Not yet... planned on doing it yesterday but with the clouds, I said bah... maybe a long shot for today... otherwise, it will have to wait until next year.
Guys, What a bunch of killer shots.... You all did a great job lensing all the UN metal....
