WTF?
we're missing something here because these arn't the only visitors... EWR has had Saudi 747SP, Aramco 767 N767A, VP-CIE and VP-BWR A319s the past few days.Quote:

The Kuwait A310 is also on its way back to SWF.
I shot Djibouti B721 2 times before at JFK before I was repainted (2004/2006). I have never been able to get that plane on the side with the titles.

I think you mean TITLES, Senga. Although I like your suggestion as well.
Oopps, I meant "titles".
What an embarrassing mistake. Please Forgive me.

Thursday 10-23, an Imaculant SAM C-9A just landed on 31 simply beautiful.
I saw the Stars 757 parked in front of the Port Police building from the M60 bus around 2200. The 75 looked really nice, was the Texas Rangers side of the aircraft, it had the logo light on and all lit up waiting for the busses to come from Nassau Colisum, sorry no repo to FRG guys
LGA777
Friday 10-24. the C-9A from the day before departed 13 around 1600 with Laura Bush onboard, probably one of her last trips to NYC as the current First Lady.
LGA777
Sat 10-25. The first (of 5) B6 A-320's to get the IMO tacky looking "Jetting to T5 stickers" N746JB departed 13 around 1500, on I presume her first visit to LGA. The 7 of us working all watched her depart and agreed our collective description was very "Telemundoish"
Cheers

From what I can tell it was another splendid night at LGA :roll: Looks like Air Canada brought in an 767-200...Im guessing to clean up the mess that was a result of the storms.
Oh and it looks like Delta features a new 0100 deperature to MCO http://flightaware.com/live/flight/DAL1 ... /KLGA/KMCO :lol:
ATIS reported one of the rarest of rare LGA runway configurations this evening: ILS/LOC 13 approach, depart runway 13.Quote:

Matt the vis was so bad at times I missed seeing the 762 as I could not see the AC gates from our Tower even though we control one of them. US12 PHX-JFK actually diverted twice, MDT and PHL where it cancelled as the crew timed out. US 1490 departed CLT at 1 min early at 1609 and arrived LGA 7 hours and 2 mins later (2311 for those who trouble with math) after diverting to PHL for fuel, then being number for 60 to takeoff, then being a victim of a 2 hour ground stop to LGA. Oh and check out US 1630, never diverted but look at their holding. 4 hours and 3 mins gate to gate CLT-LGAQuote:

And the CLT-LGA behind him US 1624

Ironically those two flights where operated with the Steelers and Panthers schemed aircraft.
And as I was finishing typing this I noticed something Big and White, coming out of Delta's alley, ended up being 767-332 N125DL (New Colors) at this early hour I did a double take, thought it was a 777 for a moment or two.

As for that 734, the Anet remark said that when the photo was taken, it was flying the Pittsburgh Penguins around. The Penguins played (and lost to) the Rangers last night, so maybe the plane came in this morning to pick them up.
Wed 10-29: Shortly after arriving at work at 1630 witnessed two mildly interesting movements.
First this Canadian J31
Here is the companies charter fleet, pretty varied.

The other visitor is a comon site at JFK but only the second time I have seen her at LGA

AA will have a 767-300 coming in today as AAL 1256 and departing back to MIA as AAL 2093. Should have just landed...
Wow, Matt, let someone else post something! haha.
I just drove under the 763 a few minutes ago. I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me at first.
I got the AA 763 departing LGA from my house

happy haloween everyone! today has been an interesting day in terms of GA traffic here a LGA. i was down on the ramp and saw a cessna conquest and soverign, and saw quite a few falcons, lears and gulfstreams from the office. the visitor of the day just taxiied past me right now, here's a shot in much better light:
the airplane departed going all the way to TNG/GMTT (Tangier, Morocco).
Wow, secksy.
04 November
aside from the GA traffic i didn't pay enough attention to today because my nose was burred in a great book i did manage to notice we were lucky enough to score a visit from N610DL:
btw, nice shot bill. i only wish she had bent wings.
(yes i am very tired)
Thursday Nov 6th: Only movement I caught worth mentioning was the loud, long and slow departure of LGA's resident 727, VP-BDJ making a transon flight to MRY.
Also as most of you know DL has numerous Comair CRJ-900's every day at LGA. Recently a single Pinncale CR9 was added to the mix operating a CVG-LGA-MSY late afternoon routing. And today that flight was operated by N605LR, registered to Mesa/Freedom but with a FLG (Flagship or Pinnacle) designator, interesting.
Oh and speeking of Delta from their latest schedule change they are now flying 5 or 6 (depending on the day) of their LGA-MDW trips with Brand-New E-175's. As most non international DL aircraft do not have logo lights I got tell you their newest tail logo looks really sharp all lit up on these new E-jets at night !
Cheers
LGA777
Sunday Nov 9th: Fairly uneventful day, except at the end, DL's Pink 757 N610DL landed around 2345, and then sat right in front of the office for about 5 mins waiting for her gate to open, nice view at the end of a long day.
Cheers

trump's VP-BDJ slipped back in without us noticing tonight. saw her while walking to my truck in the parking lot.
10 November
when i got to work i was so pissed off after having messed up royally on a calulus test i knew it would take a lot to cheer me up... but the sight of two MH-60s did the trick. only problem was, they were light grey instead of green. nobody's perfect i suppose...
:mrgreen:
i managed to take this while sticking my phone through the fence. i like it, as i have both LGA towers in it.

11 November
when i parked today i noticed three USN C-37s parked at five towers surrounded by the usual flock of corporae birds.
An Army helo, I think it was an HH-60 (dark green, not gray like the one pictured above), flew overhead as I waited for the train in Astoria this morning, pretty sure it came from LGA. I watched it for a few minutes as it headed west over upper Manhattan, then it made a right and followed the Hudson north until I couldn't see it.
Saturday Nov 15: DL upgrade 917 to ATL from a 757 to an Intl 767-332ER N1200K in the old colors. Later as the weather deterioted I saw what I thought was a diversion, as these are common at EWR, but is actuallly now scheduled once a day daily, NW-Compass E-175 operated by N614CZ. It unfortunalty operates after dark to and from DTW, arrives at 1710 and departs at 1759, replacing the prev scheduled DC-9-30, But don't worry, they still have two a day of those.
Cheers

there is also an ACA Jetz A319 parked at 5 towers, came in sometime last night.
26 November
VP-BDJ just roared off of 31, bound for KPBI. happy thanksgiving mr. trump!
November 27th
Air Canada (TCA) A319 C-FZUH was in this morning
Was here again Thanksgiving afternoon, I had not seen this one here in a while. From the way the aircraft looked I think Air Canada may have given this one a fresh coat of paint recently but in the same nice retro scheme. Pretty sure this scheme came out in 1997 so I can't imagine it's the same paint for 11 years.Quote:
