Arik Air A340-500 JFK PICs FINALLY!

Greetings,
Went to JFK this morning to shoot the Arik Air A340-500. The hour and a half late arrival time and a unusual outside gate allowed me to shoot ARA this morning at JFK. Usually there is no time to get it before sunrise because they reposition the aircraft onto the hardstand soon after the passengers deplane. The plane was repositioned minutes after I took the shot.

I also shot this LAN One World. I didn't even know LAN was in one world. I guess its the latest and greatest in Alliance garbage schemes.

Nice catch, Senga! Concerning the LAN 767, that's a recent delivery.

Nice catch Senga, glad to get that one out of the way?

Thanks for the compliments,
Gordon, Wow I am glad I got it out of the way then...I almost didn't bother to go back as I thought it was just my eye playing tricks on me when it was obscured.

Bill,
Yes I am glad to get it out of the way.. An unusual and exotic airline, I am very pleased to add it to the collection.

I caught the LAN One World at LAX last weekend

Good shots.

I was out as well this morning, I've got an eye out for that Arik.....

Senga, love the first. You got hte Lan in back, the Arik in front and the El Al too. Well done!

Love the ARik and El Al ribbon schemes!

Great catches Senga!

Damn Senga, I am sooo jealous of the Airk bird. She is gorgeous!

Thanks,
Eric,
That plane is a PAIN to get as you know. I was hoping some snow storms would delay the plane so we could get some day time moments but it doesn't look like we will be getting any snow anytime soon. Also it doesn't help that it comes from Nigeria a place that usually has stable weather. As Tom Turner Said. The only kind of adverse weather in Nigeria that could possible delay the plane would be a dust storm or a Locust invasion.

Mario,
Yea I noticed that after I edited the shot. If I saw the Lan One World I would have shot it from the same spot I shot the Arik Air.

Kenny,
Yes it is a nice looking aircraft...I agree.

But it was hear today.

damn ! nice catch !

Good Work Senga.

Can Aerogal be far behind..???? :wink:

If I ever see that LAN eurowhite I'm not even gonna bother to shoot it. LAN is already too white as it is, and this looks like complete crap. Ugh it's a White plane plague!

Arik Air, now that's much better 8)
