JFK 1-23-13 [US Air Steelers, JetBlue Deicing Fluid]
-
That airplane did indeed come in from SYR and that is what you call a great deice job. Actually, I am watching the Steelers jet taxi out to depart from the tower as we speak.
-
A very nice surprise this morning. Hows the weather up there in the tower?
-
Nice catch ..... I got that Steeler plane a while back in some ugly light so I am hoping to catch under better conditions.
-
I've only ever caught the Steelers jet from the terminal at CLT and it was cloudy out and it was parked at an angle that made getting a shot nearly impossible.
-
Wow I just cought N636JB recently I dont remember it looking that bad. gotta look back on my shots. Oh btw did u happened to catch N531JL? if u did, that was my mother's flight back from BQN this morning
-

Jason, You are a diehard to go out there today. If I went I would need deicing fluid!

When I flew out of Newark last week, it was the first time I've been on a flight that needed to be deiced. It was a twenty minute delay, but seeing the symphony of high-tech deicing trucks surrounding about 8-10 United planes lined up before sunrise, was a treat.

haha! Well, I rolled up to Costco, sat in my car with the engine running, only getting out for US Air. I was just thankful they were on 31!
-
UPDATE!
Well, fellas. Looks like we will have a second chance. The Astrojet is on its way back up to JFK from FLL right now, ETA 10:15pm. It then departs again at 6:40am tomorrow, but will be back yet again at 9:45pm again tomorrow.
-
Mark/Steve, the Steelers plane comes to PHL on a somewhat regular basis, pop down here for a visit and you may get lucky
And good luck with the Astrojet folks

Ya gotta love the convenience of the Costco lot. Until Aunt Matilda and Uncle Charlie call 911 on you after they load their trunk with groceries.
Happened to me. I no longer wear my black coat and sunglasses. Instead, I wear the brightest color I own and smile at everyone. :cool:
