Arriving between 5 and 6 pm. Probably on 22.
What airline(s)?
The usual "State Tranport Company of Russia". Sheesh how about those Snazzy TU-154s they have or the TU-204.
Was hoping for something different but oh well

Phil and Senga,
How did you find out about this?
I will be on my way out there around 3:30
Eric
Josh, who controls all foreign flights out of NYC? Senga Butts.
I just got word that they both landed on 13L after all Euro flights got switched over at around 5.
It was nice to finally get the IL-62 from that angle! I have plenty of "State Transport COmpany of Russia" IL-62s but these shots are just the best Ih ave gotten so far.

Great shots Eric! Congrats. Glad to see someone was able to get them.
Senga,
Where are you photographing from?
It was nice to see those IL's landing on 13L. I love the noise they make, as they fly over.
good work guys... the wx definately cooperated.
I've never seen those before.
Awesome!
Makes me kinda home-sick...
It was awesome to see I saw them from Crossbay Blvd driving last evening. I wish i had my camera on me.
Nice shots Eric and Senga!
I agree, GREAT SHOTS Senga and Eric ! I have a favor for Senga, I only have access to the FlyteComm.com flight tracker and although Tuesdays IL-62's where on their a lot of Senga's traffic is not. Senga during this special U.N. session could you just keep and eye on LGA as sometimes we get lucky and one of the smaller foreign government aircraft do come to LGA and there are a few of us that would enjoy catching whatever might come here.
Thanks

LGA,
Did you catch the Spanish Government A310 that came into LGA in the past year?
yes he did... lucky stiff!!
Very Nice!
Iberia,
I shot the IL-62 from the road south of 13L. I like to get background in some of my shots.
Senga
Ron,
Yea I'll post if something shows on that heading to LGA. I would imaging it would be mainly business jets and the like but you never know.
Senga
Iberia A340-600, yes I did get very lucky and caught the Spanish Govt A-310

Great shots guys! I love seeing those guys.
Wondering if anyone caught video? In other words, got the sounds in action too?
Beautiful aircraft, arent they?
Hi Mirrodie,
Sorry no sound. Ad always those IL-62s are awsome to listen to. The wine of the IL-62 is almost as awsome as the IL-76! It sounds eirie like the Concorde did becase the engines are so close together.
Senga
I know this photo has nothing to do with NYC area airports but it is a very cool IL-62 shot uploaded today and after all how often do we get to see a photo of a North Korean Airliner. Have a look, very, very cool photo !

Two more of these classic IL-62's enroute to JFK Today Tuesday 9-13, ETA's 1430 and 1550L
LGA777
The IL-62's are now showing 1350 and 1648 ETA's, both departing shortly thereafter to Dover AFB in Delaware !

Maybe one could be the Ukraine gov't? Maybe the other one is the Gambia new Millennium? :) That's one I'd love to get.
