It's been a few weeks but it's finally coming out. :)
Be sure to get your copy in the City Section.
If you sell your photographs and claim your photos in your taxes, you can write-off the $3.50 for the New York Times Sunday Edition! haha
Here's the link to the online version:

great article guys! hey Phil when i first came to New York i was staying just up the road from planeview park in east elmhurst...i remember taking a walk down that way and watching arrivals! Futt, you gotta find another airline to photograph mate! ;) point your camera at the russian stuff! :)
seems Mel and I like to use hearing to id aircraft... :)
The photos in the print version are pretty cool. There are two pictures, one with Mel and I, and another with Tom Turner, Brian, Josh, and Mel in the background.
I'll scan or take pics of them and post soon.
That's a great article, Phil. Hope it helps people realize we're not a threat.
And the next NYCA shirt has toi say "I love the feel of wake turbulance in the morning!"
That's fantastic Phil, good write up and I'm sure it will draw lots of great attention to the site.
Great article! I think I'll print a copy and carry in my car for the next time I want to take some photos near ISP!
Excellent article Phil. the reporter seemed to understand our hobby well and very cool that the online version has a link to the sight. And as far as Melanie hoping to get more women into the hobby if the article gets at least one woman interested then her comments will be a success. I am glad there where a few interesting schemes that morning and which 727 was mentioned ? Oh and BTW Mel I have missed the TCA 319 several times because I thought it was Spirit so don't sweat it !
Great Job Phil as usual of coordinating this and promoting our hobby to the masses in a positive light !
Cheers

That is a fantastic Report Phil and Mel. Very proud of you guys for bringing the awareness of spotting to the new york area.
I really want to try one for the STL Area though it seems we don't garner very much support here.
Mel I loved your comment "i seriously thought it was a spirit" hahaha :)

Congrats again.

Awesome,awesome ! I am proud to be a part of this group !
That's fantastic!
I just got the paper too.
PS- "JULIA RAMEY", is most likely another one of Phil's "victims" LOL
Great article, and great 'advertising' for aviation nuts and NYC Aviation. I'm looking forward to the pics, as picking up a NY Times is a bit hard on this side of the ocean.
Just to let you all know...
The stupid NY Times will not have this section in the paper IF your not from or getting it in the city.
I have mine, from NJ. So in the papers infinite wisdom they remove the NY section and install a NJ insert.
So Phil, please do scan that article since many here will never see it.
Westchester Section for me, but you can still see it online ;-).

I look like I'm either gettin jiggy wit' it, or about to bumrush someone. oy.
I love it.
See, Tom has the wisdom not to hold the camera at that time.
Now he too has clear face pic.
Brilliant!
awesome!
Yeah, what's up with that, you were sticking that bootie out there! :lol:Quote:

Great article Phil!
Maybe we can try it at EWR next time, see how long it takes for PAPD to throw everyone out!
CBS Sunday Morning program a few weeks did an article on train spotters, maybe you could get them to do a follow up on aviation enthusiasts. The program goes out nationally including Alaska and Hawaii.
it's nice to have some good press from time to time....
and of course i find out about this on MONDAY NIGHT... but that's ok. :)
one question, who took the pix for the paper?
They had a NY Times photog come out to shoot.
