Im planing to go out to JFK to do some spotting. Im not usually there on a sunday because i usually spend time at a friends house on sundays and now im planing to spend my entire day at JFK hoping to catch some nice planes and mostly cargos. Is anyone gonna be there sunday?
Maybe...right now it sounds like the weather may be questionable - Intellicast is saying "Showers ending by midday. Highs in the low 50s and lows in the low 30s."
I'll probably post something here Sunday morning if I'm heading out.
Any spotting would be PM if the forecast is correct. If something good is coming in it will be a game time decision.
Looks like it's now supposed to be sunny. If it stays that way I'll be out tomorrow.
Weather's looking good...I'll check back around noon-1pm to see if anyones going out.
I'm heading out shortly.
Right now the 4s are in use...so that looks like Bayswater.
Unfortunatley Bayswater is dead at this point. 4R arrivals have to be shot early morning to be worth anything. Only afternoon shooting you can do at Bayswater is 13R departures. I will monitor ATIS for a little while
Ah, thanks Nick.
I just checked 4passer/JFk around 11:25am and they seem to be using runway 4 right now. Im heading to JFK around 12 noon
np, by 11 that sun is high and to you left so it's total crap. Still on golf at this point. With the 31s closed so who knows.Quote:
Ah, thanks Nick
Well if anyone sees me, ill be wearing my white American Airlines sweat shirt in case anyone spots me. Im gonna start heading out there. Bad news for me is that i got to use the subway to get there lollol
In fact if some can tell me what stop is closer to Bayswater from the A train?
If you were to go to Bayswater/Jamaica Bay Park, I would suggest the A train to Far Rockaway/Mott Ave and then transfer to the 22A bus...BUT did you see Nick's above post about the poor spotting conditions this time of day?Quote:

Ive seen it but if i see that JFK has switch to 31 or 13, or 22 even ill be able to see the landings from the train after passing howard beach but thanks winglets
Ive also visited a an area by the water between Beach 67th St its a good view of watching the arrivals with out the sun in the way, there are sometimes people fishing there as well in case anyone is interested
31L/13R and 31R/13L are only closed until 1700z with the winds forecasted to be 320 to 330 this afternoon, I'm sure they will switch over.
I'll probably be by Firestone around 2-ish. Anyone else???
May head out not sure yet, If I don't make it look for the Royal Jordanian 340 with the new red tips. Around 5ish I think. Maxjet may be the white one at 2osh or so too.
Had good intentions, but didnt make it today. Grrrrr!
