LGA & JFK Saturday Morning 5/5 (MANY PICS)

I headed out early this morning and hit LGA for an hour. Then I went to Howard Beach to see if I could catch some good departures. I wanted to meet up with Mark Lawrence today but didn't have enough time. Hopefull next time Mark! But I read that you had a really good time! That's what it's all about. Anyway, here's some from today.

I think i might hold the NYC Avation record of the most photos in one reply :lol:

Hey Mike, I heard 4/22 was to be closed this weekend, where were those LGA shots taken from????

757's without noses. Is that the new conversion recently or is it Unites new cost saver program. Thanks for all the USAirways love people!

Hi John, how are you?

That's right, 4/22 was closed, I went to the Home Depot over at College Point and finally had the sun on the right side! Nice 31 arrivals even though I didn't stay very long. I really do like that spot though.

Great shots Mike - I really can't have been far from you as I got that EK departure from Bayswater as well!! Sorry we missed paths!

First a special thanks to the individual who made these shots possible, "Echo right is open I TOLD THEM." Thanks JJ! Spent an early morning at JFK today getting there at 6:30, it was certainly worth the four hours of sleep I had the night before.

Indeed. Wow.

Great shots! Where did you take them from?

The 340 is one of the most lovely aircraft to take pics of. Glad to see you rocked the Etihad.

Great shots Tommy!! No wonder you weren't at the Mounds..lol

Man, how did you manage to get this close! Excellent shots.

wow SEXY shots!! Anyone manage to catch the PIA 773 that came in today?

Yes - got it at the Mounds - trying to get my photoshop work done without falling asleep...lol...maybe Monday or Tuesday...unless one of the other guys has one of it..

F U Tommy! LOL You got picture of pretty much every one of my favorite planes at JFK today. I would die for a print of the white and red 757. That is my fav bird on earth.

Whoa! Tommy, those are some of the best shots I have ever seen! Where were you??

It was the 200 unfortunately

Beautiful shots Tommy, freaking beautiful. Do you have a ramp pass?

Tommy, simply SPECTACULAR SHOTS, some of your best to date. Was definitely worth only 4 hour sleep I'm sure. And as I have previously said thought I am very disappointed in the new US Nevada scheme it looks a little better than before in that great light and with your photography skills. Thanks for getting so many shots up on the site for all of us to enjoy.

Cheers

LGA777

Tommy - gorgeous shots - but love that (Primaris?) red & white 757 most especially.

Thanks everyone, Tom I really did fall in love with that 757, she's a really clean bird in person.

Tom, simply amazing shots!

Mark, I can't wait to see your photos too!

steller, outstanding, perfect, what more can one say

Great shots everyone, but Tommy, those are remarkable!
What eqp. were you using?

I've finished processing my photos from LGA from yesterday (still working on the JFK shots). Here are some:

Tommy....sitting here drooling, wishing I still worked at JFK!

Phil, nice LGA banks!

Very Nice _Borat

Well it was a gorgeous day today, in Poughkeepsie at least, and I'm feeling a tad JFK deprived so please share your shots!

JFK for the most part was on the 4s all day. So if you didn't go out early in the morning (which was cloudy) no one could get anything worth a dime today. JFK did use 13R for arrivals for about an hour today which is rather rare. I did notice finally in the late afternoon they switched to 22 and 13 finally.

I posted these in the "other" thread, but here are JFK shots from 5/5 (all shots):

This guy was a bit of a surprise:

And this was the "catch of the day":

Unfortunately, this was the view we got of Wunala Dreaming as she went in for a 13 landing:

great shots yea the caravan was unusual to see

Its great to see a Delta 767 for Habitat for Humanity as me and some of my high school classmates are building with them a home for the poor in Tennnessee

Very nice shots Phil, nice shot of EC-JCZ. :)

Every time the 13/22 configuration is in use and I'm standing at either the mounds or Cargo Plaza I always look up waiting to see the Qantas 747-400 flying over on the downwind to try and get a glimpse if she will be Wunala that day.

I would have done everything possible on earth to catch her. :lol:

Did a quick edit on Habitat, couldn't believe Mark when he said it was coming in. A nice treat.

Sorry I missed the gang on Saturday - I headed out mid-morning, checked ATIS, and it was 31L departures, 4R arrivals. Thought I would head to Howard Beach for some departures. Just as I got there, they switched to 13L arrivals :roll:

Took a quick run through the cargo plaza, but it looked sort of busy, a bunch of cars & trucks parked and people coming and going. About the same time, they added 22L arrivals to the mix, so I headed out to North Woodmere. Of course, most of the interesting stuff looked to be arriving on 13L, but got a few decent shots:

Backlit all to hell, but a couple of cargo departures off 13L:

I had plans for later in the afternoon, so I didn't get to spend too much time out. I think I had more luck with the waterfowl:

What a great day Saturday was! It looks like all of us had some pretty good stuff. Hat's off to Tommy, Phil and John for some fantastic shots.
