The weather is shaping up to be perfect this weekend...temps in the mid-70s, dewpoints in the 40s (!), and a stiff breeze favoring the 4s on Saturday and the 22s on Sunday.
Who is going where when? :)

can't make it out this weekend, I will be in Maine.

I may head out Sunday to the mounds for the 22L arrivals.
Sat looks like the better day. May do some late afternoon shooting.
For anyone looking to hit LGA this weekend 4-22 will be closed for construction all day Saturday and till approx 1200N Sunday so no Plainview this weekend.
Cheers

Do you know if 4-22 is going to be closed the weekend of September 1-2 (two weeks from now)?Quote:

Good news then 31 will be in use, I might head out to LGA late Sat afternoon if I get caught up on what I need to get done. Ron do you know if any of the special schemes will be floating around then?
I'll be briefly stopping by EWR for about 40 minuts on way up from Cape May back home to attempt to catch Qatar and Malaysia.
I might head out to JFK in Sunday if the weather's good; I've got the 100-400 lens rented through this weekend and I may as well get some more use out of it.
Tommy even though Saturday is my day off with my wife and daughter still vacationing with my in-laws I will be doing a double Saturday starting at 0700 so I will let you know Saturday morning.Quote:

If I can get my butt out of bed, I think I'm going to try some morning HoBe action. That's the one place I haven't been to yet. Certainly looks like a "31" day with this forecast.

The wind is absolutely howling here. These pilots will be earning their money today. May head over later.
I wish JFK were on the way home from New Jersey! Today is gorgeous and 31's is what I have been dying for all this summer but unfortunately JFK isn't on the way back home.
Hopefully EWR will hold strong...
Looks like around the late afternoon/early evening the winds are from the WNW so they will probably switch to the 22s.
It's 60 degrees out. I had better see pictures here soon from at least 4,409 people that went out to JFK or LGA today. I wish I could go. :(
We are definitely on schedule to go on sunday. Just unsure of whether or not to go in the morning or later afternoon.
When can I catch most heavies? AM or PM? Prob PM right? And what runways are most likely at those times?
Anyone heading out on Sunday?
Juliet now, ILS 31R. May go over would rather have 22L. The sky is great.
the 707 N88ZL was at JFK today. If no one got a good photo of it, I swear I'm shutting down this site. PLEASE tell me someone for a Howard Beach departure shot finally.
