JFK 8/25

Great day, great company. By far the biggest NYCA turnout I' been to. The morning haze was tough and I'll edit those shots another day.

It was a great day today - a good group out to spot, and the afternoon weather turned out to be really nice (if a little warm). It was good to meet our international visitors, hope you enjoyed spotting at JFK. I haven't had a chance to go through my pictures, but did come across this one I thought I would share. Looks like Kenny (wunaladreamin) was shooting pictures of the ticks at The Mounds, but forgot to look over his shoulder... :wink:

Truly an enjoyable day and a fantastic turnout! I'm much to tired to even look at my shots from today. The afternoon at the mounds proved to be worth waiting for the morning fog to burn off. To both Florian and Paul it was great meeting you guys, I'm really happy you enjoyed JFK and it was great spending time with both of you, safe journeys!

Moose you're an ass lmao!

I just love non-rev trips. I had a great time, nice meeting you all and I hope we can all do it again soon. Looks like I missed some action there towards the end. Until next time, see ya 'round.

It was great to meet Paul and Florian as well as Chris and to see some old faces again. Great day at JFK despite the 22R heavy action, getting hit in the head with a soccer ball, numerous delays, and loosing the sun 20 minutes early due to a camouflaged massive cloud system!

I'm thinking the reason why we got the Avianca MD-80 so late today was that it must have diverted at some point earlier in the day or it was just running on a delay.

Yes he was shooting that giant tick that chases everyone at the mounds and asks for ID. Nice day and it was great meeting Florian.

It was nice meeting many of you and putting faces to usernames.

It was especially fun for us as the little one was plane watching too.

Nice shots you guys looks like it was a nice day there while I was in Atlantic City.

First time ever seeing a USAirways 757 fly into JFK. Is it going to be a regular visiter or what? I like to catch one while i can

Damn! The fog was so bad out here in Suffolk, I didn't bother to make the drive. Sorry I didn't, looks like it really cleared up for you guys.

small request.

if anyone took pics of our little one, please email them to me?

grazie :mrgreen:

You all got some great pictures!

Moose, great post-processing on the Pink Delta shot :D

Mario - I took a few pics of your kid. I haven't had time to do anything with the pics yet (like copy them to my computer), but I'll let you know.

It was good to meet you all...

Here are a couple of my photos. I haven't really had time to edit many of them.

Nice shots everyone...looks like it was a great weekend!

Chris, I love the contrail off the Icelandair wing!

Nice shot of the Icelandair, Chris.

I forgot to mention this but I thought it was interesting that on Saturday I photographed two out of the three Iberia A340-600s that I have flown on into JFK. EC-JBA and EC-INO.

Uhhh you all are way too quick for my taste....my shots still sit on the laptop :mrgreen:

It was a big pleasure meeting all of you guys, didn't expect the weather to turn out that lovely in the afternoon. Was very good to have a bigger group together, so I'm certainly not the only one who's BUGGED right now :shock:

I'll share some shots later with you guys, maybe over the next few days....got a few "bushier" angles at the mounds, hope you'll still be interested hehe. Also once again and in public, thanks for the lovely dinner guys, was a big pleasure for me meeting you all!

BTW:...here's a 34th East heliport shot... thanks for the directions there! Beeeeeaaaacon :)

The Avianca was N160BS, Matt.

Here the only photo that's halfway decent from the early morning on Saturday. I love the fog sometimes, in cases such as this.

All, except the Emirates 777 and American 777 (2nd from top). Those were in the morning, on 31R

Alright guys, hope some of you still bother to look, took me quite some time to dig through the shots after returning home.... toured Austria a bit with friends :wink:

As Chris showed already, a lovely morning shot 8)

Aaand once again thanks guys for all your assistance and presence that day....! Was excellent meeting you all, and I'll try to return asap for sure!

cheers 8)

Great shots, Florian. It was a pleasure spotting with you, I hope you can visit again.

Hi Guys ... nice to see this thread on here. I had a great day and it was excellent to meet you all. Thanks again Tom for the chaffeur service and waiting for the late arrival! ;0)

I Got home last Friday, had a manic weekend and I'm having a manic week, so nooooo time. There's some great photos here ... damn pink 757 - turn your back and look what happens! :shock: ... Florian - love the helo but did you get the reg of that gull? :wink: ... thanks for "the Jordanian" Chris (sounds a bit suspect said like that huh? :lol: )

I came back with about 2000 photos from our NYC trip (about 400 from JFK) but I'm still working through my last US visit back in April (EWR-CLT-IAD-EWR) and have a stack from the UK going back to 2006! I'm impressed at how quickly you guys get your pics up on-line ... maybe I'll get around to posting mine up on JP.net in a few months time which will be great to remind me what a fantastic time I had, but I'll try to make some time to get a handful up in this thread that might interest you this weekend.

Paul :D

Great shots Florian.

If I had my camera backpack on, I'd look more balanced ;)
