Opening of the General Assembly is Tuesday, September 18th. There's a "high-level" event on climate change the following Monday, the 24th, but it's unclear if that's a head-of-government level gathering or not.
So I guess the aircraft will start to arrive the weekend of the 15/16?
Yep, no date on POTUS arrival yet (not that I could tell you anyway) :roll:

And the cool motorcades dashing around Manhattan.
Wouldn't spotting around that time be a bad idea?
Since the police be more touchy about spotting, I'd assume.

The next few weeks may be a little more intense with 9/11 anniversary next week (the first one falling on the
actual day, Tuesday) and the UN GA meetings. And now reports that Osama has a new video ready to be
broadcast. And dont forget the Jewish high holidays.
We were out at JFK last year and didn't have any problems, both at Costco (Firestone?) and the cargo plaza.Quote:

Don't worry, you may have eyes on you but as long as you aren't doing anything wrong or make sudden moves they will leave you alone. 8)
Hmm and not one of those things has to do with spotting...Please stop the paranoia...I'm me just PLEASE STOP!Quote:

Why not. With security taken up to higher levels the airports and surrounding areas will get
plenty of attention.

Wasnt that a Black Sabbath song? Actually a great Grank Funk Railroad song (Red album).
>Grank Funk Railroad song (Red album).<
GRANK FUNK? Oy!! :lol:
Last year when they all showed up for the talk-athon I was just getting in from Dubai, Dispatch messed up the hotel assignments and instead of going to Garden City, we went to Manhattan, we stayed at the Hilton.I would have gone home but the house was being renovated so there was no roof.So after getting settled the four of us go out to search for some food, we're walking along and since I was tired I said I was going to head back to the hotel, so about 3 hours later, the guys come back, we're talking and one of them goes"Oh yea, some famous guy was at our restaurant", so of course I as..."who?", and after looking at each other one says"Abdul...Abdill....no Abdulllah, Oh yea!! King Abdullah" Turns out they were sitting 3 tables away from the King of Jordan.
Any guesses on which aircraft will be coming? I might even go up there if the fares are reasonable enough.
Maybe something rare (for us in florida) like the Brunei, Air Zimbabwe?
King Abdullah of Jordan is known for going supermarket shopping in Georgetown whenever he comes to Washington (about once a year).
anyone with some info on who/which countries/planes are coming?
I wouldn't be surprised if a nice Iran Air 707 showed up.
What are the chances some in the Iranian govt or Ahmedinajihad himself will show up? ..on the 707! wow
If I remember correctly he was here last year for the UN GA.Quote:

An Iranian news agency reports that Ahmadinejad WILL attend, will arrive September 24, and will stay for two days before heading down to Venezuela to hang out with Hugo Chavez.
http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340 ... 88,00.html
Anyone heard any more on this? GA starts today and there should be some Amiri flight visitors later in the week but don't know specifics. Wonder if the Iranis might come with the Conviasa A340 that is apparently doing the THR-CCS now.
I believe next week is the week when the head of states will be visiting the Assembly which is bringing as far as I know Bush, Ahmadinejad, and a certain leader who uses a TU-154 are coming this weekend. ;)
POTUS will be here Tuesday also. He and the Iranian guy are both addressing the UN that day. Traffic
should be fun.
air traffic has been interesting. we're landing 4 and departing 13 due to the TRF up. even helo traffic has been flying DIRECTLY over my house which is exremely rare.Quote:

RzPL Tu-154 will be coming to EWR around 13:50.
Are there many coming to EWR, or mostly JFK?
so nothing cool has come in yet?
I've been told to expect aircraft arriving at SWF tomorrow, Sunday, and Monday.
Red One is showing TWJ1 an A319CJ due JFK at 1113 from Tenerife. This is Luton based G-NMAK.
Presumably it's got some African VIP on board.
Flightaware is showing that private 777 N777AS should be at EWR today (9/22).
Hi folks,
I'll be down in the NYC area tomorrow, chasing airliners for the UN show this week!
Boston is currently hosting an Indian Falcon, which maybe headed into NY on Sunday.
