I'll be up this weekend - Andy has graciously volunteered to drive this weekend - was wondering who else might be around - so far the AccuWeather forecast has become a lot better for both Saturday and Sunday! My last chance to get the Emirates A380 before they pull it out of JFK - who's going to be around this weekend?
I'm going to be tied up Saturday (although I may be free later in the day for dinner or such) but I should be able to get out on Sunday.
Mark I wish I was going to be around but I'm not this coming weekend. I hope you enjoy your time here.
Thanks Tom - I know you said you'd be out of town! Next time! And John - sure - dinner will be on somewhere - we can talk on Saturday!
If I dont have much to do, maybe I can try for Sunday
I might be able to make it out Saturday.....
You know the A380 hasn't been coming like it use to...
Saw the 300ER on the afternoon arrivals more often... aircraft probably went MX...
Ive noticed the same thing, when I was at JFK last Tuesday Ive seen the A380 landed on 31L and Sunday on 13LQuote:

I'll be making the drive up from Florida this weekend for the Summer. Missed you by one weekend Mark!

Darn Matt - looks like you'll miss a glorious NY weekend - from what I see on Accuweather, 85 and 88 and sunny - looks like a fantastic weekend! Anyone else going to come out??? I'll have my cell - PM me if you need the number - or if you have Andy's number - I'll be with him....
Hi all,
My name is Daniel and I'm a first time poster, and a long time lurker here. I live in Stamford CT, and JFK is roughly 45 minutes away from me (without traffic). I wish I could join you this weekend, but I'll be watching my 1.5 year old daughter.
I'm a photography hobbyist (Canon), and especially interested in aviation and automotive photography. Some of you may know me as ARIDAN on POTN. :D
At any rate, just out of curiosity (or in case my plans change), where/when are you guys planning to meet?
Welcome Daniel
A lot is going to depend on the active's are - Accuweather is showing winds out of the South West at the moment - so they might be on 13's or 4's this weekend - will have to wait and see - but if you want, send me a PM and I can give you my cell number and if your plans change, give me a shout and I can tell you where we are.
Sounds good MarkQuote:

:lol: yes - I know exactly what you mean! :borat:
Be great to see you Tom if you can!Quote:

I've heard about the great luck you have bringing special visitors, so I'm looking forward to Ethiad bringing their F1 A345 in with you here. Will look forward to the pics when you are done.
John
Damn John - I was looking forward to meeting you as well! Can you join us for dinner at least???
If all goes as planned, I should be out Sunday. Looking forward to meeting you, Mark!
Im about to head out there soon, heading there by MTA, if someone can PM me that would be great so I know where to meet.
Have just got home - from an awesome weekend! Thanks everyone for coming out - Kenny, Moose, Adam, Joe, Nick, Tom, Sergio, Gordon and Gordon Sr - it was great to see everyone and meet people for the first time as well - it was an awesome weekend - the huge majority of the thanks to Andy though - that's my friend - you really are the best!
Got some nice shots on lift off - hope you guys enjoyed the Kuwait, the Air Berlin - I saw them as I got to the gate and the Kuwait as we taxied out on "Rhythm and Blues". Kenny - I have a picture of you extending the finger at the mounds - amazing what you can see from 1500'!! jetBlue 100 was leaving PBI when I got in - amazing where it had been since we saw it this morning - will be editing over the next few days - will post some here and some on my blog too - http://amateuravphoto.blogspot.com
Thanks again everyone for making it an awesome weekend!
Wish I went but I guess I cant go for a while until further notice, because..
1. School work in the way...im sure some of you still have h.w. still to do..and no AIM messages? wut the heck is going on?
2.Flu breakout? Yes, thats correct. High School in Queens has been tested positive for the flu..so now..im not going to be going within miles of the queens area.
Aviation Spotting is still my passion and will always be.

It was a great day at JFK spent with great company. I have a lot of shots to edit but these three were probably my top catches:

A few of my pictures that have been edited so far- a whole lot more in process at the moment...Thanks everyone for a great weekend!
