a fresh face surfaced in LGA on this cold winter morning, N515JT. she's registered to Bank of America in Ronkonkoma, and is a very traveled airplane.

Nice - I've caught her at FLL - she has a great color scheme.

Thats a nice one.. Caught it at JFK in 2007

Shes ISP based as the registry says. She has several sisters at ISP as well. You see her and family dancing around the NY metro quite a bit. Mostly ISP FRG and TEB.

Spirit 703 to FLL (A321) took a 5 hour delay Thursday evening, lifted off from 13 at 2:01am, making a counterclockwise loop over the East River before blasting straight over my house at around 3000ft and making me wonder if the Russians had finally arrived.

I wonder if they sent her here today on purpose.

as can be expected on a day like today, ACA just brough in a 763. she looked really pretty popping out of the fog on the ILS 22. C-FMWU on the tail.

26 January

1500L
caught the JBU new colors (N563JB) pushing off the gate. talk about making an ugly scheme uglier!

For once in a very long time I think I will have to agree with you Matt.

Anyone notice a chopper circling at about 3000ft about a mile south of runway 4 for about 3 hours this afternoon? Whatupwitdat?

if it was a white a-star then i think it belonged to the FBI. they landed when i got into the parking lot, i think they were just waiting on the pad to open. i heard two distinct helo's, jsut couldn't find the other one.

the newest Cactus A320 arrived today, only about 3 weeks and 143 landings with us so far. N126UW on the tail.
1345L
N664AA also popped in, AAL's Breast Cancer ribbon-ed airplane.

VP-BDJ just landed after flying in from KPBI via KIAD. of course a last-minute (premeditated?) runway change by the FAA put her on 22 instead of 31.

Saw her arrival over the Van Wyck, I listened to LGA tower and could not make out who that was. Thanks for the heads up!

Weird. Hope someone can get a pic. Parked at 5 Towers?

i think it's on "E" ramp, saw a white tail out of the corner of my eye but since i parked in the front of the employee lot i didn't get to see.

I did get a few nice shots of the Italian Air Force A319CJ today while I was at the Worlds Fair Marina.. I will upload her in the morning..

Senga Jr. you are indeed Sergio. Seriously, you are like New Yorks clutch man when it comes to catching aircraft.

For one thing I had no idea that this plane was coming. I already planned to spot at LGA which I mostly do at least once or twice a week.. I normaly don't always hop on ACARS.. But in my opinion, its all about luck.. I like to be surprised! However if I hear that something gud is coming, I will take my time to see if I can chase it down and let anyone know.. But yes I was happy to catch this Italian Air Force A319CJ.

Actually 2 came in, 1 mid afternoon and another around 2030L. The 1st one was at 5 Towers and the 2nd on the PAPD ramp near the MAT around 2200 last night. Looking forward to Senga Jr's. shots !

LGA777

5 February

1645L
Southwest brought in N714CB, one of the classicly-painted 737s.
1655L
N515JT popped in again, looked to be making a quick turn back out.

09 February

0000L
VP-BPZ arrivd from Providenciales, Bahamas.
1630L
LGA got a very pleasant surprise in the shape of an Allegiant MD-87. she arrived from Rome, NY (KRME) as AAY7092 and is filed to go out to Tunica, MS (KUTA) as AAY7093. the airplane is N945MA.

jetBlue A320 with new colors just landed on runway 4.

13 February

1030L
SWA's "Neveda One" (N727SW just laned, looks like she could use a polish.

also, VP-BPZ is still here as well as a turbine-powered straight tail bonanza with tuna tanks. awesome!!

Those turbine Bonanza's are really cool airplanes. I like them alot performance wise. However, they look like a Bonanza crashed into the ass end of a PC12 standing still with that long nose.

I saw (today around 2pm) a B-722 Super Advanced sitting where Trump's jet usually does. It has a dark blue tail with a huge, white "N". Does anyone know who this jet belongs to?

That 727 belongs to Peter Nygard, some sort of fashion designer. She is a frequent visitor to LGA.

Unless Nygard has a second plane, I don't think that's it. There's a really big uppercase "N" on the tail. It almost looks like the font for Northeastern Airlines.

I should also state that I didn't get to see the fuselage. Only the tail and winglets,
