JFK 1/10/10 Review

Had a smashing great day at JFK today, wonderful light and great variety. I headed to Howard Beach after being at JFK proper and was rather pleased with not only the traffic but the results. The Delta 777 did a breathtakingly beautiful bank for a good amount of time, certainly one of my favorites of the day.

The very rare American 737 at JFK. Even the Tower asked why it was at JFK, they didn't know of the events at EWR at the time.

Mario taught me that this team isn't called "Real" but "Ree AL." I'm still calling it Real.

Their standard scheme has a white pelican on an all-red tail, since this is an old Alitalia bird, they probably wanted their logo on it without a complete re-paint.

T-Bird76 AWESOME PICTURES !!

I started my day at 700 on the Howard Beach (nobody was there...) after 45 minutes I decided to see whats going on in Bayswater.... was freakin cold !!!!! but met NYCA family member :) after an hour or so.... Parking lot (shopping mall staples... firestone (?) ) and met much more NYCA family members :) It was an honor to meet you guys ! hope it wasn't last time... should post some pictures later... ohh BTW I didn't miss Arabian "bird of the day..." Almost crashed my car but have a great belly shot :)) !!

Chris, it was great meeting you. Cary, Adam, Moose, Phil, and Mel...always a pleasure. I still can't feel my balls from the cold.

If you had waited another 5 minutes, you would have gotten a shot without almost crashing your car...

Funny but my wife sent me a text asking if mine had yet fallen off in the cold.

Sigh i've been trying for Those AA aircraft for some time. Screw sleep next time i'm joining you guys. MY day wasnt half as good cause even though my 1st flight got cancelled i got swamped. Only had 4 shots all day today =/

ok... my pictures are ready.... what a day... what a long day... anyway I feel like I missed the biggest attraction of the day... to meet Phil :)

THANK YOU GUYS FOR A GREAT DAY.....

Kenny, I am dissapointed, no Newport. JK Great shots guys. Has anyone noticed that SP's have a much steeper tilt to the forward MLG than other 747's?

Awesome shots everyone - what a great day it was!!!

Love the shots. Thanks for the portrait!

Wow, lots of great pictures from all you guys! Hope ya'll treated yourselves to some hot cocoa after a day of good shootin'!

Well done! Some seriously amazing shots in this thread! :borat:

Great shots everyone...The wing flex on that JAL is sick!!!

Kenny great light on the Aeroflot A330.

Chris, looks like you got Tommy in this shot. :wink:

Finally the answer to "Where's Tommy?"


THats me under the reg, in front of the car.

next time make sure you smile....

I might moon you (you'd get top of the day on Anet!) but then you'd need a full frame camera :lol:

http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2771/...d819b98e_o.jpg

That's awesome! I as spotted while spotting! I love it!

http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u...2179/smoke.jpg

HAHAHAHAHAH the problem is that the bird didn't ask... just took the cigarette :)) Kenny was madddddd.....

Great stuff guys - seemed like a 777777777777777 day out there (agreed with John on the JAL flex - also on the ANA and DL) :borat:

Chris, looks like you were out there for quite some time! Kuwait, Uzbek & Tubby Français, all well accounted for (although the latter was a little hurried?)

Well I hope if I ever get caught its by tommy and not by some hardon who will send me away. Think I can work for the PA?

The bird clearly enjoys Parliments. Good on him.

A super series of shots here, I'm learning a lot from the work that is posted here at NYC Aviation. Here are some of mine from a cold Sunday afternoon. C&C always welcome.
