In a completely unshootable position. This sucks. Senga, do you know when the bird is leaving?
****, I am leaving my house now. A 707 at ISP is defineately worth leaving the house sick for.
Kenny,
No there isn't anything on it yet. It should be there at least for today
Senga
Thanks!
It is not a problem.
Senga
You just have to want it enough. Of course, I should have listened to myself and gone out earlier in the afternoon when there would have been light on it...Quote:

NICE John!!! Very nice!!!
Very nice, Fred, very nice!
NIce shots. Any reason why it was there? Johnny T. in town?
Probably out in the Hamptons, but I heard that he'll be on Letterman early this week.
Excellent captures of the JT's 707
Thanks guys!
I could not get the angle I wanted as there was a jet parked by her nose messing up the shot I wanted....YOUR SHOT! DOH!Quote:

Great shots, guys! When was the last time ISP got a 707?
That is great!
Perhaps its on its way down to Haiti? There is a thread on Anet suggesting he is/was going to PAP
OK, is it still there? i didnt think I'd have a chance in hell of shooting it but I may be able to right before sundown, with a point and shoot.
Worth a trip down there around 4 PM?
anyone know when its departing?
Im off to the gym now, but if you hear anyhting Eric, please send me a text? Ill be working out probably 60 to 90 mins then will take the ride out.
Possibly, he's already been there but I know there were some Scientology-organized flights out of NY that had some issues...maybe he came up to pick up the extra folks.Quote:

ARGH! I need to get down there if its still there in the morning. This is a must get. Now all I need to do is find a way close to it aside from going through the shopping center.
I was down there today and it's still there. I was speaking with a couple of guys I know who work there and they said they heard he's going out tomorrow (Tues). Keep in mind, it's he said/she said info so I don't know how reliable it is.
I was also in my usual paperwork spot today catching up on my phone calls and a suffolk cop tossed me for the first time ever! I knew the rep of the PD's that work the airport but I had a good spot where my truck blended in and I got a great view of the runway. The cop was pretty cool about it but I didn't give him any crap, I started packing my stuff up as soon as I saw him turn around and start driving back. Lots of security floating around there this week so if you go to snap shots, make sure you have your ID readily available and be nice! :D
DYUWEFGWSJKH. I FORGOT TO HEAD OUT. NOW I GOT WORK DAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. I'll try for tomorrow if tis still there.
Here is another shot with some towers in the backround!

Tenative plans were for tonight but staying another dayQuote:

Plane open, wingtip lights on, all fueled up main door open, gpu running, engine covers still on
It's just travolta's engineer. Still planning on leaving tomorrow tho the wx is looking bad, but hey he can afford a 15k de ice bill
If someone can do it, take video. That would be sweet to see!
I might have to blow off the office for a while tomorrow and head out to ISP to watch this magnificent bird depart. It is probably the only time somthhing has ever worn an Australian air carriers colors into ISP. Maybe the last too! :borat:
here's my contribution

I saw them fuel up, but I left shortly after 3PM.
Fred, the sideon shot totally knocks my socks off. The best photograph of a 707 I have ever seen not in PanAm colors. Eric, if you photoshopped out the Hawkker and the new tower it would look like a color photo from the era.
She's still there as of 4:30.
Hooked to a powercart though and there is some activity in and out of her.
Super shots, guys! Fred, that head-on is killer! JT is on Letterman tonight, so I expect the jet will be here for a little while longer.
Leaving tomorrow afternoon
So why does JT keep his aircraft in the Quantas livery? Dont get me wrong it looks very cool but I'm curious. Is it
some type of promotional thing? I had read something about it in the past but cant recall.
He is basically just representing Qantas whereever he goes.
