Meh... Sundays are when me of my other half catch up on a lot of stuff. Tomorrow involves major grocery shopping and a trip to Ikea :tongue: So I guess that's another no-no for me :'(

I should be around...

Best Thing about Panera: Bathroom
Second Best Thing: Food
Third Best: Minimal Time Lost While Spotting

If I could have it my way, I'd have the camera upload directly... but so far the current batch of Wi-Fi for Nikon has not impressed me. I have one of them and while it is good for someone who is a capture guy and has someone at headquarters editing, it is not yet good enough for the average joe. It does work well, but you need to set up an ad-hoc net to a laptop with special FTP software yada yada.

But yes, Uploading from cam while I snap, oh how cool is that! :cool:

Today should be a good day to get some of the new JetBlue tails for those of you on the hunt.
03-13-2011, 12:33 PM

The positive plan for today is 31's the rest of the day due to winds... 22's are going to be hard to justify with the crosswinds...

great to see everyone out today! Despite the abysmal conditions for a good portion of the time and the lack of traffic, it's always a pleasure to be in good company. Just a couple new shots from me outside of the usual suspects. Did anyone stick around Panera to catch "Better City Better Life"? Looked like it would have been GREAT light for it.

It was great getting out there for a bit and seeing you guys, even though I was "unarmed" without a camera. Any facetime with the planes is good times. Can't wait until it gets warmer...I didn't expect it to be chilly and dressed like a moron.

Beautiful shots, Eric! I should have hit The Mounds after they switched!

No new colors, but added two to my collection - only four to go!

I will need to get a better shot of this one - an inopportune cloud got in the way - but at least I've caught it...

This guy came in on 31L while we were over at Panera...

It's a private A319, registration G-NMAK. It is owned by Mohammed Abdel mohsenAl-Kharafi & Sons, a Kuwaiti based company with business dealings in Kuwait, Egypt and South Africa.

So that was your excuse this time? :wink: Good to see you Phil!

Ouch. :-p

What B6 registrations are you missing? Are you missing any that were already retired?

Out spotting without a camera Phil? That's like showing up to your honeymoon without your ****. lol

Glad I didn't get married then because I woulda messed that up, too! haha

I haven't been shooting much lately and lent my equipment to a friend. I also sold away some to make room for upgrades in lenses.

wunaladreamin

LOL I can't hammer you at all over not shooting much. It's been over a year since I've seen JFK. Eventually I'll get my sorry ass out there.

Great shots boys!

No, I thought I was, but going through my old photos, I found I had all but two, and B6 got those back from Blue Wings. Getting 531 today was the last of those I was missing. All I need now are 3 E-190s, 317, 323, and 324, and their newest A320, N784JB. I shot N317JB twice last weekend, but both were beyond crappy shots...

What happened? The 22's for far longer than expected... I was at HoBe in the afternoon waiting for some good action but the 22s stuck even though it was 310 degrees on the winds throughout! ugh! LOL

So there I was chatting away with Eric and Kaz and such, then nothing really interesting... I decide to go to Costco and get it over with. Looked through my binoculars downrange, nothing but an A330 and a B777 with a B6 in front... so off I went. As I am making the left onto Costco from Rock Blvd, she comes right over my head under GORGEOUS light!!!!!!!!!

Hahahahahahaha. Mark "heeshung" is now CRACKING UP I can see him now. As he says, "Don't Look Back" (I know Mike, you told me today as we walked into Panera) but this sucks. Worse, my cam was in the trunk. I could have shot it from the window, cables and all.

I have that plane a few times but always in crappy weather! Another one to hunt!

When does JFK ever go by wind direction.lol I was hoping they were going to stay on 31's but in the back of mind you look at your watch and see its around 4PM and here comes a runway change.

Awesome set Mark! A lot of unusual angles that I wish to know where they were taken from :smile:
