Nice shots guys! It was a great day to be out there and was great hanging with Kaz as always and meeting up with Manny, Mark, and Eric again. Was a pleasure as always! We defintitely had some great light all day.

Hopefully I will be able to post my shots later on tonight. Having a little bit of computer trouble (virus). I almost lost all the photos I took yesterday. Luckily I hadn't started the dump from my memory card when my computer crashed on me.

Good shots of us guys up on the mounds Mark.

That Air Berlin Airbus passed directly over my head just as it was turning final to 22L at about 18:00 last night. About 1/2 hr later I saw a gray 767-100 with a red tail and unpainted rudder flyover the Old Country Rd area. Any ID on it (looked kind of like the old Airborne Express livery).

Kaz, it looks like it was a bit "breezy" at Bayswater :-)

Nice stuff ... I wish I had gotten out there earlier... would have liked the Lufty A380 out of 22R !

Kaz, what kid? :tongue:

Bro, I'm sorry but I am just sitting here at my desk in my office laughing my rear off every time I think about it and picturing your face towards the end ........... LOL .. esp by the time he was just sitting on the ground ... that just did it !

Nice set, what is up with that white and silver A333? Converted A332 to an A333 or rather A333CP332? :P

Brandon, it works like the old fashioned Kitchen Dining tables... they pull it apart and add a ring when they need to carry more people :tongue:

The BIGGEST problem is now everytime we are there, and he is there, he will think we are his friends and he will just repeat... [that] will be sad. We need to make sure we push the city to make that wooden pathway by the marsh for us to escape to ... lol

Here are some more (still have many more to look through).

I only had time to get a few done so far. Just got my computer back last night. Ive been going crazy not being able to work on my photos.

Nice stuff Steve .. glad you are finally working on your pics !

Thanks Kaz!

You have no idea how excited I was last night to get home and crack that laptop open. I threw dinner in the oven and then sat in front of the computer for an hour til the timer went off. Then as soon as dinner was done, it was right back on the computer. THen once the editing was done I realized that I had to set my internet connection back up and that I forgot the password to access the router. Then IE was moving too slow so I had to download google chrome which I finally got installed this morning and then FINALLY was able to post my pics.

At least all that is over now, and things are back to normal with my computer.

I'm still going to images from this past weekend...........I should be posting some more later tonight.

Me too Mark. I only did a handful last night. I did some others, but didn't want to duplicate too many that were already posted.

Steve......I hear you on the duplicate stuff.....that is why I always like to have a different view/perspective. Otherwise, all our images will look the same.

I agree totally Mark. I'll have to start moving around a little more when I come down there. Also why I like to feed my cravings for spotting by goingto the small airports up here near me. They may be full of smaller jets and props, but its something different to look at once in a while.

Great stuff from all of you..

I really hope to catch some of those heavy birds that you guys have at JFK, when I come to NY in a few weeks :cool::cool:

I was out very early and got some video.
