Manny were you at Bayswater?
I stopped by Inwood.

Hey Fred, yeah, Eric, Mark H, Steve and a couple of other folks were at the Bugswater Park ;-)
I had my son and his friend with me, both 12, and didn't feel like having them get eaten alive so we went to Inwood when we heard them using 4-R. Funny thing they switched to 22-L for the Luftansa A380 twenty minutes or so later.

Well, they are coming from Germany... you wouldn't wanted to have to make a huge circle around Sandy hook would you? LOL. JFK caters to their traffic, winds usually notwithstanding. I was sitting at Panera when they switched. After that, I ran through the T1 ramp from T9 to see her at the gate and then decide if they were looking like they were on time for a 2:00pm scheduled departure or not. If they were, I would have stuck around... but they were :30 minutes late (announced) and turned out to be much worse. Glad I left...

Nice going Matt :-) Feel free to use my photo on the slide show if you like.
Matt- great work! I feel like that third to last shot may actually make me see some sort of beauty in that otherwise obese biotch.
Great job gentlemen!!! I wish I could have joined you all, but all this traveling is kicking my lower cheeks. I wish you all had more favorable skies, but there'll be plenty of other opportunities.
Great shots guys !!!
Great shots Matt, Manny, and Eric. It was late when I got home last night so I didn't get to any of my shots yet. I will throw some up on here later tonight when I get home. I'll do my best not to duplicate any shots.
Am I seeing two anti-collision beacons on top of this whale-jet?Quote:

I believe it's simply a backup to aid dispatch rate...
These are morethan likely duplicates, but gotta face it....all teh angles have pretty much been covered already.
