Will try to catch it.....if I can get out of work a tad earlier.
Steve,
Looks like it's leaving Sat early AM returning Sun around noon
When you say early AM, do you mean before sunrise? I will be down on saturday and whenever I come down I am always there from first rays of sun.
planned at 6am, unless she's late for some unforseen reason
I think I may have to head over by the terminal area then, just in case it heads out on time. Where did you find the planned departure time for saturday?
Not the greatest shot, because I was in motion! Two things I forgot .... my scanner, and stay put, I left my scanner home so I was playing it by ATC mobile. Unfortunately, I postioned myself for a 31L approach figuring they would put Atlas on the left side, but NO, they put her on the right side, and by the time I got there she passed in front of me. She landed around 5:30pm. Here is the best I could do.

really nice shots Mark, It's been a long time coming and it's nice to finally see picture of it. @ Steve, I work for Atlas :)
Ah, thats a good way to find things out :tongue:
Hopefully they don't go wheels up on saturday until the sun is out.
Love the shots! I kept clicking on this thread waiting to see what it would look like!
I like the Atlas colours and they look real sharp on the 767.
Nice catch.
Looks real nice !! Great catch Mr Mark :wink:
Steve,
Looks like it will depart after sunrise on Sat now... 9am returning a few hours later.. happy hunting !
Thanks for the info....I will most definitely try my best to bet out Saturday very early.
Thank you for the update! Hope the runways are set up for good light on departures tomorrow. A 31L departure at 9AM would be great tomorrow. But at least if I can't get her departing, I can always get her arriving a few hours later.Quote:

Very nice catch sir :-)
Steve and Mark.
the Sat flight has been scratched.. sorry for the late notice. She will stay put at least thru mid week for now..
Okay.....thanks for the update! We appreciate you keeping us informed. Feel free to PM with details as you get them.'
The aircraft will depart this morning at 10am, arrive back about 2hrs later...
Thanks for the update .... since I have the day off from work today, will make an attempt to catch it. I hope it will be a 31L - Kilo Kilo departure!
GRRRRRRRR....I knew I should have taken the day off today :frown:Quote:

Definitely still on ground, Im not at work so I am out of the loop
looks like the switched to the 13's now , as far as I can tell it's still on ground
the JFK-JFK has just changed to JFK-SWF..
Steve,
This will eventually be a regular bird :-) No worries!
Good to know! Still, I like to catch things from time to time before they become "regular" birds. Like getting that Saudia A342 last weekend, it just gives you a whole different feeling when you press that shutter button.Quote:

I just heard it depart on LiveATC.net :-) "Giant 9739 Clear for Takeoff" and then "Giant 9739 Contact Departure"

Thanks for the heads up on the Atlas DHG750R. Caught her landing around noon from Bayswater. I thought the light was going to be bad since the clouds were hanging around then just before she came in the light started to get better.

Nice catch Mark!
I know what you mean Steve, but the Saudia 342 is better than that.. its never going to be a regular bird around here.Quote:

As a side note, an Atlas passenger 747 is currently parked at hangar 19 for a couple of days N464MC
Yeah, you are right about that. Thats never a regular bird anywhere. From what it sounds like, it very rarely ever flies.Quote:

Also, for our friends in South Florida, the other 767 is in PBI , departing at noon local today. If you miss her, it will be back later tonight to spend a couple of nights
Any chance she will be back at JFK on Saturday?
