And most likely, a Moose sighting or two...

Yes sir, Ray. I remember you. Your Canon had died a mysterious and painless death that fine day. It would be great to shoot with you again. Hopefully you can shoot the whole day this time. Hit me up when you are in town. I can PM you my cell number.

Thats pretty cool, I don't think I would be able to get away for both evenrs and seeing I live about 10 minutes away from the Canadian warplane Heritage museum and see WWII aircraft flying around every weekend I would think I would need to take advantage of JFK. Looks cool though and I won't lie seeing a whole heap of B25s would be cool!

Ray! What's up man. Yeah I remember your camera dying, that was a sad day. I plan to be in town that wknd but have to work Friday. Gotta do the family thing for some of that time but can try to get away for a bit, keep us posted about your plans

Well I checked with my wife and she wabnts me to go on the friday to the Airport. I am going early and plan to stay until it gets dark! I am hoping for redemption from the last visit!

Just to update anyone coming out Friday, I will still be out there! Mr Hickman I will be texting you then!

Sorry I won't be able to get there in time Ray but I hope you enjoy yourself. So tell us, what did you end up replacing that old camera with? If I had Canon glass I would go for the new 70D, it looks fantastic

Hey
I ended up getting a T3i. its a major change from the xti atleast with regards to megapixels!

Ray, Nice meeting you yesterday. Hope you catch all the "birds" you're chasing here in NY!
Don

Hi Don
Yesterday was great. I did get lots of birds I was after. a few suprises as well. It was great meeting you and those other guys. definatly getting the CX748 was nice, and getting. plus all the A380 action.

If you are ever wanting to spot up at YYZ let me know.

Once I get back to Canada I will pist a few of my pics.

Cheers

Ray...show your Aeromexico shot if you have one!

Hey jared, unfortunatly it was far away and the shot wasn't great so i deleted it!

Ray it was also nice meeting u out there too.

Here is a chunk of afternoon arrivals I took. other than the KLM and the LOT Ethiad and Turskish the rest of these are not ones I see at YYZ, I see Alitalia and Aeroflot but its with smaller equipment. I took others but I am at work and I don't have them handy.

I tried posting the shots right into the thread but it didn't work so here is a link to them all.
