Newark Airport Family Day: October 5th 2013
The Port Authority will be once again hosting the annual Airport Day festivities, with this year's events scheduled for October 5th. This is probably your best chance to spot at EWR with zero problems from security. Last year, a couple of us even spent most of the day chatting with an FJC guard while we took all the pictures that we wanted. :eek: Last year there was free food, a United 767-400 to tour, tons of airport equipment and GA Aircraft to get up close with, de-icing bucket rides, and much more.
I'll update this post as the event gets closer and more details are announced.
Update 8/29:
Here's a link to the Plane Pull portion of the event which benefits the Special Olympics. That page mentions that the Plane Pull starts at 8:00 am. Hat tip to Seth Miller for passing this along.
Update 9/3: Here's the thread with the info from last year's event.
Update 9/29: Here's a flyer from the Special Olympics with directions and instructions for the event.
Update 10/2: From the Port Authority on twitter: "The event: a plane pull, petting zoo, aircraft and other equipment displays, food and giveaways." From the Special Olympics: the plane pull begins at 8am.
