    737-200 on finals ar FRG 120 seconds ago.

    walking out of the office and I wish I had my camera out. Instead I walked back in to post this.


    a 737-200, very quiet bird, mind you. its 1516 and she's at FRG right now.


    white with dark blue undercarraige that bleeds into the rudder/empennage.

    if you are out there with a camera, the light is fantastic, hope to see some pics later!
    And I, I took the path less traveled by
    and that has made all the difference......yet...
    I have a feeling a handle of people are going to be very interested in what I post in the near future.

    Sounds like the Sky King that Mel and I saw at LGA the other morning.

    Flightaware shows she came in from RDU - the Carolina Hurricanes play the Strangers on Tuesday and the Islanders on Wednesday. If this is their ride, she may be around a couple of days. I'll have to get over there tomorrow and see if she is still around.

    BTW, I hit the link on Flightaware for 737-200 (B73Q in Flightaware's code) to see what others were airborne, and got this result:

    WWW289.......B73Q.......Tonopah Test Range (KTNX).......Mc Carran Int'l (KLAS).......Mon 05:51PM EST.......Mon 06:35PM EST

    We all know what this flight is about, don't we!

    Ahhh Tonopah Test Range. (wink)

    Then again Area 51 doesn't really exist anyway.

    I might hit FRG in the afternoon and check it out.

    Janet (from another planet?)...I like how Flightaware shows it as "Unknown Owner"

    That is an oxymoron!
    The three most common expressions in aviation are, "Why is it doing that?", "Where are we?" and "Oh Crap".

    I saw her there last night after work, but she is down the south end near Atlantic Aviation, in a very unshootable spot, at least from outside the fence. Maybe John K can find a reason to be on the ramp and catch her.

    I only wish...we are just too busy to get time outside. Everybody with bucks is headed to Florida this weekend for Thanksgiving. UGH!

    But yeah, very unshootable spot.

    Darn John that would be a nice catch too. I was going to go to FRG but I froze my ass off at Bayswater all morning so I headed home. Somebody get it!
